All the bad things JKR has done. A history.

I think this is a good time to go over all the bad things JKR has done (as started on the did he or didn't he Jon Stewart thread) Earlier, I went into the bathroom and I noticed JK Rowling had moved the cat litter tray so I stood in a little bit of cat poop.

I ate a whole packet of lentil crackers. It was her fault.

You are Ron Weasley & I claim my 5 galleons… 🤔

Anyone else whos finished The Running Grave will know that my anger with JKR is justified for that cliff hanger

@EmmatheStageRat
I’m genuinely ridiculously next-level pleased for you & your DDs, though much sympathy-empathy wrt Death Eater & aftermath. “Access” is so often limited to some variety of Carer discount then lifts, loos, hearing loop & bits of Braille 🤦‍♀️ When places get it right - which nowhere ever can completely, of course, because needs conflict, but trying as hard as possible is the answer, as opposed to not bothering - it’s like a revelation. As far as the Death Eater goes, I don’t blame your DD: I’ve seen “Cursed Child” twice, & on both occasions was scared out of my wits by Voldemort’s exit such that I almost climbed into the lap of the person I was with. In fairness, on both occasions they were also hauling me towards them. (I like to think it wasn’t to use me as a human shield, but 🤷‍♀️) I hope your DD is able to sleep in her own bed again soon.

@BrontëParsonage
I’m still longing to go (& I live in London…) & that level of accessibility is an exceptional recommendation in & of itself. Have a fantastic time trick or treating 😁

And making me pretend everything was fine after she Avada Kedavra-d Dumbledore off the Astronomy Tower when I was away with half a dozen friends all reading the newly-published HBP but much the fastest reader.

@NitroNine honestly, the accessibility was second-to-none. We went in a group for blind and partially-sighted children (my DD1 is blind). We were fast-tracked through every queue and we got amazing hands-on opportunities. The staff at the Harry Potter Studios Tour were among THE most educated and tolerant with regards to visual impairments we have ever encountered. My VI child and my non-VI child both had a blast. My non-VI child does probably still have a grudge with JKR because it was no doubt HER fault that, while we were relaxing on the animated Hogwarts Express, a Death Eater appeared at the window. Honestly, JKR, much as I champion you, I’m an exhausted single mum and now I have my perpetually terrified child who refuses to sleep in her own bed. I will gladly swap you gangly seven-year-old elbows, knees and ankles for a down mattress and accompanying pillows!

No, but she forced me - a skint single mother - to buy a wand each for my two daughters on our once-in-a-lifetime visit to the Harry Potter Studios Tour. (I am bringing them up to be feisty feminists who value the rights of human females). Our wands will make our Halloween Trick or Treating and we can live on beans and toasts for a fortnight. Honestly, the Harry Potter Studios Tour is the best thing we have ever done as a family; it was AMAZING. Just to add, my DD1 is blind and she got as much enjoyment out of our visit as her fully sighted sibling.

For context, the man she is "guffawing" at is gay.

It's okay to guffaw at people who talk shite.

NitroNine · 10/10/2023 19:22

@ISpyCobraKai she is shameless, but at least she has good taste… & you will be nice & warm 😁

@Waitwhat23 I felt the adjective provided the necessary emphasis 😊
You know, I’d even take one for the team & write a draft of HAH if JKR would just let me borrow her notes 🤷‍♀️

Did JKR force anyone else to buy the Wizarding Almanac? Admittedly it was cheaper from Bloomsbury than Amazon & I got a wee notebook of useful size with it, but she needs to stop spending all my disposable income.

Mine arrived just now (I was perched on the stairs waiting for the DPD Driver like some kind of bibliophilic bird of prey, ready to swoop) & it is glorious. I still want her to write Hogwarts, A History though…

Ooh, Hogwarts: A History would be glorious!

I am very tickled by your use of the phrase 'bibliophilic bird of prey'

ISpyCobraKai · 10/10/2023 17:48

This!

ISpyCobraKai · 10/10/2023 17:46

She forced me to buy this hoody.
What a cow.

@IcakethereforeIam - JKR definitely started it. She has the notes, drafts, & literal proof[s] 😁
As for the name of the House with the Badger as its emblem, that depends on where in the world you are. The Romanian “Astropuf” makes me imagine little space!badgers - & the Welsh Wfftiwff is fab too.
