    If it makes you feel any better there tons of video essays tearing the series apart. It’s not particularly genius, very little if any of what she did was original and from the very beginning it was chocked full of racism, antisemitism, fatphobia and ablelism.

    Also that’s an insult to colonoscopies, as they’re important and save lives.

      I’m not saying the books are genius, I’m saying the move to write the books for a specific generation is genius. Like most books in a series will be written all in the same style. The HP books were written to ‘grow up’ along with the people who were reading them. That idea and tactic was genius. Literally nothing else.
