Yeah, calling the only black dude Shacklebolt as well. The more you look the worse it gets.
Even the Irish kid gets worse in the books. Apart from making things explode, his other notable character trait is repeatedly trying to turn various drinks into whiskey.
In fucking fairness half of your personal goals as an Irish teenager in the 90s and 2000s related to acquiring alcohol and getting drunk.
True, but the first time we see him try in the books I think he's like 12.
Yes... and? (I'm Finnish.)
I mean I think that transcends racial bounds, all teens do that
As and American I'm also trying to turn various drinks into whiskey.
Distilleries also have the danger of exploding.
Oh goodness, I never thought of that.
And the bank goblins being Jewish caricatures
And now about the transfem character Sirona Ryan.
I don't think she was involved in writing Hogwarts Legacy to be fair, just put her stamp of bigot approval on it. Although whoever was writing certainly stuck to her naming conventions.
Broken clock right?
Broken clock is broken, yes
Jesus fucking Christ what? there was a character named shacklebolt???
Kingsly Shacklebolt, i believe he was the personal assistant to the prime minister. His most famous quote: "dumbledores got style"
Not the only black character in harry potter btw
"Not the only black character in harry potter btw"
Yeah everyone forgets about Hermione
Like a lot of the worst stuff in the book, it didn't make it into the movies I think.
reminds me of "spear chucker" on MASH.
That one was on purpose:
They use the racism behind his nickname to address racism:
There was a book!?
Nah... come on.... please, let that not have been a conscious thing
Mate, there's so many weird or disturbing things in the books that didn't make it into the movies.
You can't just leave us hanging like that?
Well, there's stuff like how the book insists that most house elves are happy being slaves, Dobby was the exception. And how it makes fun of Hermione for trying to free them.
If you want a full analysis, Shaun did a good one.

Is it true that the centaur from movie 1 had more lines than all the black characters in all 7 books?
And then modern fans get mad at black Snape in the TV show (if that gets to finish. My bets is it will patter out like the fantastic beasts movies)
Fans get mad about black Snape because it would instantly make Harry look like an ultra racist without rewriting half the book.
I believe you, but how so? I've not read the books.
Because half the plot of the books are Harry being suspicious of Snape based on basically just looks and a gut feeling at first and then hating him progressively as the books go on.
You can picture it in your mind "Oh Snape is very sketchy, he looks different then all the other professors. I know he is a bad person.. I am going to prove it" with the visual background that he is like the only black professor and just one of a few black wizards shown.
lmfao, there's a TV show??
Yeah, so that they can sell merch without paying royalties to the actors from the original movies, who didn't align with her bigotry.
Misread this as (Rusty) Shackleford.
