There’s a certain cold, heartless, joy-sucking entity in the world of Harry Potter and, this time, it is not actually a Dementor. Yes, we’re talking about J.K. Rowling, and no, we don’t like that we’re giving her more publicity, so that’s the last you’ll see of her name in this post. We’ll just stick with You-Know-Who because they’re close enough in character.

    Trying to ignore the most successful modern fantasy series, and the most successful by far by a female author, is a very political choice for a museum to make.

    They can like it or not but Harry Potter absolutely made history.

    I wonder if they would remove HP Lovecraft’s books because he was a racist which absolutely shows in his novels.

      Im not sure. No objection to your JK thing, but you don’t need to represent lgbt in everything. The books were written at a time where there wasn’t a big movement and active representation, and there is nothing wrong with that.

      I don’t recall the fat shaming, but disagree with the bigotry and the racial stereotypes I see are “rich white man is a prick”.
