So I've been out of the Harry Potter fandom for over a decade now — although my love the books never waned, I started moving onto Naruto c.2003 and by college I had completely left — but I get the feeling now, due to lack of new materials, people have made wild speculations about Harry and the others' kids. It's not like we didn't do the same back in the day; in the three-year interim between Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix people exploded with ideas about what would happen now that Voldemort returned. (Few rightly predicted that he would lay low to gather strength and Fudge would start persecuting anyone who said otherwise.)

I really love fandom. I love looking at fanart, gushing over merch, and reading people discussing something I enjoy. But as a fan I like to keep my foot in reality, and I highly suspect many do not, which makes me wonder why they're fans to begin with. Let's take the person in that confession above: Do you know why people are interested in the Marauders? Because the books focused heavily on them. Hell, Prisoner of Azkaban was almost entirely about his parents' generation. If you compare that to that one chapter at the end of Deathly Hallows, of course people are going to pay more attention to the the Marauders. Victoire is literally only mentioned once in passing. Why the hell would I care about her when there's so much shit about Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter? Did you even like the books? Because if you wanted to skip all the stuff about them and say literally at the very end here's where the good shit is, I don't know why you're even in this fandom.

I'm guessing you just like non-cis, homosexual materials, but then again I'm wondering why you're here. That didn't really happen in Harry Potter. Yeah, fandom is half wish fulfillment ("wouldn't it be great if Shinji and Kaworu banged?"), but at the end of the day that wasn't what Harry Potter is about. If you want to discuss that type of stuff, then I'm not certain this is the platform for you, which is why you'll be eternally frustrated. Because let's be honest: Practically everyone in that series is straight and cis, which mirrors the general population. You're gonna have to look elsewhere if you want something that isn't that.
