I grew up with the LotR and ASoIaF series, so I never dig the HP. Afaik, the writer projects her right-wing worldviews onto the series, like using stereotypical names for the characters.
One of the characters, Hermione, gets mocked for being anti-slavery and the book says that she’s wrong for her beliefs because the slaves like being slaves.
Rowling then retroactively implied that Hermione could be a black woman.
I hadn't heard about this, but this somehow makes the four books' worth of mocking her for her hair texture even worse.
Oh, and Draco Malfoy was obviously given a forced redemption. The wizard Nick Fuentes, and the dursleys, a family of skinhead trash later on were also framed as just misunderstood.
Snape’s redemption is even more pathetic.
Wizarding Nazi who called the woman he lusted for the Wizarding n-word, treated the son of said woman like absolute shit and abused schoolkids and then it’s posthumously revealed that he was actually a double agent purely because the Wizarding Nazis killed the woman mentioned previously and not because he had any kind of morals whatsoever.
But it's so romantic to obsess over someone who rejected you for very good reasons for decades. /s
Also she shot down the actually interesting theory that because Harry was a horcrux he corrupted the dursleys. Which would have it's own problems but at least would have been an interesting twist.
Nick Fuentes is (surprisingly) a grown adult, the HP characters are kids. I'm not even sure they're 18 by the time the series ends. A 16-year-old who was raised by wizard supremacists can absolutely still redeem himself.
She is also a major backer of anti-trans campaigning in the UK. Like, people defending that they still are into HP always say "i'm not on twitter, idk what she says on there", but JKR's transphobia isn't about her having nuclear takes online anymore, she is at the point were she pumps money into hate groups going on trial to erode trans rights. Successfully, too, the last two cases she funded first led to trans women no longer being legally recognized as women and then a trans woman being sentenced to 2 years in a man's prison for consensually blowing a guy without telling him she was trans. She's also connected to about every single major transphobe in the UK personally at this point, she's basically the figurehead of the movement there.
She and fellow TERF Graham Linehan have also directly encouraged violence and the invasion of privacy against not just trans people, but anyone a person even suspects might be trans.
Rowling is also a Holocaust denier and has outright denied the fact that trans people were persecuted in Nazi Germany. She is one of the defining reasons myself and other genderqueer people’s lives are being made miserable where I live.
Yeah there's an Asian girl named Cho Chang and a black guy named Shacklebolt. Reads like South Park sometimes
Don't forget the Irish kid named Seamus Finnigan who's constantly blowing stuff up.
Honestly HBO would be better off adapting something like the First Law trilogy, burning money on Harry Potter sucks.
