    You hate Harry Potter because of its white imperialist framework.

    I hate Harry Power because it’s mediocre dull escapism.

    we-are-not-the-same

    But really though, little-kid me tried with this series and it just sucks. At least capeshit promises fun costumes and varied powers and gimmicks.

      I remember having harry potter crammed down my throat when it first came out and feeling like I was missing something because I just couldn’t get in to it. I guess I was a smart little dude.
