@caroline_easom: Out of the top 100 characters in Harry Potter based on the number of mentions throughout the series, only 28 of those characters are women. Join me as I go through The Top 28 Female Characters in Harry Potter one by one, examining their contributions to the story and J.K. Rowling's choices as an author. I find J.K. Rowling's transphobic views and love of cyberbullying to be disgusting, but that's not why I think she hates women. The proof of her internalized misogyny is woven throughout the Harry Potter series and I've complied it in this video for your viewing pleasure. #jkrowling #harrypotter #list #ranking #videoessay #rant #rants #opinion
I didn’t understand why divination was like “not believable” lol like… y’all living in a magic world???

I remember the conclusion to the SPEW arc sitting so uneasy with my as a young teen, like it was so frustrating how often Hermione was put down for her activism only for it to be “haha silly child”

I remember reading about Tonks and Lupin getting together as a kid/teen and being so baffled, it felt so out of nowhere to me

I remember being so excited that a girl was in the triwizard tournament and when she did so poorly and I felt defeated.

YES the house elf stuff genuinely messed with my head. I couldn’t make sense of how she so confidently wrote them to be that way.

I don’t understand why Rita skeeter couldn’t just fix her teeth with magic like hermione did in the later books. Why wouldn’t every magic person do spells to fix all their cosmetic flaws?

In the divination being feminine and not taken seriously, me and my partner talked last night about how love potions are just a legal item sold (literally in joke shops)

nicolable :
red nails couldve been SUCH a good reflection of the blood on skeeters hands and even foreshadowing her convincing the public voldemort wasnt back if it werent so obviously just JKR's sexism 🙄

Iris :
it's also so WEIRD that Rowling included systemic oppression of the house elves like being banned from wand use, but STILL the moral is supposed to be that trying to fight the system for them is wrong

Tonks was a shock bc I was hoping we would get SOME nonbinary representation (considering her ability would be such an opportunity to do something androgynous or fluid) and the ball is dropped so hard

Tonks: really cool ability - but still based on looks. Like the coolest ability for a women would be to be able to change your hair on a whim.

Whim :
i thought red nails of rita skeeter are connected to her keeping an appearance, she cares about her hairdo etc, puts effort into that an JKR hates women who like "girly" things like makeup

The only credit I can give her with Fleur is how she told everyone off after Bill got hurt. But, ya know, broke clock spotting.

Tree man :
Also doesn't Tonks literally stop changing her appearance so much and has brownish hair once she gets with lupin? It's very much giving "you just haven't met the right man yet"

alexia 💞 :
the fact that after tonks 'falls in love' with lupin her patronus form changes to a wolf?? like her personality is now just i love lupin 😍😍??? the same as lily's being a doe to match james' stag??

These have been excellent deconstructions. I was OBSESSED with HP as a queer kid, escapism and all. It’s embarrassing how much bad I overlooked in the series because I wanted the good to be true 😅

I wonder if Tonks was a bad analogy for Autism or ADHD she always walks into things and has a kinda childish power that seems unique and quirky

they were SO mean to fleur. Acting like she wasn’t talented at all, and just vapid and stupid but pretty- she was literally smart enough to go through the entire triwizard tournament and yet…

Heather📖 :
can't remember if it was in the books but when taking the polyjuice potion, Fleur's first reaction "I'm hideous" not that they're about to risk their lives but she must be perceived as attractive...

Tonks can also be read and being “tamed” by Lupin. She tones down her wild side and settles down to be a mother.

House elves could genuinely be an interesting plot if it was handled with any nuance at all. Having them struggle to find balance between a need to serve but also overcoming generations of
