A balm for outsiders and misfits everywhere, and a reminder never to hide your magic. Though very different, the movies stand alone from the books as a more crisp, cinematic retelling of a lovably eccentric and detailed series. A true modern-day Odyssey, the story of Harry Potter is beyond critique.

And Just Like That
A much-needed, more diverse update to a beloved franchise. Golden intentions, but untrue to the characters in a way that makes the storylines ring hollow. This revival needs to lean into its stars’ long-developed personalities and sense of motivation in order to make their mid-life transformations feel satisfying.

On The Accessibility of US Political Systems & A Crisis of Legitimacy
California prides itself on 'expanding the voting franchise' by delivering a ballot to each doorstep, but a single vote does not even guarantee lobby entry into a private club where the membership access and dues stay unchanged. Moreover, mail-in ballots are fake paper thin luxuries when you lack the stable home, living wage, and benefits (medical, dental, and retirement) needed for a future. While California postures as a sanctuary for voting rights under the Voter’s Choice Act (VCA), an incumbent, self reinforcing status quo undermines free and fair elections in a lot of places - which I suspect has been the case for many generations but observe it with increasing clarity. Most folks do not understand this status quo for their relative class at birth - so they vote along party lines according to what is popular which means exposed most.

I have seen the Harry Potter movies but I really liked the books better. I am one of those people who thinks that the books are more detailed for at times I believe the movies leave things out or change scenes.
Nice ❤️✨ I’ve been thinking over the past few days about these movies and that I should watch them. I’ve never seen them before
