Remake Harry Potter- OK OK OK before you murder me just hear me out. HEAR. ME. OUT!

Remake Harry Potter and make it super queer. Think about it, The Harry Potter universe is about a magic society so make it so that the wizarding world doesn’t give a fuck about sex and/or gender because they can change it so easily with magic that worrying about what’s in peoples pants or how they present themselves became trivial to them centuries ago. Make Harry trans. Do it.

Now, because in this version of Harry Potter wizard society isn’t awful, magic has pretty much freed everyone from scarcity and forced labor

That’s right, I’m going to turn Harry Potter into fully automated luxury gay wizard communism

This, of course, requires a full rewrite of the story. Instead of being some boring chosen one story its just going to be shit like “Harry creates a golem with magic and has to deal with the philosophical and ethical implications of bringing life into the world” and stuff like that.

Yeah so basically Star Trek TNG but Fantasy instead of SciFi

Yes, yes, I’m a genius. I just de-libbed your wizardslop. Thank you! You don’t all have to clap at once

    Food cannot be conjured from nothing. This is the first of the five exceptions to Gamp’s Law of Elemental Transfiguration.

    Good luck freeing the money supply from the monuments to Antisemitism.

    I think you’ll find that magic in Harry Potter is a little more like AI is today. The books strongly imply that conjured or transfigured items are not permanent or are of inferior quality. Reparo can fix a broken object, but it doesn’t upgrade it. Ron is constantly getting hand-me-downs. Magic can maintain these things, but it can’t magically generate the money to buy new, better-quality items.

      So? They can wave their dick around and automate household chores, but can’t automate a farm?

      Huh?

      Ron is constantly getting hand-me-downs. Magic can maintain these things, but it can’t magically generate the money to buy new, better-quality items.

      What’s preventing the Wesley’s from automating cotton production and weaving? Or having magical sheers and knitting needles that make clothes on their own?

      What’s preventing them from yelling Alahu Akbar in a fireplace and becoming the most profitable shipping company in the world?

      The whole magic world is the equivalent of that Turk who invented the steam engine and only used it to spin kebabs.

          I assure you kebabs didn’t need the industrial revolution they just took what was good and discarded the rest. We’d still be eating kebabs regardless.

          edit: in fact some consequences of industrial society on the kebab include the creation of the electrical meat cutter that destroys the meat and is completely unnecessary if you learn how to cut kebab with a proper knife / sword, leading to new generations of kebab producer who don’t even know their own trade and craft, and of kebab consumers who don’t know what they’ve lost.
