    The books and films meant a lot to a lot of people, and I can’t blame people for loving the world she created for them.

    I don’t regret having read the books and seen the films. But I’m also done with her and will never give her money again.

      The books message seems at odds with what she is now. I think her position on trans rights was challenged, and she dug in, and was attacked harder, and she joined those that supported her, and was thrown into extremism. That said it seem she was epstein friendly before all of this, so, wtf.

        Voldemort got the giants on his side by promising them equal rights. The end of the book says “and all was well” because Voldemort was defeated, but what about the giants? Why didn’t anyone help the giants?

          The giants were genocided by the good guys that first forced them into ghettos and starved them, bombed them regularly, then came in with overwhelming force and killed their civilians, none of that wokery to get in the way like in real world situations where the libs are all like you can’t wipe millions of people off the the face of the earth. /s

          I say because she’s apparently buddy buddy with Israel intelligence agent extrodinaire, the great honeypot.

            During the American civil war, slavers said if slaves were freed, they’d sit around all day getting drunk instead of working. When Rowling wrote the house elf Winky, Winky was freed and then sat around all day getting drunk on butterbeer. Why did Rowling put pro-slavery propaganda in a children’s book?
