    Actually, a wizard wouldn’t need the trans prefix.

    Because they would simply be able to change their biosex with a spell.

    As should be their right.

      Is wizard a gender?

    Also, can we talk about how excessively influential the Harry Potter series is in the magic/witchcraft fantasy genre, despite actually having subpar plots, characters, and especially worldbuilding compared to other, less popular works?

    Like, Harry Potter is the first character people think of when you say “wizard” or “magic wand”, even though he probably doesn’t deserve to be.

        Earthsea series by Ursula LeGuinn is pretty excellent as a fantasy children’s series. Less traditional “wizards and witches” but better written and way better politics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthsea

      Harry Potter is the kind of book that I would recommend to a very young child who is starting to read novels. But I fully agree with you.
