Yeah, but she’s not a character. She’s the name of an author on a book which is mentioned *once*, in passing. Like mentions of Merlin, Paracelus, and Nicholas Flamel, the name is there to add color and depth, not to promote occultism. Which you’d know if you read the books instead of flawed internet critiques.

I once read a critique that said Rowling was racist because she had a villian named Black; which proved the reviewer hadn’t bothered to read the book he was reviewing. Most of these so-called reviews are the same.

Don't forget those nappy headed ho-cruxes.

I’ve know about Madam Blavatsky for quite some time. I was surprised to find a reference to her in HP. She was a truly evil woman.

But there’s no “real occultism” in HP - right?

Not even references.
