H - Harry Potter (w/ Chantal Pallot)

No matter what side of the fence you sit on, it's impossible to argue the successes of the Harry Potter franchise. J.K. Rowling's young adult series chronicles a young wizard's life from the early days of abuse, being kidnapped, gosh everyone's trying to kill a child, all the way up to Normandy but with fairy lights and everything has a dark blue filter. It has lead to the franchise being seen as a cultural phenomenon, with cosplay, fan art/fiction, games, tributes and anything else you can think of dedicated to it. My personal favourite part is having everything you judged in accordance with whether or not you spirit animal is a conniving snake, an elegant bird, a proud lion, or a badger. Man people really don't give a shit about Hufflepuff do they? As you can tell, I am not a big fan of the Potter. But Madame Lady Chantal is and tries her very best to lure me to the ways of Harry Potter as we discuss Harry Potter's place in British representation, the character development of Ron Weasley and Snape, the comparisons between the books and the movies, the comparisons between the franchise and the Nazis, and more!
