Pictured: Millennials talking about the silly wizard power fantasy like it's Shakespeare. Harry Potter truly is to Generation Y as Star Wars was to Generation X. It reminds them of a "better time" when they could remain ignorant of all the horrible things happening in the world (paid for by their tax money).

All of those are bots. I cannot handle the idea that this is actually real people bragging about how they are the Special Ones capable of experiencing this magical thing call "Empathy" for characters in a story, like it is an entirely unique concept that only Harry Potter fans know about.

These people really need to not just read another book, but speak to another human being who doesn't share 99% of their interests.

They need to read Trans Wizard Harriet Porber and the Bad Boy Parasaurolophus

I wouldn't be surprised if they were bots trying to drum up hype because as far as I heard even people who like Harry Potter don't like the look of the remake

Yeah, I have one lib friend who is really into Harry Potter, and we hung out today and they didn't mention the remake at all, so they probably aren't interested in it whatsoever.

They also kind of feel like bots because the conversation is just so inhuman, it doesn't feel like they're sharing an experience, just reiterating the same keywords as each other.
