>Harry Potter would have voted for Nick Clegg
At what point did you realise she was a hack?

Like page one. Didn't like the prose. Didn't like the pure plot-energy. Even as a kid that just couldn't draw me.
I imagine a universe in which her book was never succesful but she did somehow find a way to piss of frogposters and after that her book got succesful
Like how Anita Sarkeeshian came out of nothing just by triggering the gamer community alone
I.e. antifragile
But my concern is that this triggering, which enhances the spread of people who trigger, is making the whole intellectual world more and more plebian

Imagine trying to emotionally manipulate millenials by conscripting their favourite childhood character to serve your own political agenda

15 years ago when I was 10 and wondering why this garbage needed to have so many pages.
None of the characters in the series showed any interest in politics what so ever

That's right, that didn't stop her whipping out Hermione in the Scottish independence vote, Ron in the 2010 election and Harry in the Brexit vote

>Hermione in the Scottish independence vote
When did she do this? I remember her shilling for Better Together but I don't remember her using her Harry Potter shit to do it.

not true, hermione was an insufferable abolitionist (particularly funny because rowling portrayed it as an annoying obsession nobody gave a shit about)

This dumb cunt is so pro-refugee and no borders but look at her own work. You need magic and shit just to get into the wizard world so no muggles allowed.
Even fucking Hogwarts had borders and security against people coming in. Hypocritical cunt.

You mean children's author. Find a more interesting way to be worthless and stupid.

>I have zero to contribute to the world around me so I go and make this thread again.
>I'm also somehow pompous about it.

for a children's author she's good. for obvious reasons she's gotten more popularity than she deserves and it has gone to her head. but she was good at what she did and what she accomplished

>From an outside perspective, Harry Potter is a funny fantasy for liberals to cohere around. Going off to centuries-old boarding school where your mum and dad were Head Boy and Head Girl, where tolerance and broadmindedness consists of admitting that lower-class Muggles can occasionally have the same genetically-mediated gifts as the gentry, where the greatest possible action for a woman is to let herself be slain so her son can grow up to revenge himself on her killer, where ignorance of the supernatural is a form of willful self-delusion,a pathetic blindness to the real forces that move the world, where all the kids eat Merry Olde England foods like Roast Beef and Kidney Pie and Yorkshire Pudding all the time, all sounds more reactionary than progressive. But if contemporary liberalism is the ideology of imperial academia, funneled through media and non-profits and governmental agencies but responsible ultimately only to itself, the obsession with Harry Potter makes a lot more sense.
