wow i hoep this runs better as a lay.

i don't know but i am also interested in the answer to this question

i

this

really is

a bad fanfic

ikr I only skimmed my sister's copy and it was like

...I have written this fanfic

that's how I felt about book 6

Rowling's never been good at writing. It's just that now you're old enough to notice it

actually I don't think she did much writing for this one???

but she def approved it

i do think she's good at worldbuilding and turns of phrase

oh yeah the STORIES are fine. It's just that getting through those stories is kind of a slog

(did you HAVE to be a thousand pages, book 5? I really don't think you had to be a thousand pages.)

oooh, i can see where you're coming from

like. Rowling works well as a children's author because she's a good storyteller and uses a lot of repetitive phrasing (lots of "dialogue, said Harry" and "dialogue Harry said, nonplussed"). But a lot of it

DOES come off as petulant Anne Rice-y responding-to-the-fandom like that horribly awkward "AND BTW HARRY LOVES GINNY NOT HERMIONE AND ALSO BLAISE ZABINI IS BLACK"

with that said, feel free to let me know what happens with Neville because the scene with Neville and his parents and the gum wrapper is the single most amazing thing in all 7 of those books

neville does not actually aear in the book

i just finished it

it was. it was a huge letdown

we went through 3 different aus

and the ending was cringe-worthy

i mean the mentions of neville was send him our leove, being killed in one verse, and then talking about using his lants

It's a lot of fun to see as a play, but the actual plot is terrible

yeah reading it as a "book" was cringeworthy at best and it seemed so choy

choppy*

i was hoing the play was better

The actors, costumes, special effects, and choreography were all brilliant.
