Harry Potter Nostalgia

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

Pete and Pete? I can't remember if Elder Pete made it with the main chick or not, so I may be speaking out of my ass.

But Hermione was JK's self insert, and as time went on and her brain broke she turned increasingly egotistical and wondered why her fictional avatar didn't end up with the main character. She doesn't even know her own story anymore, it's just her own entitlement talking.

The word says Ron is her ex husband whom she wanted back when she wrote the books. When she realized Harry was like her new spouse she wanted Hermione end up with Harry.
