Quidditch is a terrible game. I thought that when I read the first one. All the endeavour of 90% of the players is rendered meaningless by one guy getting hit in the teeth by the gold ball? And if they find it straight away, I guess everyone just goes home? And people want to emulate it without the one thing which makes it entertaining (the possibility of a private school toff falling sixty feet and breaking his neck)? Fuck off.

Also, the mechanism of “the snitch” in “muggle quidditch” (urgh) is ridiculous, a player from each team chasing a third runner

What an abject, thoroughly mediocre human being.

The main character in that is a detective called Cormoran Strike, which I assume is from an Alan Partridge outtake somewhere.

Was prepared to give JK’s ‘adult’ stuff a go, until I saw the name of the character and was put off: semi-interesting first name, immediately let down by clichĂ©d action detective surname. That’s how much imagination has gone into it, half a name. Gonna go out on a limb and guess that he has a troubled past and nothing left to lose? Is he a bit disorganised but always comes through in a tight spot? Does he grudgingly need a woman to help him get his stuff together?

I mean ffs, why not just call him Big McLargehuge or Max Power

Also the actual writing is both cringetacular and extremely telling

Thought his name was Cormorant until now- quite disappointed.

Cormorant Strike is a Chris Morris character.

yesterday’s Reply All was about this tweet which makes me far more angry than is in any way appropriate

Makes you think about how lucky the likes of Roald Dahl, CS Lewis were to not be in the age of social media.

Not read any JK. Just assumed a magical witching world that people love must have something good going on.

Someone do a graph of amount of time tweeting against quality of output for glinner.
