This quote doesn't even make any sense. Apathy is not the opposite of empathy.

Because she's really not a good author. The morals in Harry Potter are basic and inconsistent.

You have to remember. This is a woman who argued in her book series for literal children that opposing slavery makes you a crazy person.

The inconsistent part was when there was a whole subplot about Dobby wanting freedom and the reader sympathizing with that character. Then later, JK writing that Dobby was a weirdo for wanting that.

Shaun's comment that JK keeps threatening to make the story interesting was such a good stinger.

Yes, I would also put antipathy in opposition, but maybe I am just a better writer.

Edit: it really is just a wish.com variant of the MLK Jr. quote about the words of our enemies — something, something — not as bad as the silence of our friends.
