I read the books this year because I wanted to feel pain, basically, and I wanted to be justified in disliking Harry Potter. I was not disappointed. However, I still don’t understand how the fuck the end of the book worked. It was so harebrained and convoluted and sloppy as fuck that I don’t know what actually happened. Am I stupid or was it a bad ending? And what the fuck happened? How did they actually kill Voldemort?
if you write a book that captures the imagination of millions of kids and doesn’t contain your ideology in it
You’re not wrong about a lot of the hatred of the books being overblown, but they ABSOLUTELY contain Rowling’s ideology in them
