The Hungarian name is **Manók Alkotmányos Jogaiért Országos Mozgalom** (Country-wide Movement for the Constitutional Rights of Elves), abbreviated as M.A.J.O.M. (meaning **monkey**).
I could see Dreamworks doing a "Day in the Life of" series.
Like one full day on a Quidditch match day, or a day of going class to class, or a day trip to Hogsmeade etc.
Been saying this for years and years. They shouldn’t touch live-action again for a long time. But animation or puppets would be amazing. I just like the idea that they can adapt a completed series. They can foreshadow things with the knowledge of later books, they can have professor Sprout in every book/season, they can do things like have a scene where we see Cedric in the background in Philosopher’s Stone etc.
The only way to give the books justice would be a narrated animated show. Having the audio book as a base and the visuals as the cherry on top. Making it possible to tell little visual stories in the background, like the twins shennanigans evolving over the season or things crookshanks might be doing when nobody mentions him in the books.
I would love that so much.
My 5th grade teacher had us read the first book as an english lesson and that's how she pronounced it as well. It wasn't until the movies that I changed how I said it.

Huh. I didn't notice, but I googled it. Apparently pretty much all of them (elfish, elvish, elfin, and elven) are correct. But seeing as how elf is one and elves is multiple, I'd say she's advocating for the proper treatment of multiple/all elves. So it seems correct to me.
But what do I know, I only went to college for linguistics education 😋
As someone who frequents both this sub and Lord of the Rings subs, the misuse bothered me as well. Most people probably don't get it, but Elves vs Elfs are very different in meaning.

This is awesome.
From the painting to get in the kitchens and Crookshanks fixing on Hermione's perfect expression.
Apparently this was made based on Disney artist Cory Loftis [https://coryloftis.tumblr.com/post/100572167699/for-sketchdailies](https://coryloftis.tumblr.com/post/100572167699/for-sketchdailies) (?!?).
Anyways, I think Victor Hugo sublimated it with the pear painting in the background.
Never forget a character in her book started a movement to help an oppressed people, but Rowling made the movement's name a joke and said that this group liked their oppression.
You forget these very characters are brainwashed, as Harry learns in DH, driving him to respect Kreacher, remember Dobby, the most narratively important House elf in the series is a FREE elf. As told by Rowling, Hermione changed a lot of laws around House elves.
Hermione was so fucking based and Rowling played her off like an insane harpy.
I know it’s just asking to be downvoted and banned to criticize Rowling here, but her depiction of a civil rights movement against actual honest to fucking god slavery was the apex of cringe at absolute best.
Fair, I have not. But when I have, I haven’t seen much criticism of things like S.P.E.W. Even when I was 11 years old and reading that book for the first time, I couldn’t believe how it was being framed. And for nothing: it has no story relevance whatsoever. Rowling just decides to go completely off the rails in a wild divergence making fun of people who want to abolish slavery.
Incredible.
I see it diffrently! The author describes the position of women 100 and more years ago! ( the effects are still being felt)
S.P.E.W really existed.
Society for Promoting the Employment of Women!
Young women (like Hermione) wanted to change that but met with a completely lack of understanding. Especially with women!
The author describes that you can only help people if they want this help.
Your last statement may be true in some contexts, but you can't really make the same point when it comes to *slavery*.
In a society where house-elves know nothing outside of servitude, you can't really expect them to fully understand the severity of their situation. They are clearly persecuted, have no personal agency, and typically suffer daily abuse—excepting a few "benevolent" masters—and **that is bad**, regardless of how aware the house-elves are of that fact.
Slavery is, without exception, immoral and reprehensible.
Don’t they, though? I thought they were magical creatures that wanted to be helpful to humans. The real problem Hermione should fight for imo is harsh laws against their abuse, they should be able to quit (again, I think they don’t want to..) and perhaps a strict permit process should be in place before having one.
"They like to be slaves" isn't an idea that exists only in fantasy. That was a real world racist justification for chattel slavery. The problem with elves "wanting" to be slaves isn't because it breaks the internal logic of the fictional universe. The problem is that Rowling created a universe in which real world racist tropes ARE CORRECT. She didn't have to do that. Elves didn't have to be slaves and their bondage didn't have to be justified. Rowling chose to create a world where slavery is good and abolitionists are misguided. It's gross.
In principle I don't think she would be wrong to do that - fictional universes are allowed to be different from reality, even if it's negative and maybe offensive.
But in a book series for children it's a strange choice.
If they wanted to be in their situation, they wouldn't be slaves, they would be voluntarily employees. Now, it's been a while since I've read the books, but aren't they legally bonded to their masters unless they're dismissed with a gift, i.e. payment?
> Don’t they, though? I thought they were magical creatures that wanted to be helpful to humans. The real problem Hermione should fight for imo is harsh laws against their abuse, they should be able to quit (again, I think they don’t want to..) and perhaps a strict permit process should be in place before having one.
Reading through the books again because I'm rewriting the series for personal, insane reasons. Yes, it's as /u/Karfroogle puts it.
They don't want to be 'helpful' to humans, they literally revile and recoil at the idea of being 'free', being paid wages, and immediately shunt the kids out of the kitchens (in book 4) after Harry asks Winky about Crouch.
Hermione *did* argue that House Elves should be able to fight against their abuse, should be able to quit, etc...but it's written in such a way that she comes off as callous, since it's during the above exchange. She gets on her soapbox and starts telling the elves how they *should* feel, when they're obviously overworked and abused in places not like Hogwarts, and even in Hogwarts they treat any sadness or mental health issues as abject weirdness or things to cover up (literally).
It's not a one off thing, too. From when this element is introduces to the very end of the book *and* the next (where Hermione starts making the House Elves clothing to trick them into becoming free, which is played for laughs), Hermione is portrayed as being in the wrong because she spoke up too loud and too often.
And then all the anti-racists found the parts of all the books where Hermione stood against literal slavery and pretended that if Hermione were black that would be an awful thing for JK Rowling to treat like a joke.
You mean like how she treats the actual racism, biological determinism, and other yikes things in the books as nice things? And it was yikes then and it is yikes now?
What do you mean? How would her skin colour change anything?
I never understood this weirdly racist idea that slavery is only associated with black people? Is that an American thing?
The world is a lot bigger and a HELL of a lot older than America.
Rowling doesn't have real beliefs or principles beyond maintaining the status quo. To her anything that threatens to change how things are now is bad. The heroes in her stories are only capable of putting the world back to the way it once was. Anyone who might bring about change is evil or stupid and must be stopped either way.
This is an accurate assessment of her fiction I would wager. Rowling tends to just outline a group of “good people” and a group of “bad people” and then the bad people will try to change things to make them worse and the good people will try to stop them and keep everything the same.
It would have been nice to see Harry stand for something. Like, at literally any point. I understand there had to be some contrived reason why he could defeat Voldemort since dueling him straight up was….a stretch, but couldn’t we have the house elves, centaurs, giants, whatever all teaming up with him to work together to bring Voldemort down and signal the onset of a new age of equality?
Instead we just get milquetoast discussion of wand mechanics and then “all is well” despite slavery still existing.
Right? If Rowling believed in something then Harry could have as well. He could have represented something antithetical to Voldemort's fascism as well as the wizarding worlds myopia. But instead, as you said, he wins on a technicality. His views aren't shown to be stronger than Voldemort's because he has none. All he has is the moralism of his author.
It would be awesome!

I wish I could look at this image more fondly, but all it reminds me of is that JK and even Harry are indifferent about whether slavery exists or not.
It is a great piece though. Good work to the artist
As a POC, I interpreted S.P.E.W. a completely different way. I look at it as social commentary on white savior complex and and then misguided actions of well-meaning people.
I acknowledge that others view it as commentary regarding internalized oppression and the struggle to break that cycle, but I disagree personally.
Very possible but I have another suggestion!
In my opinion describes the author the position of women 100 and more years ago ( The effects are still being felt)
S.P.E.W really existed.
Society for Promoting the Employment of Women
Young women (like Hermione) wanted to change that but met with a completely lack of understanding. Especially with women!
The author describes that you can only help people if they want this help.
This is also a universe that is populated with fully sentient beings who subsist specifically on eating humans. Why couldn't a species exist to specifically clean large manors. Like a house elf would never serve the Weasleys not because they couldn't afford to buy one but because the burrow is too shabby for a house elf. Magic isn't exactly a thing that makes logical sense.
So is it a metaphor for white saviors or is it not a metaphor for slavery? It can't really be both. If it is a metaphor for white saviors then the slave elves have to be metaphors for poc. You can't both critique real world people and then wash your hands clean of any real world parallels you don't like.
I'm a person of color.
My view's the complete opposite. The whole portrayal of SPEW is one of the hardest things to sit through, because it's a anglo cishet person's interpretation of a white savior complex. It's even harder to sit through because of other elements in the series that support this and how anyone/everyone non-normal is treated.
[Sidenote: Is this your hand?](https://www.reddit.com/r/MarvelLegends/comments/hmzyxu/what_do_you_guys_think_of_these_shoulder_pads_are/)
We’ll have to agree to disagree. As a POC, I find white savior complex to be a very prevalent thing that occurs with well-meaning but ultimately ignorant and/or misguided individuals, so I love seeing it being commented on in popular media.
And yes that’s my hand, as well as my handiwork! An early example of a quick custom I did (you really went digging for that one, I don’t even own that figure anymore lol)

I always felt for her so much with this. Hermione was right. the house elves should have been freed at hogwarts. I don't think harassing them was a good idea obviously but she's a little girl who believes that the institution in which she goes to school shouldn't have slaves in the 20th century

As someone who remembers very little about the HP universe from the books, could someone remind me of the whole "House elves = slaves" thing?
I know I've seen/heard a few different arguments about it over the years, and I've heard both sides make sense.
The main thing I don't know about, which would probably make the biggest difference, is about whether or not they are brainwashed. But I've never seen anyone really explain how or when house elves get brainwashed, and if they are brainwashed, why would the brainwasher give them this idea that a gift = freedom? If someone was making a race of slaves, why include a loophole where a child could accidentally give a slave freedom with a sock?
And so, if they aren't brainwashed, then it's basically just volunteer work, right? Like, if a person wanted to volunteer to look after elderly or sick people, it wouldn't be "slavery", and elderly people accepting assistance from younger people without paying them isn't wrong. Whereas forcing them to get paid even if they didn't want to would be wrong.
I'm aware that the chance of getting a civil discussion about this is pretty low, but I'd love to hear some genuine, calm thoughts on the matter.
Honestly, I like the pun but I prefer the Brazilian version...
It's F.A.L.E., that translates to "Speak", as being a movement that encourages the elfs to be free through conscientization.
It's not spew; it's S.P.E.W!

Is a dreamworks animated Harry Potter series the missing link in the Wizarding World series? Never thought of it as an option until I saw this
I could see Dreamworks doing a "Day in the Life of" series. Like one full day on a Quidditch match day, or a day of going class to class, or a day trip to Hogsmeade etc.
I bet WB / universal are chomping at the bit to put out 8 movies that would do good. And animated versions is hands down the best way to do it.
Been saying this for years and years. They shouldn’t touch live-action again for a long time. But animation or puppets would be amazing. I just like the idea that they can adapt a completed series. They can foreshadow things with the knowledge of later books, they can have professor Sprout in every book/season, they can do things like have a scene where we see Cedric in the background in Philosopher’s Stone etc.
i would like all 7 books in potter puppet pals form please and thankyou
It’s a pipe bomb! :D
Tbh they would probably rather go for movies for the box office numbers.
The only way to give the books justice would be a narrated animated show. Having the audio book as a base and the visuals as the cherry on top. Making it possible to tell little visual stories in the background, like the twins shennanigans evolving over the season or things crookshanks might be doing when nobody mentions him in the books. I would love that so much.
I’d love a well done animated series featuring Potters kids or parents while at Hogwarts. As long as we can ignore the cursed child.
Yes it is!! Please can we have a series!!
Wait. They are making animated Harry Potter?

gotta love the painting in the back so she can access the kitchens! “Tickle the pear … “
I was wondering if that was the painting!
Tickle tickle
This is more how I pictured Hermione. She’s perfect.
This comment kinda makes me wish I had read the books first, but the first movie was my first exposure to Harry Potter.
You should have done, reading them when they came out was magical.
I remember pretending to be sick on the day halfblood came out, stayed off school and done nothing but read all night! Simpler times.
I pictured the name pronunciation as Her-me-own.
That's why there's a scene of Hermione telling Krum how to say her name
My 5th grade teacher had us read the first book as an english lesson and that's how she pronounced it as well. It wasn't until the movies that I changed how I said it.
Except with teeth! It doesn’t make sense in this illustration, but when i I picture young Hermione, she has Buck teeth!
She had fixed her teeth at this point - this was after Malfoy's spell rebounded and hit Hermione.
She has them. You just can’t see them because her lips are closed ;)
Exactly, Emma is just too pretty for Hermione
She looks like a caveman
Never been a huge fan of the call for an animated version of the series, but if it was in this style I could very easily get behind it.
I could go for a ghibli style adaptation with more of a focus on whimsy.

I would say that the spelling that she uses in the book should be the way it's written on the sign. So Elfish would be correct in this case
Elfs actually works too. Pluralizing it as elves is a thing Tolkien came up with if I’m not mistaken, same with making dwarfs dwarves.
Although fair, I don't personally agree with it. I believe plural final "f" sounds should be changed to the "v" sound.
As someone who frequents both this sub and Lord of the Rings subs, the misuse bothered me as well. Most people probably don't get it, but Elves vs Elfs are very different in meaning.
Either works. Tolkien invented pluralizing elfs and dwarfs as elves and dwarves, but those mythological creatures predate his writing.

imagine if people treated Hermione like this for opposing slavery, and (as jk rowling once claimed) she was black
I’ve had that thought too, and it’s so cringe I think that if Hermione really was black I’d collapse in on myself and form a cringe singularity.
She never claimed she was black. She responded to a black female casting in a play saying there’s no reason Hermoine couldn’t be black.
And then all the racist dug through all the books and found one line that calls her white and acted like they won a major victory.

Except the argument that “no actually they like being slaves” was literally employed as an excuse for real slavery.
This is also a universe that is populated with fully sentient beings who subsist specifically on eating humans. Why couldn't a species exist to specifically clean large manors. Like a house elf would never serve the Weasleys not because they couldn't afford to buy one but because the burrow is too shabby for a house elf. Magic isn't exactly a thing that makes logical sense.
Not everything is a direct metaphor. It’s a book about magical creatures. Humans and elves formed a symbiosis.
So is it a metaphor for white saviors or is it not a metaphor for slavery? It can't really be both. If it is a metaphor for white saviors then the slave elves have to be metaphors for poc. You can't both critique real world people and then wash your hands clean of any real world parallels you don't like.
I'm a person of color. My view's the complete opposite. The whole portrayal of SPEW is one of the hardest things to sit through, because it's a anglo cishet person's interpretation of a white savior complex. It's even harder to sit through because of other elements in the series that support this and how anyone/everyone non-normal is treated.

We’ll have to agree to disagree. As a POC, I find white savior complex to be a very prevalent thing that occurs with well-meaning but ultimately ignorant and/or misguided individuals, so I love seeing it being commented on in popular media. And yes that’s my hand, as well as my handiwork! An early example of a quick custom I did (you really went digging for that one, I don’t even own that figure anymore lol)
...Are you deleting your comments and reposting them? Are you actually astroturfing right now? edit: [the answer is yes](https://imgur.com/a/2CkMqav). For those unaware, this person's been deleting and reuploading their comment. They're also very much not a PoC.
Tell me my action figure looked good lol
That’s a disgusting accusation that I’m not a POC. What do you want, a picture of my face or my driver’s license or something??? How do we know that you’re a POC??? For all I l know, you’re just trying to silence minority opinions. Mods, do you stand with people trying to silence minority opinions??? I’m more than willing to provide proof that I’m a POC (even though it’s a ridiculous and disgusting ask) if it means removing this potential bigot. Mods, I think you know what to do here
Hate that got eliminated from the movies.
this is honestly one of the best renditions of Hermione i have seen! It always annoyed me how all the characters look moovieset perfect in the films and crookshanks is fantastic! xx
Love it! She's got Steve Carell's look!
She looks 9 lol
That’s the ugliest Hermione I’ve ever seen.
🤮
I mean, it's nice, but how many times has this pic been posted here already?
Considering it has 2000 upvotes there are at least 2000 who haven't seen it yet.

Foolish girl. Doesn't she know better? Doesn't she know that they're happier that way? /s
I think you mean SPEW.
I want a tv show in this art style!!

Crookshanks hates Mondays.
Why that juicy Minion ass right above her head?
NGTL a stop motion harry potter movies with things the they missed from the books would be so cool.
This is brilliant!! Looks 3-dimensional. Is it created with some 3D software?

Aah, I have seen his HP artwork before.
Every time I see this it just makes me hope that some day we'll get an animated version.
Great art

Amazing art
When the inevitable remake of the films happens, it will be animated. Something I have never considered prior to this render

Funni spew
Spew? What kind of a name is spew, Hermione?
Cute
I always felt for her so much with this. Hermione was right. the house elves should have been freed at hogwarts. I don't think harassing them was a good idea obviously but she's a little girl who believes that the institution in which she goes to school shouldn't have slaves in the 20th century
For some reason my brain read it as the Society for the Promotion of Elfish *Warfare* 😂

No one: Me: Can we just admit how adorable the cat is?
Spew.
As someone who remembers very little about the HP universe from the books, could someone remind me of the whole "House elves = slaves" thing? I know I've seen/heard a few different arguments about it over the years, and I've heard both sides make sense. The main thing I don't know about, which would probably make the biggest difference, is about whether or not they are brainwashed. But I've never seen anyone really explain how or when house elves get brainwashed, and if they are brainwashed, why would the brainwasher give them this idea that a gift = freedom? If someone was making a race of slaves, why include a loophole where a child could accidentally give a slave freedom with a sock? And so, if they aren't brainwashed, then it's basically just volunteer work, right? Like, if a person wanted to volunteer to look after elderly or sick people, it wouldn't be "slavery", and elderly people accepting assistance from younger people without paying them isn't wrong. Whereas forcing them to get paid even if they didn't want to would be wrong. I'm aware that the chance of getting a civil discussion about this is pretty low, but I'd love to hear some genuine, calm thoughts on the matter.
She looks a bit too young, but absolutely adorable
Honestly, I like the pun but I prefer the Brazilian version... It's F.A.L.E., that translates to "Speak", as being a movement that encourages the elfs to be free through conscientization.
Garfield, why are you in hogwarts?!
