Because like much of the last few Harry Potters books, it's appallingly written, not to mention utterly unnecessary.
Also, the kids have fucking ridiculous names.
Erm no.

More than how she's characterized, it simply felt like there was no build up to it, no interactions suggesting that things were moving in that direction between them (or much of anything more platonic between them before then that I could really remember). By the time it happened, it was pretty much, "okay, these two are a couple now".That's more to do with the casting I think, Ginny had zero personality in the movies and seemed like the polar opposite of the character in the later books
Erm no.
IT's like you just have terrible opinions on almost everything
Thank you. I can't stand the amount of love Snape gets. Yea his story with Lily is nice, and he did ultimately fight for the good side, but he was an absolute jackass to so many students.
I don't hate it at all!
The Cursed Child on the other hand...
Was so heroic bullying Neville all those years

Harry should have named one of his sons after Fred; what a greedy mother fucker!
The only Potter book I ever read was the one where Harry gets with Cho Chang, and it was pretty much the only story thread I enjoyed, and felt like it was the start of a great relationship.Harry getting with Ginny instead of Luna was some bulllshitttt.
In the movies, it was so dumb that they just didn't recast some older actors as them but instead tried to make these young kids look old:
What gets me is the weakass justifications for Snape being a dick to his students. Like somehow, Harry and Ron not being the best students justifies Snape being an asshole.
Like, if that were the case, why was he such a prick to Hermione too?
The Snape shit is the biggest bit of stupidity in the franchise.
The dude was a Death Eater. He's responsible, wittingly or not, for Harry's parents being dead. Can you imagine being a big enough dick to get somebody killed and then bully his kid for having the gall to look like him? He's basically the second most evil character in the franchise.
All you needed to do was leave his legacy as complicated and it would be good. But noooooo, you just have to pretend like he was a hero.
Redemptive themes aren't new in fiction.
I don't think that is correct at all. Ron & Hermione were being played up as a potential thing all the way since the 4th book when they started getting petty about eachother's dating choices. They just didn't know how to transfer their friendship into a relationship. Rowling did a decent job building them up, but she gave nothing to them once they were established in the last moments of the bookHermione and Ron are like the worst couple ever. Zero chemistry. Hermione had more chemistry with that Viktor Krum dude in a super limited amount of time than she had with Ron during the whole series.
Albus Severus Potter.
I haven't read or seen past the 5th installment, but, is it true that Ron got so drunk at his wedding that he forgot it?
ExactlyReads like fanfiction basically.
Poorly written fanfiction.
GRRM has said he's a fan of Tolkien's style of a longer resolution. When he writes the final chapters of ASOIF he's said he's going to follow the LOTR style instead of the Harry Potter style. I'm very glad for that. I've spent too many books and too many years growing attached to the characters in ASOIF to say goodbye in just 5 pages.
A villain?I could understand Harry naming his kid for Snape.
But Dumbledore? Dumbledore was practically a villain by the time you got all the details about him. He admitted to completely screwing up Harry's life from more or less day 1, and Harry knew that Dumbledore blackmailed Snape into being a spy by using Harry's life as a bargaining chip.
Why the hell would you name your son for someone like that? Albus got screwed up enough as is when he got older. Can you imagine if he knew the truth about the guy he's named after?
A villain?
He had flaws, which revealed him as human rather than the saint like image he had built up, but that doesn't make him a villain
I once did an indepth analysis on Dumbledore's decisionmaking throughout the series, and in every book he shits the bed in some way or another, though I forget where I put it down so I can't recall too many specifics. Jokingly, I said he's either evil or the midst of some very well covered up senility. But what he actually is is kinda badly written.

It's been a while since I've read them but wasn't Ginny all "Nah dude, I'm over you," to Harry until he took the super potion?
Their whole relationship is due to that, which is kinda weird.
Can't wait for GRRM troll epilogue.

Book 1 - almost definitely. That said, Harry probably didn't even have to show up because Voldemort never would have gotten the stone out of the mirror. Dumbledore's defence was the only good one appliedI once did an indepth analysis on Dumbledore's decisionmaking throughout the series, and in every book he shits the bed in some way or another, though I forget where I put it down so I can't recall too many specifics.

I still can't get over DH pre epilogue ending with Harry wondering if Kreacher will make him a sandwich. The epilogue itself felt really off tone and added more questions to ones that were left unanswered as it was. The cursed child is undoubtedly worse in nearly every way but that doesn't mean the epilogue is salvageable as what was meant to be the closing scene of a long grand journey.
I will always have a fondess for the harry potter series and it's massive if at times bizzare fandom but I can't deny that the books seemed to get worse as things went on and the epilogue did not feel like the payoff it should have for reaching the end of this tale.
Could be worse though, could the pants on head "wtf were they thinking" epilogue in digimon 02.
Granted, if he had been better at Occlumency Arthur Weasley would have died.Book 5 - he was rendered pretty powerless by the Ministry's interference and couldn't even interact with Harry because of the connection with Voldemort. Harry was also an impulsive idiot who refused to practice occlumency which would have prevented everything
