Emma Watson Almost Quit “Harry Potter” Because Of How Famous It Made Her As A Child
In the 20th Anniversary special of the Harry Potter series–Return to Hogwarts which airs on HBO Max on New Year’s Day–Emma Watson opens up about how she became world-famous as a child and her struggles with fame nearly caused her to quit the series.
J.K. Rowling Once Again Got Shit On Twitter For Anti-Trans Tweets
If I wrote a series of influential, best-selling books and birthed countless iconic literary characters as a result––oh, and made over 1 BILLION DOLLARS in the process––I would buy myself a couple of islands, pack up my shit and you’d probably never hear from me again (hell, if I wrote one book and it sold 12 copies, I still wouldn’t want to talk to people). But not J.K. Rowling.
J.K. has taken a break from throwing piles of money onto the fire in one of her many castles and resurfaced with a few of her trademark messy opinions on transgender people. On the plus side: she’s now probably earned some new fans in the form of those fundamentalist Christians who wanted Harry Potter banned for promoting witchcraft.
Daniel Radcliffe Says Playing Harry Potter Turned Him Into An Alcoholic
Ten years ago, Daniel Radcliffe said “Evanesco!” (it’s the vanishing spell) to alcohol forever and committed to the sober life. Big choice to make at age 20, when most people are boozing like every weekend is St. Patrick’s Day. Daniel, who does NOT have coronavirus, opened up about his issues in a BBC Radio 4 interview. He once again said that playing Harry Potter was the main reason he became an alcoholic.
J.K. Rowling Tweeted Vehement Support Of A Woman Fired Over Transphobic Tweets
J.K. Rowling, Queen of After-The-Fact Irrelevant Representation, managed to disappoint people right before we end the decade, as she sent out a tweet giving support to a woman who was in the news for being fired over transphobic tweets. Yes, Miss Magical Herself has said “JK!” to being a welcoming person who accepts others, and her polyjuice potion has worn off, revealing the dementor within. Again.
“Harry Potter” Books Have Been Banned From A Nashville School Because Of–You Guessed It–The Chance Of “Conjuring Evil”
And yes, it was a religious school, of course.
Harry Potter books have been banned from one Catholic school in Nashville, Tennessee. I think we need to use the word ‘school‘ loosely, because the books were banned on account of the fact that this fictional series of novels published by a human woman in the year 1997 is allegedly capable of “conjuring evil spirits”. If you’re referring to my depressive emotions when J.K. hits me with the feels, then yes, I agree.
Emma Watson And Tom Felton Are Not Doing It Despite What Their Shippers See
Tom Felton posted a picture of himself and Harry Potter co-star Emma Watson playing the guitar together, and The Fandom is already making plans for their wedding. I never got into Harry Potter shit so I had to do a little research to see why The Fandom would be interested in seeing Emma booed up with that skeezy-looking blond one, who I thought everybody hated. Apparently Tom, the actor who played said skeezy blond Draco Malfoy, is the opposite of his character and is actually a sensitive artist type. So it’s not surprising that Tom and Emma are friends in real life. Which obviously means they’re totally fucking.
