    To be fair that description covers a fair few characters that have been fleshed out in the fanon over the years. Was Daphne ever actually mentioned past the sorting? Yet this is the first time I even remember hearing about ol Lisa.

    Which surely makes it even weirder that someone's only comment is that she's supposed to be an ugly bitch?

    Turpin sure sounds like an ugly bitch. :<

    Was Lisa Turpin physically and psychologically described in the books?
    I don't remember.

    Was there not a story called something like 'Whatever happened to Lisa Turpin?' or some other never again mentioned first year? Where Harry notices there is a girl missing from one of the houses that was sorted with him but when he asks about her nobody remembers her ever being there? I think I remember more than that but I don't want to mention it because If I remember rightly it had quite a neat little ending.

    The Strange Disappearance of SallyAnne Perks, and yeah, the ending was quite excellent in my opinion.

    As said literally five posts above yours, no. She gets named in the first Sorting, and then never even mentioned again.

    Lisa Turpin is canonically bisexual, but we don't know what she looks like.

    This was one of those questions that aren't meant to be answered.

    Passionate but non specific. I'd bet it's a pre-prepared thing they copy/paste at will.

    Or that, yeah. Anyhow, props for imaginative (I try to avoid using the word 'creative' in this instance) use of language. Your thought considered, though, I am now wondering if there is such a thing as a review insult generator somewhere on the internet.

    2018 revival!

    This is not the typical terrible review in the manner of terrible English. A recent review from Contractual Invalidation:
    Contractual tends to bring people like this out of the woodwork, but this guy is one of the few that not only thinks that way, but also straight up says it. The sheer delusion and arrogance it takes for someone to claim to know how human relationships work, and blanket them in generalization, never ceases to amaze me.

    Heaven forbid that fundamentally different people be able to find middle ground without anyone compromising their core selves, right?

    In case there was any ambiguity, here's this guy clarifying:
    Gosh darn gee, thank you for sharing your insight gained through all your 14 years of life. I'll be sure to let the rest of the world know that they're all supposed to fit this one mold of people.

    Posted the first chapter of my HP/ME piece. Got this gem anonymously as the first response:

    I really feel like I'm stepping up in the world when I get my insults tailored to me.

    Taking a look at Contractual Invalidation, it really is a goldmine of stupid reviews.

    I could swear I've seen the name "G Fawkes" before.

    Sounds like it might have been one of the accounts of that one wanker.
