I struggle to imagine JK Rowling resisting the rise of the Nazis if she was a prominent figure during that time.
She would be far more likely to write an offshoot Harry Potter book about a nice Hitler Youth Camp where a noble and pure blonde hair blued eyed boy took the heroic choice of not attending Wizard School even though he was a wizard in order to support his country and join the Hitler Youth. Antics ensue in this fun and lighthearted romp through racial purity after a secret cabal of jews infilitrate Hogwarts to sabotage it and the perfect white boy must save the Wizard School with his newly found friends!
I mean, the Malfoys were literal nazis, and she made them clearly the bad guys in her books. Where was the breakdown in her self-awareness that led her down the “racial purity” rabbit hole herself?
She literally wrote a plot line in Fantastic Beasts about how it would be bad for wizards to stop the Nazis when they had the chance.
Grindelwald predicted another world war, and was attempting to rally wizards to abandon their no-intervention stance and prevent the war before it happened. Literally showed an image of the Holocaust and said he wanted to stop it. The “good guys” then stopped him.
In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.
In this context, sure. But it’s also valuable to keep in touch with such people because once all bridges are burned, there is no way back. This is for people you knew before. JK is seeking out contact with them so it’s a different story.
Wow! Such a slippery slope! What about the exclusive private box I use to watch Sports Team that I have access to because I happen to know a Nazi who is generous?
You are going to probably scream I AM the Nazi now when all I do is go to cocktail parties with them and honestly I don’t even talk to them about that stuff I am there for business deals, what is this moral panic about?
Look don’t get mad I am just trying to feed my family…

Very easy to imagine Rowling as a British Nationalist who would say we need to kill all the Nazis and then say we need to kill all the Russians and Kenyans and Indian nationalists and anyone else who crosses the UK.
I could see her doing the “Hilter and Gandhi both need to die” speech.
She’s a British supremacist. The only people who get to do fascism are the ones working out of an office in London.

Media literacy is not a strong suit for conservatives, even when it is their own media it seems.
Reminds me of Orson Scott Card and Ender’s Game. Another person whose political beliefs seem so antithetical to key messages conveyed by their book.

Yeah, I literally commented about this like yesterday. For more reasons why she sucks ass, check out Shaun’s video on Harry Potter
Fascists are suffocatingly predictable lol
She literally allies herself with Nazis because they share her TERF beliefs. In my book, if your friends are Nazis, you’re a Nazi.

“If 9 people sit at a table with 1 Nazi, youve got 10 Nazis”. Not sure who I’m quoting.

…of diverse financial investments.
the boy in the striped robes
His mum gave him that armband.

Well yeah but that is just being a Nazi while being on a different team superficially, you are still a Nazi!
