A comic where the Sorting Hat tells a student, "JK Rowling uses profits from this franchise to fund anti-trans legislation!" The student responds, "Aww, I wanted Ravenclaw," while another child nearby says, "I'm 39 years old!"

    If you want your fill of British Wizards, read Rivers of London.

    The audio books are fantastic as well and my preferred way to consume the series. Currently on my 5th listening of them.

    I've only read the first in the series so far, but Her Majesty's Royal Coven by Juno Dawson is another good alternative if you're looking for LGBT-friendly British urban fantasy. Content Warning for anyone currently going through a difficult coming-out process though as it does contain that as one of the plotlines and has some bigoted characters as a result.

    Why is the title Animorphs? Applegate and Grant are very inclusive and politically progressive in their works and interviews.

    We literally can't. Even if we decide to ignore Rowling, millions of people will continue giving her hundreds of millions of pounds per year which she uses to support fascism. So we are unable to let it die, and it would be foolish to forget.

    Did anyone else read Everworld? I feel like I'm the only one that ever read that series.

    Heck yeah, I've even reread everworld and remnants.

    The

    spoilersThe captive scene with hel, the way the Angel's sacrifice stuck with Christopher, there was some sort of gay relationship being explored there too, Senna in Africa

    Those series are very original, creative and progressive in that they have a lot to say that aren't just rehashes of issues already brought up in animorphs or other ya series.

    Grant's solo YA series like BZRK and Gone also get pretty crazy

    Crazy to see another Everworld fan. I loved that series, but never got the last book. I should see if I can find it.

    I've been searching at local used bookstores and haven't had any luck. I remember picking it up because my family was going on a trip somewhere and had my Game Boy taken away for it. I devoured the first 3 books instead of doing any trip stuff. I vaguely remember the story but somehow really remember the ending.

    Animorphs is the book series that taught me what war crimes and PTSD were without using either of those phrases specifically. It's crazy that I read it as a child, but it honestly helped me understand my dad a bit better.
