Sounds an awful lot like the Johnlock clique.

Like seriously. That's some lack of understanding as to how fiction works. I especially like the word "admit", as if these characters have personalities and lives of their own and are in fact independent from the author. Delusions at their finest.

Yep. I bet if she wrote a Marauders series, she'd also have to ~admit~ that James never stopped being a bully, all the characters who said he got better had just been blinded by his clever charming act before he died. Shame on JK for glossing over her own creation's true character by never talking about it in the HP books or anywhere else.

Well, I think there can be a certain sense sometimes where characters end up moving away from what the author planned and becoming something different than was originally intended. But the author still has the choice to write what they want.

Re: this post made me roll my eyes so hard it hurt

[dreemyweird]

Kind of, yes, but I feel like it is actually a very rare situation when something that was not a part of the original intent at all becomes so prominent that it needs "admitting". It happens either when the author doesn't care much about what they write in the first place (or put little rational thought into it) or when the author misfires spectacularly due to changes in their social/cultural environment (e.g. Ray Bradbury). Neither is the case with Rowling.

That is not to mention the fact that there is zero evidence, conclusive or otherwise, in favour of Remus/Sirius.

Oh, no, I don't think its the case with Rowling. I can think of only one recent incident where I think it happened (How I Met Your Mother) which I think is an example of an author writing the ending before the beginning and then using the same ending even though the characters had gone in a completely different direction. But Rowling actually had things planned out and knows the characters really well. She changed as she went along as necessary, and while I don't love all the canon relationships they are canon and just what she intended.

Re: this post made me roll my eyes so hard it hurt

[dreemyweird]

Yes, I didn't think you meant her. Just worded it awkwardly (probably because it's pretty late here).

My general sentiment re:characters deviating significantly from the author's conscious characterization is that while it does happen, in every individual case lots of specific reasons must be brought as to why it happened because it is normally a very rare thing.
