I felt very warm and fuzzy reading new JKR. How can I not love an alleged children's writer who mentions murder, mutilation, cannibalism, adultery, and bestiality all within the span of 110 (ultra-short) pages? The stories are on the meh side, but Dumbledore's commentaries showed a smart, literary eye that reminded me briefly of Pale Fire. I'm all, "Hey, JK, you did your thang." Be that as it may, I'm a bit offended by the Dumbledore's anti-anti-Muggle bias. I see nothing wrong with witches and wizards not wanting to associate with Muggles. I hate Muggles, they are the worst! And I have Muggle heritage myself (but don't tell anyone I said that, EEW EEW EEW!) so you know I can't be magicist. Sometimes I look in the mirror and I think, "Go back to where you came from, Mudblood!" So I did -- but the staff at New York Presbyterian wouldn't take me back.

Haahhahaaa, this was great!
As a mud blood I have this exact feeling, haha. Great review.

You...you do realise that you just posted your muggle heritage online and then asked no one to tell, don't you?
Totally agree with this review. It's very dark and scary as a bedtime story-for parents who don't know what they're getting into when purchasing the unassuming fairytales about a hopping pot and a female rabbit.

Shananda wrote: "Ew any kind of human"Very true, actually.
...mudbloods are still the worst. Ew, me. Ew, other muggles.
Actually even though i hate humans (all kinds) muggles are better. We know what we're doing we make our magic from scratch we can explain every bit if we drove wizards into hiding by persecuting them without magic or even proper post WW2 technology so...Also dont be hard on Dumbledore because he's just overcompensating for when he was young dumb prejudiced and in love Grindelwald which jkr conveniently didnt mention in the books i might add
look,nobody cares (except maybe you know who) that you are half blood,severus snape was! !(but we can all agree he was a bit of a cow) okay a better half blood was hermione,she was literally the best in her year no joke she was better than me if someone who is working for you know who and calling people mu#####ds then they need to learn more about there boss
