It pisses me off so bad that JK Rowling had to be a fucking transphobic racist piece of shit. This is me off to an extreme extent because she is a fucking genius author when it comes to one thing. She chose one generation and then wrote a story specifically for that generation, having the writing style get older with the generation. And then she wasted it by being a horrible, bigoted piece of shit and filling the story with the same type of garbage. Like credit where credit is due. That one thing that she did is fucking genius. But she had to ruin it by being herself. Goddammit.
For the record, I’m not saying she’s the only one to have done this or anything, but doing that and capturing that type of magic for a child will easily become an important part of that person’s life. She could have told so many amazing stories and morals to help people be a better person as they grew up and she didn’t. Fucking colonoscopy of a human.
If it makes you feel any better there tons of video essays tearing the series apart. It’s not particularly genius, very little if any of what she did was original and from the very beginning it was chocked full of racism, antisemitism, fatphobia and ablelism.
Also that’s an insult to colonoscopies, as they’re important and save lives.
I’m not saying the books are genius, I’m saying the move to write the books for a specific generation is genius. Like most books in a series will be written all in the same style. The HP books were written to ‘grow up’ along with the people who were reading them. That idea and tactic was genius. Literally nothing else.

Eh, she spoke to a bunch of people hungry for mid fantasy. She’s not very good at it, just lucked out on timing.
Get some Pratchett in ya, now THERE is a writer who put good into the world
Her editor was very good. As the books went on and JK got veto power over her editor, the books got worse and more problematic.

Man, I feel exactly the same about loving wrap dresses. Bitch who popularized them was nearly as bad as Rowling.
