    She spends chapters of her childrens book making fun of a girl for trying to end chattel slavery of elves. A girl who she then retconned as Black in her spinoff play.

    People who separate art from the artist really don’t want to recognize the art either.

      The book ends with Harry becoming a cop and a slave owner.

      The establishment blatantly discriminating against people who aren’t wizards or different species is never addressed, everything just goes back to the status quo and all is well.

      No wonder liberals are so obsessed with it.
