Let's talk about Weasleys for a bit, specifically how they are a metaphor of how the English nobility viewed the Irish.
First clue is the hair color; everyone has ginger hair, a characteristic often associated with Ireland, the family is also rather poor, Ireland has always been poor compared to England (I wonder why...)
There's also the name: what's the Weasley dad's first name? Arthur Weasley, wait, what? That sounds familiar, almost like...Arthur Wellesley, 1st Duke of Wellington & member of a prominent Anglo-Irish family, the Wellesleys.
The Weasleys are a pure-blood family, but viewed as inferiors, almost like muggle-borns, by Malfoys, a family that is curiously similar to the stereotypical English nobles who are in love with their own noble birth & despise anyone who sympathises with those who they themselves view as inferior people (like the Irish), and as such they tend to treat Anglo-Irish as if they were 100% Irish.
Other connection to Ireland are also drawn, especially in the movies, and I am not even talking about Weasleys cheering for the Irish team during Quiddich World Cup.
Remember the falling-out Harry and Ron had later during the movie, who did Ron hang out with when ever Harry and Ron ran into each other? That guy who was always blowing things up (usually by accident)? Seamus Finnigan, a very clearly Irish bloke.

Fuck all you funny talking britbongs english, irish, scottish, welsh, etc.... Go suck prince harry's cock some more. Soccer sucks, football is way better.
Luke Williams
The Scots have red hair. The only Irish with red hair are those with Scottish ancestors.
Gavin Campbell
>soccer >calling a game where guys run around carrying an egg-shaped object "football"
Bentley Perry
Potato famine.....in the words of Alan Partridge, that's what you get for being a picky eater. Hope your ancestors suffered sub human irish
Evan Long
let's see: Malfoys and their kind are the English nobility, muggle-borns are the Irish, Wasleys are Anglo-Irish, Arthur Weasley's keen interest in anything muggle-related sounds like a metaphor for the Anglo-Irish taking interest in anything Irish in order to better blend in among the Irish population.
Carson Cox
Out of curiosity are you Irish or English?
Joseph Cooper
I would lick Ginny's sweet pink ginger butthole.
Parker Long
neither
Zachary Parker
>calling french fries chips
>calling a flashlight a torch
> calling a cigarette a fag
You wanna play this game britfuck? I can keep going...
Joshua Jackson
I am not British
Luke Powell
>thinking that chips and french fries are the same thing.
Jace Foster
The other families in the Sacred Twenty-Eight disprove of and look down on the Weasley family because they don't share the pure blood prejudice against muggles,muggle-borns, mudbloods and the like.
Parker Diaz
I'll take the bait... whats the difference between chips and french fries?
Aaron Phillips
But hey, that's just a theory A FILM THEORY, thanks for watching!
Jackson Rodriguez
chips are larger
Jeremiah Lewis
I hate that line, but overall his channel is OK
Eli Russell
flash verb 1. shine in a bright but brief, sudden, or intermittent way.
Unless you're turning it on and off like at a fucking strobe, the term flashlight makes no sense.
Zachary Adams
Actually ginger hair is much more common in scotland as 40% of the population carry the gene.
William Howard
so it seems, but red hair is still associated with Ireland more than any other place AFAIK
Easton Jones
Doesn't that just depend on the size of the potato?
Jeremiah Lopez
I mean that a fry's cross-section is more or less square while a chip is more like a random chunk sliced off a potato
Carter Martin
Yer 'll talkin pish, go down the shitter ya lavvy heids.
Josiah Campbell
shut yer mouth gobshite
Brandon Myers
Yeah, never knew the details but yeah. And the dark magic black kid? The Asian girl Harry loves? The Indian twins? Europe is a cluster-fuck of nationalities.
But as a metaphor for how the English nobility view the Irish? What is noble anyway? So on and so on m8e
Henry Butler
stating the obvious/10
congrats, you would pass grade 9 english studies
Camden Morgan
I mean, yeah, sure. I'm sure there's a lot to learn behind each character and their meanings and the ties they share between modern culture.
Thomas Robinson
Ireland is now quite a rich country. after the celtic tiger period it is now a strong economy.
Angel Davis
there's a line, and you idiots are approaching it
Xavier Rodriguez
Aw shit so jk rowlings an sjw? Cancer
Ryder Wilson
>because J K Rowling isnt as dumb as a post
Blake Gomez
almost exactly what I meant
Angel Murphy
>damage control jessie
Grayson Gray
I said that chips are larger, the pic says chips are "chunkier than standard fries", wording is different but the meaning is more or less the same
Chase Morales
It still pisses me off that one of the twins died in the last book.
Thomas Campbell
>implying you can't find bullshit metaphors in anything
Christopher Campbell
This. Rowling is a twat for that one.
Matthew Fisher
Wtf? No Taytos? You gotta have some fucking taaayytos.
Christopher Turner
Good theory but probably untrue. Your idea of "what the English nobility think" doesn't really ring true when J K Rowling is Scottish and was on welfare payments when writing the books
Hudson Edwards
OP here, notice that I used past tense, also note that in the sentence where I talked about English nobility in present tense I said "stereotypical English nobles" and then explained what I meant by "stereotypical", as for Rowling being Scottish, that doesn't really invalidate my theory, in fact as a Scotsman (or is the PC term nowadays "Scotswoman"? So difficult to keep track of these things...) she might be even more likely to have a negative opinion of the stereotypical English nobility than your average English person would.
Nolan Miller
>shit country >rebel citizens fighting your own govt. >drunkards >ugly women >weird traditions
you irish are the mexicans of the uk
Hudson Bailey
OP here, in case you were referring to me, I am not Irish, nor am I British either (in fact English is only my second language, though it should technically be my third)
Cooper Moore
She's not Scottish tho.

amercanhere. this thread is very entertaining. nothing like watching the Eu infighting over j.k. rofling's shite of a series.
Eli Edwards
did you guys forget that planes exist?
Brayden King
both of the stars end up with redhead feces at the end. it's just another example of pathetic garbage licking british sociology.
in the states, we lick niggers mostly.
Cooper Edwards
This lol
Carter Bailey
i don't get how anyone in america can even get close to niggers. personally. they have a very nauseating odor. olny blacks have this smell and any non black whose been around them would know. it even permeates their entire home too. i know because i used to work as a repairman.
Jonathan Moore

Benjamin Peterson
Go to bed or go to work, niggers.
Nicholas Martin
Chill mike...its not all about us right now, bud.
Alexander Green
What have you written and published lately?
You know what a shit swries is still better than? No series at all. Lets hear your taste
Inb4 you google top 10 lists to post nigger i dont want a book from a dead american over 50 years old

Write your own damn thesis

What you fail to understand with your dead britbong vocabulary is that in U.S., potato(of any size) + hot oil bath = fries
Nathaniel Richardson
okay calm down kiddo. no need to get all butthurt cause i don't like your precious series.
just a little fyi.i hate everything. i love to read. but you wont catch me reading some fantasy written by X
if anything i like movies. comedies. some horror. a couple of action ones too.
you like bad boys 2? we should get together and watch it sometime
Carson Wood
nope, Vikings, got everywhere. also some pre Gael (back to bronze age before the iron age Celts invaded) had blond or red hair.
Ian James
once again I am not British, I'm not even a native English-speaker
Asher Barnes
why? why would you go for an arsehole when her sweet cunt is an inch away?
mind you she is far too skinny now...
Benjamin Morgan
tell me. how come there were exactly 0 redheads in the movie braveheart? is mel gibson scared of souless gingers?
Anthony Gonzalez
fun fact the red hair gene is the same mutation in all red haired animals - so yes, red heads do share genes in common with squirrels and Red Setter dogs. makes sense.
Jason Sullivan
its called a football because it's a foot long
but it should still be called footegg
Samuel Long
Can't we just agree that, even though they've "developed" the english language, english people tend to use rather unconventional terms to describe everyday objects. British English as a formal language is rather nice to listen too, even more soothing than American English (atleast that's my opinion) but street english in Britain is horrible to listen too. Not because of their accents, but because of examples that you mentioned. Germanfag here and our "chips" are "chips", not "crisps". Please britbongs, either stick to your nice Oxford English or shut up.
Jordan Young
uhm actually the only time the foot touches the egg shaped ball is during kickoffs/fieldgoals. so it would be called HANDegg. since we carry the ball in our hands.
Levi Harris
i know that, have you read the first sentence?
Bentley Hernandez
medieval Scotsmen didn't wear kilts either, nor was "Prima Nocta" a thing either, in fact I think the only Mel Gibson movie I know that wasn't pure BS was "We were soldiers"
Alexander Walker
NOPE. i really wanted to chime in and be all like "actually" while pushing up my imaginary glasses.
Daniel Parker
PICTLAND FOR THE PICTS! CELTS OUT NOW!
Dylan Brown
funny. "we were soldiers" is just about the only mel gibson movie i haven't/wont see. well that and "Passion of the christ"
Parker Hill
So they're irish. So what. The fact that you point out negativity in it or presumed negativity from other, fictional, characters shows more of your own opinion and anger.
>oh gimli was the comic relief in lotr movies omg elves are such elitists so we gots to kill everyone who's longer than 6 feet now. stand up for little people with beards
Justin Foster
why won't you watch "We were soldiers"? It's a rather good movie, one of the few American war movies actually like
Kayden Turner
how come hogwarts was 95% white children? they literally metthe bare minimum token quota and have like. ONE or TWO of the other races. and they're barely in the series.
Tyler Wilson
ehhh..american war movie is american war movie. there's too many to pick from. personal favorites include. apocalypse now. saving private. inglorious. that tank movie. the one with robin williams. i got my fix of merican war movies.
Gabriel Barnes
Because such a world is created by one person. You will never get a fictional world as rich as the real world because here everyone thinks of everything.
You just thought of that stupid reply to write, I'd never have written that in a book >but muh privilege dis book has no stupid replies omg triggered Diversity of billions isnt in the mind of one.
Jaxson Lee
During the falling out Ron went to say with his brother Bill and his wife Fleur.
Jose Parker
Ron's dad has a fucking elastic arm.
Jayden Edwards
just saying. j.k. rofling could have had more diversity. im sure she defends it herself too. but she was all like. "nu-uh, not in my fantasy. gunna keep it nice and aryan."
either way. i don't care. i just like pointing out things that i notice.
Jace Clark
but now we have a black hermione
Nolan Reyes
It's actually good writing to not have it. Admittedly for autism it's not.
When writing you want a 'clean' world. You don't want too much things to be noticed except for everything that matters. Fact of the matter is most white people socialize with white people. Most niggers are not in the UK either and people see Brits as the lads with a british accent drinking tea and being posh.
Generalization makes life much easier. We don't have time to process and identify every unique snowflake you want them to be the same so you can focus on your main characters whom should be easily identifiable as what they are and how the world sees them: british.
Only autismus and people nitpicking will find the problems.
Joseph Ramirez
different movie, I was talking about the Goblet of Fire (I mentioned the Quiddich World Cup in the post so I thought it would be obvious I was talking about GoF)
Cameron Robinson
Northeastern? Nice trips but I'll have to respectfully disagree in favour of the master race potato product, the hash brown

Logan Walker
I don't trust them. I've worked in kitchens basically my whole working life and I gotta tell ya, there are some retarded fucks out there who can't make decent mashed potatoes if they have instructions right there with them. They're either too dry and bland or they're basically cream and melted butter puree with too much salt and pepper. Done right though they're delicious
John Evans
bump
Chase Davis
im not upset about it or anything. im not complaining about it either. all i wanted to do was point out that it's not that ethnic. the whole black hermiony thing is just pandering btw.
