  1. [JK Rowling's] position in the culture is kind of weirdly split right because on the one hand there's her continuing legacy as the author of The Wizard books and on the other hand there's like almost her entire public persona that which we mostly experienced through Twitter which is basically obsessive bigotry towards trans people that's become sort of her definitive thing.

  3. Yes, it's like, it's so good right? And everybody loves it so you don't say it much. [...] it kind of provides a source of comfort, like nostalgia. That's really interesting angle on it, you don't think about how many kids have legitimately grown up with the Harry Potter series, that's amazing!

  4. Tell me if you can relate to this. You were an avid reader of fiction as a kid. The Harry Potter series, The Hunger Games, Bobby Pendragon, Percy Jackson. You ate them like ice cream, you drank them like water in summertime after running around at the park. You would spend hours in your bedroom, in another world, in another universe. I was one of those kids.

  5. I don't think any one of the books are Amazing, but the sum total of the entire Harry Potter story line and universe is. 5/5
