she is talking about me in general
, but not me specifically -- I have never "come up" to her to "argue" about Quidditch. I did once "lunge" at her, to "taste her hair," but she did not complain about that, and we've actually laughed about it at some length since then. That said, whatever her rationale might be, it's completely wrong; Quidditch is completely insane. Proposed fixes and explanations for the curious rules (Rowling has late stage syphilis?) will deface the community muggle boards with alarming regularity; by myself alone, if it comes down to it.
#1: Witchcraft
Back when the first few
Harry Potter books were released, there were many people who were concerned whether it was appropriate to be promoting dark magic in books that were aimed at children.
"Stay still you little shits."
This kind of moral outrage might seem a bit quaint now, in a world where people are awarded their own television shows after leaking sex tapes, but at the time, some people took it very seriously. And we're about to prove them right. Whether it gets taken over by actual Satanists, or just 4chan kids pretending to be Satanists, whatever community features are available on Pottermore will be immediately corrupted to draw pentagrams, hexagrams and sexagrams. Pictures of slaughtered animals texture mapped to robes? You bet. Druidic slurs about Rowling's heritage? Good golly, yes. (Again by me, if no one else. Have to make use of that Druidism minor any time I get a chance.) Faustian bargains with gullible eight-year-olds? This will definitely happen, and the soulless children who result will terrify parents, educators and exorcists for years to come.
"Honey, do you feel anything when you hug Andrew? I'm getting nothing here. It's like he's less of a person."
