my stance on harry potter is that even beyond jk rowling being an awful human, it's just not very good. It is a straight-up "okay" piece of literature that's heavily derivative and very neoliberal-coded and its success comes almost entirely from being in the right place at the right time

hey, I was born in the 80s or 90s and I'm looking for a morally acceptable way to continue to like Harry Potter?? you see, I have this special condition where I just... stopped. somewhere along the way, i let the growth inside me die and i gnawed a hole in the past, and there i sit, and there i rot

Sometimes, when someone dies, what helps me is thinking about how wonderful it is that they were even alive in the first place. Dolly was the closest you could get to an American saint. We all loved her.

while she's certainly a malicious bigot with active intent to make the lives of trans people worse, i'm skeptical of theories that require JKR herself to mastermind any kind of coherent multi-year plot against us. i read those last few books, she's not capable of that
