Credit to @deprecated_ii for this find. He may not watch it, but I will (my autistic curiosity curses me to do so). I do not advocate that anyone else does so.
While there are plenty of moronic ideas this guy has, one of the worst I have seen so far is "There needs to be a deeper motivation for Hermione to so focused on academics at Hogwarts."
Maybe some people are just wired that way. Do we need to make it more complicated than that? Apparently we do, according to this faggot.
>Hogwarts is too white!
Meanwhile, I found that the demographics in the UK in 2001 was 88.5 percent white British. And given the first book was written in 1997, this would mean that the population was probably a slightly higher percentage white. So having just a few confirmed non-white characters in a mostly white school is quite accurate.
It seems someone has been taking Netflix adaptations too seriously when they show the racial makeup of countries in the past.
I looked at his youtube page and he's a children's therapist, which makes him about the last person on the planet I would ask for advice about what kids like
This is the same sort of faggot that will crow about how the people he hates don't have media literacy.
Therapists don't even know what THEY like, they only know what they're SUPPOSED to like. Proof is that most therapists see a therapist.

@houseoftolstoy rawling gas had the idea for like a decade or two and took another to write. So she wad thinking in the 60s or 70s britain.
I do not count myself as a Potter fan, neither Rowling, but for an author and a work to achieve such levels of world-changing success there cannot be an assumption that the Potter books need to be fixed. Ideological and plot disagreements are a matter of taste, or subjectivity, and cannot be used as spring board to doubt the technical sides of the work. By the way, from the little I have read of the Potter series, it seems to be the work of a refined craftswoman.
Faggot thinks that'd make it more compelling, but he's wrong. He's only looking at it from his personal perspective, but movies have broad audiences. Trying to impose tight constraints on fictitious movie characters? Can't separate his work from leisure, LOL.
It's just what Hermoine does, it really doesn't matter WHY. So just leave it open-ended. A kid who is pressured by parents can identify with her, but a kid who just likes getting the high score can as well. And all the other kids can think "oh, I know someone like that".
@MCMLXVIIOTG @deprecated_ii >but a kid who just likes getting the high score can as well
I was this kid for most of school. So I know this mindset exists. Some people also just like learning and schoolwork just because.
@deprecated_ii Even worse, the guy thinks it would be a good idea to make Hermione dyslexic, as that would serve as a strong motivator for her to try hard and acheive in her academics.
J.K. Rowling was not masterful writer one bit, but I most certainly prefer her simple and flawed writing to the ideas this "well ackchyually" guy thinking that overcomplicating a story makes it better.
