It's interesting that everyone reacts by attacking Spengler.

The central theme of this article by Spengler is the decline of our civilization as evidenced by the narcissistic characters in the fiction we read. This topic has been flogged to death for as long as there has been civilization to discuss it, but usually not in such a tiresome and ponderous manner.

Such snobbishness invites criticism in return, and in this instance the criticism is deserved.

It is also interesting that no one is trying to defend Potter beyond "It is a kids book!".
