The worst is, that she feels validated in her hateful opinions by the money she makes.

Glad to not see the usual “separate the art from the artist” crowd that can’t stop giving her money to continue to be a fucking plague on humanity.

Most of them do, gladly. They just want to save face by saying they disagree with her.

What always gets me about those people is if it’s real art, the artist is putting their message into the story. When I was young and in the target demographic, I stopped reading halfway through because the message of the story was getting confusing or annoying. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a main character get more selfish in their character arc. I later found out that Harry’s solution to owning a house with severed heads everywhere was to put doilies over them during the holidays.
The books are bad and where probably only tolerable in the beginning because of the editor.

Duuude. You put it so well. They fell off hard after Goblet of Fire, not that the cracks weren’t showing before

Unpopular opinion, Voldemort is a boring villain with puddle deep motives. He should never have survived the first book.
