Son. You opened with the statement “Every fat character is either cowardly, stupid, evil, or a combination thereof.”

...Liam Neeson is a former champion boxer. And he’s 6'4.

I mean, latter-book Dudley is a boxer, haha.

I’m aware, haha - I live in Dublin and have a name only a touch less stereotypical than “Seamus Finnegan.”

It’s not like Molly Weasley or Hagrid or Myrtle are meant to be runway models, either...and Slughorn is ultimately a good guy, as well.

Taking for granted that it has an audience that can enjoy fun, atmospheric shows without nonstop twists/shocking reveals?

Yeah, TLJ is roughly as smart and substantive and innovative as Dawn of Justice.

Yeah, the Hutts are clearly made.

Eh. His appearance works just as well as a “Big Scary Wookie Muscle” as “That guy from the comics!”

Lucas knew exactly what to do with him:

Eh. Laserface was fine when he was just the “posts comic pages in any article about comics” guy.

I honestly think people tend to be a little too quick to dismiss the extent to which days and months and years of targeted online harassment and death threats from incels who voted for Jill Stein can flip someone’s switch from good-faith misunderstandings into “Fuck you. You’re all assholes.”

And the historical pop culture take on them, haha.

Angelina Johnson, Blaise Zabini, the book version of Michael Corner...

NO! PEOPLE CAN ONLY BE ONE THING!!!  AND IF THEY ARE ANYTHING OTHER THAN WHAT WE ARE THEN THEY MUST BE PURGED!

Not to mention that out of the 26 named students in Harry’s year, 3 were black and 2 were Asian...in a book written in Edinburgh in the early 1990s, by a woman who grew up in Bristol in the 70s and 80s, and set at an elite English boarding school.

Eh. Harry could have been a Slytherin...and he specifically notices how patronizing and gross the MoM fountain is.
