Bummer jk Rowling never made sense

I think the world building in the Harry Potter series is awful. The rules don't make internally consistent sense, and the society that came up around those rules also don't make sense within the motivations of how people behave in that society.

It’s so obvious that she was coming up with shit as she went along.

The Deathly Hallows were a huge asspull. Trying to make an overarching story was a mistake, the story worked best when it was “monster of the week” standard children’s fare. That kind of format can tolerate the “I’m going to introduce something new that should have wider consequences and then forget about it immediately afterwards” problems (Time Turners, Legilimency, polyjuice potions, love potions…)
