Retroactive Rewriting (Harry Potter) | GeekSweat 021
Manage episode 218856144 series 2444568
A new problem besieges the world of Hogwarts, as Queen of the quill on Harry Potter, JK Rowling (who created the most comprehensive magical universe of all time) is being caught up in her insistence on contradicting fan theories being canon.
While this may be entertaining and engaging, it is rather stifling our own magical experience; where some of the new information coming to light from other spectators are what she is retroactively adding to the series of stories.
How problematic do the GeekSweat gang think this is??
