She thinks the child workers whose labor she profited hugely from should have been committed from age 11 to supporting her political views for the rest of their lives, no matter how hateful those views became

it is genuinely insane to me that her while shit is these kids who felt like something wasn’t quite right their whole lives, until they turned 11 and found out what it was and were encouraged to accept and embrace it
JKR appropriated themes, characters & stories wholesale from everyone else in heroic fantasy. And then became her own version of Gilderoy Lockhart, trying to destroy others’ memories & damaging herself most of all. Bigotry is a damaged wand that shoots down the wizard, but not the magic.
Eh, if you choose to still enjoy the racist, fatphobic, homophobic, antisemitic books, yeah I think we do have the right to judge that. Rowling has always been who she is and the material is pretty clear evidence of that even if it wasn't apparent to everyone at the time.
Yes, there are many red flags. They make it difficult for me to enjoy the books, though IMO the movies are redeemed by editing, cinematography, music and cast. And I have known people to say that HP helped them through some very grim times; I don’t feel any compulsion to question that.
I'm out of the loop. I know JK "Moldy Wall" Rowling was transphobic, but didn't know until now she was publicly feuding with the Harry Potter cast. I mean what a way to ruin your legacy, all over who uses a bathroom.
There are so many better hobbies than going around and proving your feminism is fake. My boomer mom is a feminist and boy, she could probably wax poetic about the solidarity and acceptance of LGTBQ+ within the community as they were some of the staunchest allies Feminists had in the 1960s and 1970s.
Right? You ever see those videos made by parents who had their kids completely cut contact and decide their children are the worst people ever? It has those vibes.
yeeeeeesss omg
it's so annoying
like, if your kids went no contact with you there certainly IS a good reason (and that means that mom is in the wrong). omg. so annoying
What if they had turned out conservative (so sorry, I mean "gender critical") and Rowling had been in favor of trans rights? Would they still have an obligation to agree with her forever?
They wouldn't have that obligation either way, but in your hypothetical scenario, they'd be the ones who turned out massive asshats, and criticism thereof would not be unwarranted.
Theoretically, it means they reject the concept that gender exists and the only difference between men and women is plumbing. Theoretically, this is emancipatory, since it means nobody has to submit to sex stereotypes.
In practice, it means they wholeheartedly align with Matt Walsh senpai.
I was aiming that hypothetical question at Rowling, who I stopped respecting around the time she had wizards pooping on the spot and it only got worse from there.
She is referring to the Harry Potter trio. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. They all have come out in support of trans rights. Rowling has a particular hatred of Daniel and Emma in particular
Yes it’s both. She’s making a bad joke everybody will groan at because she sucks at using the internet, because she’s a transphobic out of touch billionaire boomer
They've also been incredibly diplomatic in making clear they don't agree with her views without trying to take down the franchise. It's a very specific can't handle any criticism
It's in part Chris Columbus. Early in his career he helped launch Macaulay Culkin, and his family turned out to be an absolute terror (that culkin turned out OK is incredible). He had a no stage parent rule and filtered for kids who were... well kids not actors /1
And even he wasn’t okay for a little while- it’s been a hot minute, but when he first hit adulthood he had a rough patch that he then course corrected from.
I didn’t know any of this about Chris Columbus, thanks for sharing. Also, did you see Mac on Celebrity Jeopardy a few weeks ago? He is an absolute delight, it was nice to see considering his childhood.
If you watch the early movies a lot of the cuts are kind of short on part because he couldn't hold their attention for that long 🤣 he tried as best as he could to filter for kids from healthy family units who were excited to do it.
(I think Daniel has been the clearest about the toll fame itself had on him, and I'm not trying to take anything away from the actors and their families just pointing out that they made a concerted effort to structure things so the kids could survive it)
There you go. I knew there must be some work behind the scenes to accomplish this. It's good that he was such a good person to work with behind the scenes because I think as a filmmaker his vision is really meh
It's interesting how many men use advocacy for trans rights to be old fashioned misogynists. Asking why does JKR care is a "Sit down little woman and don't worry yourself about things that affect you as a woman". Men often minimize or dismiss the interests of women about women's interests.
No, that's not correct. If your supposition was true, they'd act like that to all women. What's actually happening is that they call out women who try to decide which other women deserve their help and support. Framing it the way you did is disingenuous
Which is just another way in which men socially control what is and isn't acceptable female thought and behaviour. Telling women that men who commit sexual assault and now say they are TW should not be in female jails is hardly hurting women. But I guess men know best.
If your worry is on jail rape... Most jail rapes aren't commited by trans women. Shouldn't we make sure NO prisonner or prison's employee gets to rape anyone ? Because if nobody could rape in jail, then it wouldn't matter at all where trans women are imprisonned.
I hardly can imagine being a billionaire at all because there's so much I could do to help people with money, I wouldn't be able to hoard it like a dragon
Of course / as well but it's a fact that she is a billionaire whether we would hoard that much or not and being in such a situation and using your money and platform to fuck over trans people is completely fucked independent of her hoarding status
She even used to be good at that- she talked about staying in the UK and being proud of how much tax she could pay. She didn’t move her money offshore like many rich people there. She had so, so much goodwill that she set on fire to be a bigot.
exactly! I'm not naive, I know she's probably been at least problematic for ages - that level of nastiness doesn't come out of nowhere. But something about her becoming obscenely wealthy really let it all loose.
I think it’s more it made people think her opinions had weight and were worthy of being heard, respected, and broadcast. And she really, really ate up that attention.
There’s also a very real effect of large amounts of money that socially isolate you. You can’t relate to ordinary people any more so you don’t mix with people who hold rational opinions any more.
She's been problematic in the way any other neoliberal billionaire is, and has ignorantly engaged in unmalicious bigotry for as long as she's been famous, but the thing is that nastiness has been present in her entire worldview even divorced from politics since the beginning.
Shaun on YouTube has a great video going over the nitty gritty details if you haven't read Harry Potter or don't remember it, but her writing has always been absolutely rife with mean-spirited pettiness and a really gross and constant fatphobic streak that might be more glaring than her transphobia.
And a general belief that if the "good guys" do something it's okay even if it's unspeakably evil coming from bad guys. Like bullying, or kidnapping, or fucking SLAVERY.
The entire millennial generation put hogwarts house in bio and held her up as the great anti racist and anti sexist icon of resistance against Trump in 2016
But also I read the things she said about poor people well before her TERF face reveal and like. Actual super villainy
That’s the thing; her positive views on tax prior to this suggest that billionaire money is almost as bad for the billionaire as it is for society to have them around.
Surely, parents have a responsibility to not let their kids be the actors in her show, leaving them to a life time of trolling from a psychopath billionaire
Good on them for being infinitely better humans than her!!! For someone who created a world of magic, she makes no damn sense. JK may have billions in the bank, but her soul’s bankrupt.
I used the words “child laborers” to describe accurately the nature of the relationship between 11-year old children working on a for-profit enterprise for a wage and the billionaire producer who profits from their labor. Hope this helps!
(I thought physically would cover that, but yeah. It's never happened, even once. Nope. Totally a safe, comfortable world completely free of any problematic shit)
“just ignore it and it’ll go away” doesn’t work when the subject is a billionaire author actively donating to fascist political parties with the money she makes off her books from people who are honestly mostly unaware of her political views.
who are you referring to specifically? i’m not as up to date with Brazilian politics as i am with other states so i’m sure it can’t be the guy i’m thinking of
It's like the "Now wash your hands" sign. In an ideal world it wouldn't be needed, but in the meantime these little reminders help stop shit from spreading.
She makes money from interactions on SM, so if amplifying it sends people to her SM just to dunk on her, she profits. Or maybe it reaches someone who finds out they agree with her, in which case you just helped her.
Personally, I think both the spotlight and ignore arguments make good points, but she could profit from it. That is a risk. It can be mitigated a bit, but never fully.
It depends on context, too. If even bad press is good press for the troll, that's probably a good reason to avoid amplifying.
can you explain the revenue stream that provides income to JKR from someone sharing a screenshot of her twitter on bluesky because I'm very sceptical that there is one
In my country, a man who was insignificant became PRESIDENT OF THE COUNTRY because of his absurd statements. They were so shocking that everyone went viral about what he said. He became president and validated for people like him that they could be horrible like him.
No. My concern is making a court jester famous and the court jester becoming king.
In my country, an idiot became famous for his absurd statements that went viral and he became president and now we have to live with this idiot making our lives hell, even though he is no longer president.
you make a fair point, and it's always a little gross seeing tweets after deliberately moving over to blusky. I'll have a think on this, thanks for sharing
If she is already famous and has gained more support and money from these people over the years, imagine if the same thing happens to people who are not famous.
It's not just about making HER famous, but also other people like her.
this type of stuff worked in the monoculture but we are too fragmented now. if left unchecked her audience grows with or without us, at least this way if people see us shitting on her FIRST then maybe their mind is open before the well is poisoned
Unfortunately they are still building new Harry Potter theme parks and rides. But I hear the kids aren’t reading them as much; I think we will see a quick decline on their popularity. I read them to my daughter a few years back and I found them incredibly boring.
All that money and agency and this is what she chooses to do. I can only presume something reasonatingly horrific happened to her when she was a child - a child like originally the actor she's punching down upon - and never got help.
I feel terribly sorry for her, and also disgusted.
A dichotomy.
i mean she's basically voldemort level evil at this point -- sorry i don't speak her stupid shitty HP language but Vadgelemort is the worst villain right?
God she is absolutely the worst, the worst kind of rich person, the worst kind of fake artist
I agree. Good thing we can use that word on here. I swear to god, I only recently have been able to call people that on Facebook before I left that hellsite.
I’m also glad it can be used here. In any other country ‘cunt’ is such a versatile word, it can mean a positive or a negative and used on any person, but Americans decided to ruin it for themselves and now have decided that it should be ruined for others too.
FFS
And to think of all the grovelling those kids did. Emma Watson would always praise her to high heaven in every interview. This lady needs professional help.
That's the thing with toxic narcissists: You can be totally obedient to them, you can borderline worship them... but say one wrong thing & they will begrudge you for a long time, if not for the rest of their life.
honestly the racism was just so virulent and anachronistic (how she writes irish characters for example) that it came off as "wacky" to modern audiences
Living with paraplegia means daily challenges. I'm raising funds for an enclosed mobility scooter to boost my independence and improve my quality of life. Every donation truly matters. Your support means the world to me. More details on my GoFundMe. Donating or sharing is great. https://gofund.me/0af928df
They're the reason her mid franchise was remembered so fondly and made as much money as it did. She had such high praises for them before, even years after the movies wrapped up. She only started on this when they became their own people. Vile, hateful, old hag.
That reminds me of how the arch hag for D&D has in the statblock that it can't die unless its within 30 feet of its anathema (knocking it to 0 hp just banishes it). I think we all know what Rowling's anathema would be if she were a hag.
She was always a shit writer, but the movies were charming, full of great British actors, and she managed to completely poison them. It's really something to ruin THOSE actors' work.
Honestly, she poisoned those films from jump -- there were elements of them that were well done, but they suffered horribly from Overinvolved Author Syndrome: too long, poorly paced, too many unnecessary details. They aren't movies; they're live-action illustrations.
This is what's wrong w/ dems. The US is currently being SOLD TO RUSSIA, DEPORTATIONS that violate Fed law, food is being taken away from HUNGRY KIDS, VOA was just shut down and you are blabbering ON AND ON AND ON about some petty conflict between celebs WHO CARES????
lmao it isn't petty. joanne is actively fucking over trans people in her country by backing hate groups, and tbh as a trans person seeing this post sucks from a she sucks pov but also is cool knowing that those three support us enough that she hates it. many things can be important at once.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, the actors of the main Harry Potter trio who have all politely disagreed with Rowling's bigoted views on transgender people.
Which is a baffling thing to say, because none of them actually said anything bad about her. She just believes they should grovel for not sharing her hatred.
Buddy, she thinks my life is a fetish and that I should go to prison with men. You can shit the fuck about about your pathetic little pity party about how mean it is it call a bigot a bigot
That's not true. She doesn't think transwomen with gender dysphoria are a fetish, even though some men claim to be TW but are autogynephilics. And she doesn't propose putting you in men's jails, just not putting you in female jails. So a separate estate.
It's 2025, not 2022. You can't pretend she's just innocently asking questions or pushing against excesses anymore. She spends all day every day harassing trans women online about their looks, genitals, and identity. Anyone can see it. Spare us this stupid, gaslighting bullshit
You're making things up. She is saying no to transwomen in certain female spaces for logical and justifiable reasons. She's not seeking to put TW in danger. That a woman says "NO" seems to be your objection.
If that's her concern, why does she spend all day every day harassing the looks, genitals, and identity of trans women? Again, anyone can see her tweets. and she's constantly calling trans women ugly men and sending a horde of psychos their way. Fuck off
Separate female spaces from men have worked well. We separate children from adults in many places. So how about skipping slogans and dealing with facts?
Gay men want spaces separate from straights. Lesbians want spaces separate from others. Some black or indigenous people want spaces separate other races.
And of course many replies to the OP are filled with misogynist hate for Rowling as a woman, proving her point many men use trans rights arguments as a progressive shielf to express misogyny
Not to defend her politics but to me this sounds like she can’t enjoy their movies because she will always see them as their characters, thereby ruining the other movies. It’s seems a lighthearted joke and not a judgement on their politics?
She engages approvingly with commenters who reply to these kinds of posts with disparaging comments about the three leads. “They’re so ungrateful,” “They’d be nothing without you,” etc
She’s such a disappointment. So many LGBTQIA+ kids related to those books and movies, finding freedom & acceptance in the HP fandom, plus a home in the world of HP fanfiction. As someone who was one of those kids, it’s been painful to watch. I know the books have issues too, but I miss the HP world.
How do you build a world that imagines love as one of the most powerful magics, that promotes inclusiveness and friendship, and then do nothing but endorse hate and toxicity in your own life.
Like being a kid and finding out Santa is real but also racist and hates kids.
I mean, it's also a world where kids are sorted based on "character" at the age of 10, where a dull nobody gets preferential treatment from teachers bc he's a sportsball star, & where all the women are defined by their relationships to men.
I don’t think it indicates a failure to read if a tween, even an LGBTQIA+ tween, in the 90s didn’t recognize potential terf content in a MG fantasy novel. The term wasn’t coined for another decade. So kids mostly just accepted that things were unfairly gendered. Many trans kids loved HP & were hurt.
And where there's a race of beings who like being enslaved and humans are at the top of a hierarchy over not just normal people but also other magical creatures (that statue at the Ministry). I assumed resolution of the series would involve overthrowing those systems, and lol, nope.
I was showing my 7yo the 1977 Hobbit cartoon for the first time last night, & I was struck by the moment that Bard & the other Laketowners hailed Thorin. Races weren't just largely co-equal (w exceptions ofc), but humans showed deference to dwarves. JKR couldn't even treat Hagrid w respect!
And the "best principal of all time" doesn't do shit against bullying, not even to make sure magic isn't involved (in real life, bullies can't really use carpentry tools from class to hurt their victims, so I don't buy that there is no magic thing to watch over that). And bullying was a thing even
That was also disappointing. I think this is in great part why the HP fanfiction community thrived. Readers saw potential or issues or opportunities then used them to create beautiful & meaningful stories set in that world.
100 percent agree, but I wasn’t suggesting the books were without any of these flaws.
Simply pointing out that if you initially read these books as a young person and they meant something to you, it sucks to find out the source is a toxic asshat who continues to spew hate.
For sure. & I've spent a large portion of my adult life grappling w the Q of whether or not ppl whose worldview is rooted in hate can truly experience/express love. But even the love in these books is warped: it's love as object, not action. It's not chosen. Idk, I'm just ranting & riffing now, lol.
I guess I’m lamenting being older and knowing there are problems both in the books and without. Admittedly I’m not really saying much new here so I’m ranting a bit too! 😂
The author trying to push a new take on her books while posting this hateful nonsense is just 🤣
Definitely problematic content. I was disappointed in the last book, too. House Elves not free, James Potter never redeemed, Hermione ends up with RON… Fanfiction authors wrote so many better endings and epilogues.
Those kids are the only reason she even has the success she does. without those three, and the thousands of other artists that came together to bring those films to life, she would have faded into obscurity within a month of the last book coming out.
Damn what a freak, any normal person would be proud to see the child actors of their work being movie stars. Her life could have been so comfortable if she hadn't revealed herself as an absolute cunt.
the whole reason she’s never published under a feminine name is because she loathes womanhood and considers it an albatross she had to overcome. Seeing happy trans women is like spit in her face
While as a trans man I absolutely don't claim people like her, there do seem to be rather a lot of them who act like they're just bitter they don't have the stones to transition and live authentically rather than shackled to their AGAB.
“Children taken away every day by bland buses to be force fed mostly useless facts and made to compete against each other for the better places in a hierarchy”
Well school
Transphobes can't stand to see young people show independence from a quasi-parental figure because transphobia and conservatism view parents as the owners of their children.
And trans activists hate a witty woman, particularly one who doesn’t accept that women should automatically subordinate their rights and interests to the wants of some blokes.
So there’s that.
Thinking that traumatised female victims of SA/rape should be able to request a female counsellor without being told they need to accept a male or be re-educated out of their bigotry seems pretty baseline ethical respect if those humans’ rights. You obviously disagree.
Eh? I’m the one saying that women have rights and interests not automatically to be subordinated to the wants of men who claim to ”feel like a woman”. Not sure how you got yourself so desperately confused about that?
Please do some research on, say, the recent history of the Edinburgh Rape Crisis Centre and why JKR had to fund a separate service. (Of course if BlueSky is your primary source of intelligence, then you’re probably blissfully ignorant about such appalling matters).
Stop deflecting. Biology is real. Tell me something I don't know, I'm a woman in a male dominant trade. We're talking about transphobia and terfs of which JK is both. She is not a hero
A woman who uses her own resources to provide a women-only crisis centre for women who only want to deal with women is a bigot, but a bloke who mendaciously pretends to be a woman in order to take a female-only job dealing intimately with traumatised women is no doubt a bold, inspiring hero?
🤡
Well, reality doesn’t change simply because misogynistic men discovered a way they could openly express their hatred of women AND still pat themselves in the back for being “progressive”. So reality does bear repeating.
Cheers now👍
"A bunch of young people who worked with me over a decade ago politely disagreed with my political views and I'm still obsessively bitter about it while they ignore me and move on with their lives" is not "wit."
Sounds like this really is why she's remaking it all into a series, she now can't bear to watch the original movies because she hates seeing these three actors in them so much
it's so funny that she's singling them out too, it's like she's underplaying her misery. ma'am, the mould has eaten so much of your brain that a cis actress with a slightly stronger jaw would ruin a movie for you.
It’s wild that fans of the “keep fighting to protect oppressed people in the face of evil even when the adults around you tell you you’re wrong” books keep fighting to protect oppressed people in the face of evil
It’s kind of sad but funny that her own fictional characters hate her now. Like if you painted a portrait and the person came to life and started talking shit about you.
It makes me happy that I didn’t immediately think of Radcliffe cause Emma Watson is also super progressive and I couldn’t immediately remember which of them she hates more
It's all three of them, thus three guesses, right? Like I don't know anything about how progressive Ron's actor is but I thought all of them had distanced themselves from her
I was being ironic. Over at Twit'sLand she clearly removes any comments that castigate her ugly Bigot azz. Over "There" the only comments on her Posts are all from Bigot Azzholes who are exactly like her.
I hate how the media posit it as a feud when the actors are asked what they think of her they're like, 'we don't think of her' or they feel sorry for her
it's been *years* since any of them directly commented on her! she makes it sound like it's some kind of ongoing two-sided battle, but it's literally just her unable to let go of the mildest "yeah, I don't think what she said is right"-type statements back in like 2020.
Bigotry has similar qualities to narcissism. Believing strangers should abide by your identity is narcissistic. Feeling she has ownership over these three is also narcissistic.
In terms of speaking influence, usually gets a coward to do it for her. Not like Bezos of the guys in the USA who just write their own laws to be a pos
Saying the three people who brought your story to life and honestly made it better because you can't really write for shit makes those movies worse is a move to be sure
the Atlantic has run like a thousand articles calling people who think it’s okay for child workers to grow up to hold political opinions that diverge from those of the boss they had as a child “illiberal” proponents of “cancel culture”
I know this isn't what you meant but also like she wasn't even their boss, she was some lady who wrote some okay books that some other people made a movie out of
even that’s a stretch, there is evidence of plagiarism of any of the (early!) ideas that were any good. ever wonder why the series devolves so quick after disposing with the initial story?
This! She doesn’t even get an exec credit let alone scripting credits until the later films. It has somehow become myth that she had an important voice in casting, was a major editorial voice through filming etc.
But anyone who knows anything about the film industry will tell you Hollywood does not risk multimillion dollar films on the views of people who have no experience in the industry whatsoever.
I know this has all been hashed out a thousand times but sometimes it just really hits me that the major project of the establishment for the past 15 years has been to ridicule, stigmatize and denounce people who work to identify and counter bigotry
Oh just the actors mainly responsible for her reaching billionaire status nbd. Someone cast insufferable ignoramus on her and it’s effects are permanent
I was wondering the other day if she’s had anything to say about the numerous anti-trans bills sweeping our country & the danger it’s putting millions of Americans in. Of course she hasn’t. Of course she’s only digging in deeper. What a horrible horrible person.
Honestly, I'm glad she's apparently kept mum on the subject; I don't think anything she'd have to say about our anti-trans laws at this point would be constructive or helpful.
"I clothed, fed, and put a roof over your head. How dare you defy/disagree me!"
Of course, that also usually ended in a smack up side the head, but the constant belittling and snide comments would continue. Then he'd demand an apology.
Yeah WTAF is wrong with these people? I've known a couple friends that came into a few _million_ and they retired immediately to surf Rosarita in the summer and ski Whistler in the winter or whatever, and they never stop grinning. These cunts have billions and always look like the just smelled poo.
Hoarding is a pathology. Hoarding money is no different than hoarding canned soup or old magazines or ziplock bags of fingernail clippings. It's a mental illness.
But hey, it's America, so we've elevated it to the same level as religion. A higher level, actually 🤔
I'm aware Rowling isn't American. Musk and Thiel are South African. My point wasn't specific to nationality or national origin. It was that in America, for many if not most, the only guiding star is an accumulation of obscene wealth. It's all that matters. Which is odd, for a 'Christian' country.
I'll never understand why boomers and genx think people decades younger than them have anything in common with their out of touch, near-or-retired and haven't raised a child in 30 years politics. So out of touch.
Like just, lady, you're a fucking billionaire, you can just live in your castle making tons of money off the residuals and licensing fees of your book series...and instead you're choosing to just advertise what a miserable person you are?

I love that Dan, Emma and Ruppert turned out good people, despite her hateful influence.
What does that mean?
In practice, it means they wholeheartedly align with Matt Walsh senpai.
In the timeline where it's the other way around: Fuck the transphobes
Oh wait you're conservative and you've never actually interacted with art or Harry Potter before have you
Funny, how that's *exactly* how anti trans parents feel about their trans children...
She's referring to the fact that they're not transphobic
https://bsky.app/profile/tim71351.bsky.social/post/3lkp54ocfts2a she's said out loud that she's gonna carry a blood vendetta over this
It also helps that they had each other.
Hadn't helped that the YouTube era has seen more parents treat their children as meal tickets.
So, definitely narcissism.
Not a shock she doesn’t see other people as people
It's noteworthy that this was a quote tweet.
Nobody actually asked her this question, she went out and found the question and answered it. But it was "irresistible." Fuck you, lady.

Let her fall into the pit of oblivion once and for all. That's what she wants: attention!
The problem with giving a stage to idiots is that you want to give a stage to all idiots so that they become famous for their idiocy.
She makes money from interactions on SM, so if amplifying it sends people to her SM just to dunk on her, she profits. Or maybe it reaches someone who finds out they agree with her, in which case you just helped her.
It depends on context, too. If even bad press is good press for the troll, that's probably a good reason to avoid amplifying.
Her 💩 mentality will be much more welcome than before, especially with all this anti-trans situation that the US has been going through.
personally, I'm in favour of regular PSAs that some people remain unable to control their impulse toward cruelty. OP's done a good thing.
In my country, an idiot became famous for his absurd statements that went viral and he became president and now we have to live with this idiot making our lives hell, even though he is no longer president.
Transphobes are starting to consume more people who think like them, especially if they become well-known.
It's not just about making HER famous, but also other people like her.
I feel terribly sorry for her, and also disgusted.
A dichotomy.
God she is absolutely the worst, the worst kind of rich person, the worst kind of fake artist
JK Rowling is a bigot cunt
And to think of all the grovelling those kids did. Emma Watson would always praise her to high heaven in every interview. This lady needs professional help.
Somehow not surprised 😒
Second, you have four houses and don't even introduce a character for one of them until the fifth book.
Bullies gonna bully.
How do you build a world that imagines love as one of the most powerful magics, that promotes inclusiveness and friendship, and then do nothing but endorse hate and toxicity in your own life.
