silversolitaireSo, now, ladies and germs, here they are, the most dreaded... *drum roll* musings on Harry Potter!!!!!
What I really like about Harry Potter is the natural way different types of people are included in the book. No difference is made regarding skin color, nationality, social status and so on. There is prejudice, however, and it makes sense in a way, for the wizarding world. Like the distinction between pure-bloods and mudbloods, made by narrow minded wizards.
But still, it gives me hope. If there is an unbiased society in the wizarding world, so free of hostility in the common sense, maybe they have liberal views about homosexuality as well. When I think about it, completely free from the slash-writing point of view, I can see almost any type of relationship between the characters, straight or gay. That's marvelous to me. And it gives me the hope that J.K. might, as the books mature, include at least one gay character as well. With no issues or anything. Just gay and there, like others in her books are black, poor, overweight, pale, skinny and so on without any kind of judgement. I'd really love that...
