everyone who’s like “jkr didn’t write hp! i did!”: do u really want to be the person who decided werewolfism was an aids allegory and who decided to write in a werewolf whose express purpose in the series was to hunt down and infect children? do u want to be that person?

“jkr sucks! dan radcliffe wrote hp!” so u want dan to be the one who came up with the name cho chang and made all of the non white characters be largely incorrect racial stereotypes?

“screw jkr! hermionie wrote the books!” so u want hermionie to be the one who made hook nosed jewish caricatures in charge of all the money?

jkr’s bigotry is baked into the pages of those books. i know that’s hard to live with. it’s hard for me too. but there’s no way to separate art from the artist and, yes, even our favorite book series should be looked at through a critical lens.
