“I have to admire someone who can literally dream up an entire genre.”
Don’t give her too much credit. Change a boy protagonist to a girl protagonist and wizards to witches and you have the basic plot to “The Worst Witch”, an old young adult movie from the 80s.
The Harry Potter series was well-written. She made her money honestly, but has since spent her time trying to break out of her self-constructed prison. Her “adult” books were pathetic attempts to prove how far she could diverge from the children’s genre. For someone so brilliant, she has proven to be her own worst enemy. She’ll die a miserable misanthrope since she can’t find contentment in any situation. Poor leftists are bereft when they stare at the naked nihilism at the end of their path.
