Everybody is chattering, apparently, about the maybe proposed Potter-verse tv series

Or, at least in the places I read, about how they probably shouldn't do it because JKR is super transphobic and doesn't need more money anyway.

You know, there's a lot I could theoretically say about that, but somehow, the convo in the comments I actually had was on the subject of Why Molly and Arthur Are Bad Parents, Canon Backs Me Up.

"But don't you think you're putting too much emphasis on the roast beef sandwiches?"

Nope, not at all. What I think is that Molly Weasley, if there's any justice in that world, is going to end up alone, wondering why all her kids won't talk to her. She's like one of the parents at Issendai's site. Literally, she's this woman at the end here, the one with the corn chips. She's not going to see her son for another ten months, and she makes him a lunch she knows he doesn't like?

I will stand by this statement.

I could see that happening. And of course Molly's concept of "happy domesticity" is actually "a life like mine" which comes freighted with everything described in this thread...
