She can't keep consistent with her dates and how long ago things were
She had good ideas but is a bad author
Not wanting to defend Rowling, since she's an evil and hateful person, but there's many great authors who fall foul of basic arithmetic. I would argue that they are completely separate skills; TV Tropes has a good list. (Also, I'd argue that most of her good ideas were taken from someone else.)
