Looks like the Preview page is no longer available 😟 I wasn't fully finished with it yet and liked it so much that I'm now sad I have to wait and read the preview 😂 problems....

I'd like to know if these people own smart phones which strip the world of natural resources and are reportedly made using child Labour… I’d like to know if all of them boycott the new Charlie and the chocolate factory film because the creator was actually a racist… I’d like to know if they avoid all plastic, and if they source all of their clothing ethically to ensure that women aren’t being exploited in their making… or is JK Rowling a special case because she’s a woman who was known for being wholesome?

I don’t know where I fully stand on the debate tbh, but I do know that the actions of the trans rights activists definitely put me off learning more about their cause.

Women have been suppressed for years through our culture. The idea that a woman asks a question about her safety and then is shouted down and called a terf or transphobic is wild to me…

You forgot to add in the Air BnB that this mob love but forget this takes properties out of the local rental market. Had a conversation with one of the woke mob in my work - she's been traipsing over Europe at various music festivals. Got a bit of shock when she read about the stats in Lisbon of Air B&Bs. She's decided to be more aware for future travel.

JKR is persona non grata to this mob. And I'm sure she's devastated. I remind them every so often that the reason Joanne isn't a billionaire is because she's given away so much money.
 
Bahahaha, it’s just occurred to me I am actually surprised TRA’s haven’t tried cancelling Kings Cross, or getting them to apologise or remove reference to 3/4. I thought of it when reading the above about strikes and thinking “I wonder if rabid JKR haters would refuse to be diverted to that station and sulk, shivering, in an empty train station in the north

There was loads going on at Kings Cross for the Hogwarts return day. How the TRAs think that they can cancel JKR just shows the depths of their delusions.

It was fine moments when the sales figures for Hogwarts Legacy kept rolling in in increase and eventually broke records. I haven’t played it or even own a console to play it on but it was clearly popular despite the much planned attempted boycott and cancelling 😂 Like I said before, they’ll be playing it, whether they admit it to their mates or not, maybe crying while they create their character, but they’re game addicted, so...

Please - according to them, isn't the station name itself the first offense? Shouldn't it really be Queer's Cross?

If we’re going to be pedantic (and we should, if we’re roleplaying as them) isn’t the word “cross” rooted in British colonial times and therefore outdated and should be replaced? The opposite of cross is mellow, or mild, or happy or…

I've never been a gamer but I've got Hogwarts Legacy and I love it.

I've never played games on a PlayStation before so I keep having to get my daughter to teach me how to do the tricky bits 😄 but it's really enjoyable. The graphics are amazing for the interiors of Hogwarts, Hogsmead and the surrounding area. It's really fun pretending to be a student at Hogwarts attending classes and doing quests.

I wouldn't recommend to anyone who doesn't like spiders though, as there are loads of acromantula to kill. I look forward to spending time at Hogwarts now which I know sounds ridiculous for a woman of my age 😁
 
Love JK Rowling. The way the HP fans and some of the actors have rounded on her is despicable. Never liked that haughty little tit Emma Watson, always had the entitled air about her. I fully stand by JK’s comments on gender and women as she is absolutely right. The Robert Galbraith Strike books are also absolutely brilliant.

Ooohhhh, we’re into ‘The Running Grave’ release month - so excited!!!! 🥳🥳🥳

I am insanely excited about this. I think the premise of this book is incredibly exciting, I might be more excited about this than any previous Strike.

I guess the days of queuing up at midnight at the book shop are over are they? I did that for Deathly Hallows and I'd gladly do it for this!!

For the spider averse, there is an arachnophobia mode in the game settings which will turn them into something less spidery :)
