“I have some quibbles with Rowling’s world building—how does magic work, exactly?”

Scientology is super extremely not for me, but a quip (I forget whose) comes to mind on the difference between whackadoodle cults and mainstream religions: “In a cult, there’s one guy at the top who knows it’s all bullshit. In a religion, that guy is dead.”

Call me drastic but isn’t the normal response to this situation to want to chop his dick off? Or at least Carrie Underwood style personal property destruction? I’m not saying you would/should act on those feelings but as someone that has been blindsided by a long distance cheater I can speak from experience that my…

I never got that. "Bringing balance to the force"...but there's hundreds of Jedi and just two Sith, so wouldn't balance mean either more Sith or less Jedi? And as it turns out, it was two Jedi - Obi-wan and Yoda. So, balance achieved.

For a future reference, what might be some of the other times that you would recommend dressing up as a giant chicken and stalking a guy you saw on the internet?

It isn't often I would support dressing up like a giant chicken and stalking a guy you saw on the internet, but this is definitely one of those times.

Just for funsies, a quick correction: Victorian era: 1837-1901. Mary I reigned 1553-1558, in the Tudor era.
