The issue I have with this line of reasoning is that there are equally whimsical, better written series that just didn’t have good fortune to pop off the way HP did.
It’s marketing. And cover art. And simple timing of fads. It sucks. And it funded a horrible person through pure happenstance
Don’t need to meet a person to know they’re a horrible person. I know Orban is a horrible person. I know Chris Brown is a horrible person. I know Trump is a horrible person. And I know that anyone who defends them is a horrible person, for ignoring their horrible views and actions.
It seems best to disregard them entirely, since from a quick skim of their profile it looks like they really enjoy this kind of “I’m so aloof that means I’m clever” trolling.
My theory is that he was an angry fucked up guy. The rest is rationalization and power.
(The first gives the anger form. The second turns an anonymous crank into a global threat. Consider all the people here who say different things yet seem to be always singing the same song. Consider what would happen if you gave the average angry fucked up guy a billion dollar budget, a giant propaganda machine and an army. Consider what would happen if a cute little mouse grew to the size of a skyscraper)
But you know what, get a few drinks into him in a bar and he was probably pretty chill.
Rule of cool supersedes making sense. Yeah there’s a ton of nonsense, but you called it yourself, it’s fun. That’s all that matters.

Horrible person?
I never met her actually. What’s she like in person?

Funny, I need to meet them first. Maybe you just like doing it more.
I see. So anything you have not personally experienced is to be disregarded entirely?

It’s to be taken lightly.
So you’re saying you don’t believe Hitler was a Nazi anti-semite, because you never met him?

No matter the veracity of the information?
A person is very very large, deep and complex.
A bunch of words, even words of great veracity, are just a tiny cartoon.
To judge a large deep complex thing by a tiny cartoon is absurd.
(Unless you really want to judge of course. But that’s another matter)
None of us have met you, and yet…
And yet you see a golden opportunity to indulge. Grasp it!
Hush.
No really. A fine opportunity to hate stands before you. No matter that your justification is slim, who needs that? Jump on it like a big vampire.
Fun and atmospheric. Kids love it and that’s ok.
More than fun. It’s whimsical.
She’s a terrible person. I read the books to my kids but they are puarated so she doesn’t get a penny. Same for the movies.
