"crazy made up ******** that stupid people take as fact"

You do realize these books are fiction right? That wizards and witches and dark lords are all crazy made up ******** ? So she can say whatever the hell she wants and it would be cannon because she is the author. Aliens could attack hogwarts. House elves could be replaced with talking dogs with extra human arms. hagrid could turn out to be a bear who has maxed out his disguise and bluff to fool everyone into thinking he was human.

to be fair, its basically her covering her tracks on things she failed to write in her books.

No. All that matters is what's written down. My understanding of what happened to the characters after the stories and mine are equally valuable because we should be drawing from the same resource. For some reason people like you think the author has magic insight, but it's just a fictional universe, confined to the medium it exists in. Two hundred years from now we won't have her meaningless tweets but we might have her novels

Your version of their universe is confined to what's written.

The universe itself is fictional and is a product of the creator's mind, effectively making them that universe's God. They can do whatever they want with their own universe regardless of whether it gets written down or not.

I guess for those parts of the story that aren't written the people just blink out of existence right? After all if it's not written down it doesn't count.

I don't understand what you meant in the second paragraph, it's written like you want it to be sarcastic, but it's true.

They can't just say things and do whatever they want. If she said she always thought Harry was a women it would obviously be a stupid comment. So to add supplemental facts that aren't provable in the novels is interesting, at most, but unquestionably meaningless. Or at least, as meaningless as any fanfic about the novels

How can you agree with "They can do whatever they want with their own universe regardless of whether it gets written down or not." and then immediately follow with "They can't just say things and do whatever they want."

If she said she always saw Harry as a woman then yea it would be stupid because we know he's a man. If she said Harry IS a transgendered woman or even just a manly looking woman, you'd have to accept it unless the creator is obviously joking. If she wants to flesh out the universe more with unwritten details that is entirely within her power. She's that universe's God. You're more than welcome to make your own where Harry isn't a woman, but that is no longer JK's Harry Potter then. It's your own creation based of someone else's. a Fanfic.

So you ignoring what the creator of the world says in favour of what you want is actually you creating your own fanfic instead of following the world of the original creator.

That's not to say some creators aren't stupid and ignore flaws and plot holes, but you have no power over the Harry Potter universe because it isn't your fictional universe.

Yeah, that was my bad. I meant the last part was true.

And absolutely not. If she said Harry was always a women in a man's body and meant it seriously you can just dismiss it as wrong. And again, yes, if you want to amit it, I'll accept that she's just making another fanfic you all like, that's fine, but admit it's just meaningless fanfic. My dismissal of it is an adherence to the novels as presented. If anything I'm staying more within the realm of the novel than she is.

I'm not ignoring her baseless claims because I want to. I'm ignoring them ecause it doesn't logically fit the things presented by the novel. We all have one body of evidence, and I refer to that in making claims about the novel. Apparently she just gets to make up stuff about the novels and we have to impose the fact on the novel, rather than see if she was successful in conveying that idea. And some times she will fail to convey it. Sure it's interesting to consider, and an exercise for an aspiring writer, but it's as meaningful as any other random fan fiction when you can't prove it from the given evidence

If want to speak in terms of the novel, then yes she isn't fitting the novel.

I was talking about the Harry Potter universe. HER fictional, made up universe. You can have your own Harry Potter universe but it's not the original. It is your own FanFic of her original universe.

If JK comes out and says Snape didn't kill Dumbledore, he comes back to life some 30 years in to the future when Harry is a 50 year old man. Guess what? It might not make much sense but it's canon in the Harry Potter universe now. Unless stated otherwise, or a joke. You can go ahead and ignore it and stay true to the novels and say he's dead forever but then you diverged and created your own universe now.

NO. If she says things that don't make sense they certainly aren't canon. That defeats the purpose of any kind of study of novels, or existence of canon. Otherwise retconning wouldn't be a thing and it certainly wouldn't be viewed negatively, as it is. It's considered bad form to change things in works that don't makes sense within the context of the work. Just because you like it or what she says or any other aspect does not make her unjustifiable explanation of something true. It seems to make any meaning I drew from the novel suddenly empty because she can wipe it away by having a random thought that is entirely unknowable to not only me, but anybody in existence except one specific subject. Instead, it makes more sense to expect that all people draw on the available evidence, which is exceptionally easy with novels and movies as it's themselves, to draw conclusions. Any claim she makes about the books should be greeted with as much skepticism as any fan theory, and equally scrutinized. Not thrown out as a now fact of the nature of the books

That's why I pointed out that some creators are bad and they just ignore all form and plot and change things whenever suits them. It's allowed.

Is it done in GOOD literature? No, not usually. That doesn't however mean it doesn't happen.

Unless their is something else already in the story that just straight up proves without a doubt that the new fact is fake or impossible within the universe ( ex: Saying Harry is a girl suddenly when he is described as a man in novels and portrayed as a man in the movies ) but she can absolutely say that Dumbledore when he was 40 was a member of Hell's Angels and drove cross country on a Harley, because there is nothing refuting that and it's her universe.

Sure, but it's as meaningful when she's it as me. It's just a random thought in the wind with no justification. If you want to say she's a bad author, I'm on board. Not because of her writing, but because of her lack of integrity, so maybe a bad artist.

This is what happens when we teach in schools that every possible reading of a book is as valid and reasonable as any other reading of a book. Sometimes the author isn't actually "dead," you know.

And sometimes the author has stupid opinions that aren't evident in the novels they write. It's meaningless if there's no evidence. If anything this is more demanding than saying "they made it up. They get to chose"

So the literal only problem is that the author has not physically written something down. Therefore, if the author physically wrote down what you seem to have a problem with, then you would accept it, because then it would be part of the novels.

Do you not understand how little sense you are making?

The original medium would be her artistic creation of it within her mind, what is placed on the pages of a series does not completely contain or describe the world that most authors create.

You just have your own personal opinion on the matter, as do we all. Some of us like having these questions answered from the person who created this series for us, which gives us more input to character values and information that otherwise would never of been printed.

Ok. Cool. If you're willing to admit that you're asking about something beyond the factsof the novel I can accept that. But at the same time, that means that you're admiring that some **** she says will be unprovable in the novel, since you're going to ask about stuff like stuff after the epilogue
Reply

#42 to #36 - peebze (12/19/2015) [-]
We can't say that this is the epilogue of that world though. She has published another book in the same world, but not the same series, so should we not take this publication as facts of the world just because it wasn't published within the first series? And while she has stated she will not be writing any more "Harry Potter" series, she did say that it doesn't mean there will not be more from that world set at a different time and setting.

So does that make these other publications false simply because they weren't in the original books? Her tweets hold just as much value as these do towards the world.

It's equivalent to the two existing star wars trilogy. If it has characters in it, then it's fair game. And you can use it to explain things which are related. But a lot of the stuff she's claimed wasn't in the other stuff either. When she introduces it we can then deal with it's extension and critique it if we dont like the way they retconned stuff (again, star wars)

Good point, but she's in charge of the lore. And as far as I'm aware, her game, Pottermore, has loads of extra information on the universe, Dont know if the stuff in the content is there though.

I read an interview with Rowling (a long time ago, around the time book 4 or 5 came out) where she mentioned that she has A LOT of stuff written down that isn't meant for readers, so that she doesn't **** up the continuity. I believe she gave 'Sirius Black's entire childhood' as an example.
