things about the harry potter movies that bother the fans
- movie hermione having all of ron’s good traits
- movie ginny showing less emotion than a brick
- harry casting the lumos spell in privet drive
- peeves not being in any of the movies
- hermione’s dress in goblet of fire being pink and not blue like in the book
- ‘’calmly’‘
i love how everyone just knows what “calmly” means

the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise – what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that
