No, she’s saying Harry is ugly.
The author has literally outlined that a female would feel this way in a male body and yet she still cannot comprehend the idea of a trangender person, a severe lack of skill ig.
“JK Rowling uses the pseudonym ‘Robert Galbraith’ when writing her Cormoran Strike series…………………………………………………………………which is a mans name.”
Stewart Lee
That bra and choker do not go together. From a fashion POV he was very right.
She says this because she’s English now, not because she’s a boy now
that epic reddit moment
Nah she just thinks Harry looks like a fucking nerd with his glasses.
Tbh if I was in that position I’d probably say the same thing, at least jokingly. It doesn’t have to be anti trans.
It’s probably because those people don’t want to change their gender.
Smh the context is that’s Fleur Delacour, who is part Veela so she was considered unusually beautiful and could mesmerize men. She was also written originally as quite vain for her love of her own looks.
She’s upset as her husband is watching her transform into someone she clearly thinks is ugly lol.
It’s almost as if she is deeply uncomfortable in the gender of this body.
It’s the day before her wedding. She’s with her fiancé, she’s disguised to look like Harry, and she’s embarrassed to not look cute and especially being in her undies. No big deal.
No.
She’ll be coming round the mountain when she comes
Jk Rowling may not have intended this to be a trans affirming moment when a woman in a man’s body feels hideous with herself, but that’s how I’m going to take it.
are you fucking serious? My god get your head out of your ass, that is obviously not the reason.
Gotta put on that dress! Dave Chappelle
Wouldnt this scene actually be reinforcing the idea of body dysmorphia, since theyre now in a body they dont identify with and dont feel comfortable/attractive with?
If anything this is accidentally aligned with trans ideals
A female character takes the outward appearance of a man, yet still retains her own voice for this line. This shows that despite her looks, she is still a she. The Wizarding World is actually very transpositive, despite its creator.
The line “look away, I’m hideous” originated from the Seinfeld episode where Kramer invites Jerry into his apartment for pipe night. In the episode, Jerry tells Kramer that the smoke is disfiguring his face. Kramer then looks in a toaster (mirror) and says to Jerry, “look away…I’m hideous”.
The script for the movie wasn’t written by JK Rowling..
Fleur was a real one for this though. She did her part and showed her bravery just like everyone else
this is just a joke insulting how Harry looks, how do you have J.K. Rowling of all people living rent free
OR Daniel Radcliffe is fucking ugly 🤷♂️
This is some god tier straw reaching
and the shittiest post of the year award goes to..
Rowling is a shitty person, but I think this was more so meant to be funny than transphobic in nature.
Also I’m sure Daniel Radcliffe heard that line at the table reading of the script and was like 🤨
In all fairness… women wearing women’s clothing in men’s bodies in real life often are pretty unfortunate looking if not outright hideous.
