The only reason it's popular is because the media tell the masses so.

Womyn authors tend to have more sex in their stories. And more brutality. At least this is what I've come to notice when reading fantasy. There are, of course, exceptions, and the best fantasy authors are male. But in general, I'd say that men tend to write in more corny shit while women have grittier stories.
Womn authrs tnd t hav mor sx n ther storis. Nd mor brutalit. T lest ths s wht I'v com t notic whn readng fantas. Ther ar, f cours, exceptins, nd th bst fantas authrs ar mal. Bt n generl, I'd sa tht mn tnd t wrte n mor corn sht whil womn hav grittir storis.
If Harry Potter was written by a man, somebody would've bought a gun and shot Voldemort and been done with it. None of this chosen boy faggotry.

Not true. My father owns three shotguns, and they have been around since i was a child.
He does use them for clay pigeon shooting, but still.
I remember the furore around 15/16 years bin when gun owners actually had to own a locked gun cabinet by law.
There are legal guns in England.

If Harry Potter was written by a man, there would be a totally different story. It wouldn't be about friendship and shit, which would change the course of the story in total.
I think it's fine the way it is, though. (I do wish there was a bit more erotic behavior, instead of that pussy kissing and hugging. Teens can handle sex, not a big deal)

The books would be better written. Less meandering, less padding and filler, less irrelevant details.
Shit would be awkward as hell and really wasn't necessary. 17 year old virgins aren't exactly rare.

A male would be too stupid to even think of the concept. A male would just write another cliche war book but with wizards. Just like the thousands of other male fantasy authors who all write the same story and copy each other endlessly.

Well to be fair, the series is already filled with things that are awkward as hell and really unnecessary. Besides, I remember at least one hint at sex in the fourth book, though it could have of course been my wild imagination.

Well then thank goodness men are stupid enough to write books that aren't Harry Potter.
He would'nt need to buy a gun, he could shoot bullets out of his wand like he could an arrow. Harry Potter ended for me as soon as I realized that, cause there is no reason for the killing curse. No need for endless study of dark arts, it's begginers magic
