Did she though? It was racist, antisemitic, anti irish, fatphobic, ableist, already very gender binary and weird about genitals etc.
We don't get why people think "the world she created" was actually good.

Pretty insightful for someone like me who didn't grow up with HP, to hear from this perspective. It's easy for me to reject Rowling and boycott her work, since I have no emotional attachment to her worlds or characters. I often struggle talking to younger fans who have to separate her from their strong connection to her books. It really does seem like she's built a wall between the lessons she wrote about and her hideous transphobia.
