Upon re-reading the novels, it's hard not to see the author's traditionalist, gender-conformist mindset. 

Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.

Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to take the power I gave her back, and this is it.

For children who have yet to be jaded by the world, this book will remain a staple.

As a nonbinary person, FUCK JKR 

I read these books when I was younger, and I fell head over heels for them. This world means so much to me, and communities I’ve formed through it truly got me through high school. When JKR started being transphobic it began to spur my relationship with the books, and I’ve been separate from them for a while. But I didn’t want her to control what I loved, and recently I’ve made a friend who reinvigorated my love for this world, so I’m rereading it and rediscovering what made it so special. I just wish JKR could see those messages too.

Would have liked to see more character depth and a more fleshed out magic system. Tbh I could write an essay on why the first two books of this series are the weakest. Also fuck TERFS.
