This might be the most brain-wormed book ever written. Grievances against socialists, plastinians, trans-people and hezbollah(?). When I was a kid Harry Potter was my favorite book-series. What a disaster

    You know, I've read the HP books within the last 5 years (pls no reeducation camp) and I don't remember her writing being this awful and stilted. I guess it's really true that hate and bigotry rots your brain.

    I love how the Jeremy Corbyn character is somehow both a Trot and a Maoist, two tendencies that famously get along well.

    I mean she called her one token Asian Hogwarts student Cho Chong. She's got a bit of a habit for doing zero research whatsoever.

    It is absolutely amazing how silent Labour is to any bigotry if it spoken from a rich enough mouth.

    Yeah it is. I mean I know fuck all about Chinese naming customs etc. But if I were writing a story and wanted to include a chinese character I would do some basic research and not pick a name that sounds like a character from a deeply unfunny racist comedy show circa 1970

    I don't recall Harry Potter's prose being that painful. Geez, was the Casual Vacancy and her other adult books the turning point where her prose goes bad or something?

    i think maybe part of it is the subject matter.

    "... find harry," ron bellowed in hermiones ear, pressing a wand into her hand, [as] they edged out of the room again into rons own bedroom, which seemed even smaller than it really was because every inch of the walls and ceiling had been covered in magical flyers and posters, the orange of idksomewizardshit and the black and red of broomsticksportballteam predominating.

    when youre reading about wizards zippity zapping each other with big red sparkles, you tend to be a bit more forgiving of the language
