In the Harry Potter universe, why are love potions...

In the Harry Potter universe, why are love potions, a potion which allows you to literally rape someone you desire against their will, openly sold in joke shops to school pupils?

It's an equalizer that women can also give to men, therefore not rape. Plus it's all dressed up to look cutesy.

They are a watered down version that only slightly tingles the heart. Real love potions are illegal

*geta caught spiking a drink*
Lol it was only a prank xD

You could also cook up a potion to make you look like a different person. Want to fuck someone's wife/gf? Just pretend to be their husband.

Is there a potion that will make a girl pee on you? I want that potion

Because no divine goddess exist in the universe so nobody would ever care to go to such lengths.

they are probably just horny juice, not actually mind altering

Why did they allow kids to buy literal rape potions in the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Seriously each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

a-at least the books were good though

"No!" The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

Because Rowling was writing a book for kids and she wasn't actually that great of a writer for people who scratch just beyond the surface
