This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I only like the first three Harry Potter books, when Scabbers goes, so does the book having any credibility it seems.
People don't like Harry Potter for the story, so when it tries too be serious it falls apart. The part of Harry Potter people enjoy is the whimsy of the wizarding world, that's it.
Same with Fantastic Beasts, first one was just a whimsical adventure of Newt, second one tried to be serious and was a steaming pile of ๐ฉ
I only saw the first and it already made me wonder "How do they tell which animals are magical and should be hidden from the muggles?", like how would muggles knowing about the blast-ended skrewts or that platipus-like think lead them to know about the wizarding world?
Eh, the first one also tried to have a serious subplot, and that subplot also sucked enough ass to make the climax of the film flop.
