This is why I really appreciate Shaun’sextendedvideo essay on HarryPotterand J.K. Rowling. He goes into depth on the whole series, comparing the books and movies, and how the story develops (or doesn’t develop) over the seven novels.
And he shows how the J.K. Rowling actually is a poor writer, how her books are actually lazily written, and it’s not just because we don’t agree with her politics, anymore.
