Why Wizards hate JK Rowling.
A rant on how the Harry Potter books had made the world a lot tougher place for people of Magic.
(Based off a conversation I had way back when with a friend. I own nothing 'cept the thoughts in my head... JK own pretty much everything else.)
"Who is this JK Rowling and why does she know so much about us?" Has been a question asked since June of 1997. At first the people of the Wizard world though that it was a bit of luck, perhaps this woman had over heard a conversation on a train and thought that it was make a delightful story. Or so was assumed. At first the wizarding world in general had their hands full with both the end and the clean up of the war to really pay her any heed. But sooner rather the later it was became clear that it /wasn't/ a one time fluke of a book where she got almost every detail of the 'Chosen Ones' first year at Hogwarts down to what was in his holiday crackers.
Every few years she would put more and more books of incredible detail things most wizards didn't know about the real Harry Potter.
And to most of the of magical worlds' shock the story of the 'Boy-Who-Lived' became famous even in the muggle world. There were attempts to try and stop the woman from printing the book, for reason that will be addressed later, which sparked a struggle between the wizarding 'Potheads' and those who wanted to keep the Muggles as in the dark about the Wizarding world as possible. (Please note that the 'Potheads' are basically die hard fans of Harry Potter, not users of herbs you silly Muggles)
In the end it was said that JK Rowling would be monitored and that all the 'passwords' mentioned would be changed.
Which brings up the reason for my ranting.
The Wizarding world is one of secrets and mysteries that not even people who are a part of it understand completely. Now it is complicated enough without having to go and change everything, making it far more complex then it ought to be.
For instance getting into Diagon Ally is no more a simple matter of tapping bricks, nonono. Now a days you have to play a complicated game of copy cat based on the trajectory of the Sun and the Moon. Frankly it is a right ol' pain in the ass.
Also getting to Hogwarts used to be the simple matter of running head long into a brick wall. No not anymore, not since the incident where a particularly determined group of Muggles managed to slip past every single precaution we put in placed. They even managed to get /Under-the-sorting-hat/ before anyone figured out that they were not suppose to be there. Thank you very much JK Rowling, you readers have evolved to the point that with the one or two sentences in which you talk about a specific security method, they are able to form a way to go around it, such as wearing diapers incase of sudden urges for the restroom or what not. Well, because of that we had to change from the platform nine and three quarters to something else. I won't say where because those children whose brains had be turned to mush from running into the 'old' barer will surly have a go at the new one.
Still, there is much speculation as to who is 'JK Rowling' really is. Some thing that it is 'ol Harry Potter trying to counter act Rita Skeeters version. Or maybe she is some /really/ creepy stalker. And after the seventh book and Potter having a son named James Sirius Potter, people started thinking that she was a profit of sorts. I mean, /who/ in their right mind would pair Tonks son with Fleurs daughter? Yet thats happening too.
So...all fear the Profit who-publishes-information-only-after-it-would-have-been-useful-in-the-war.
Annnd that is about all I have to say on that matter.
