    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?

      Harry names one of his kids after Draco because Draco does one decent thing at the end of book 7 and that is enough to make him no longer be a reprehensible, racist fuckwad in the eyes of J.K. and a lot of her audience

        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 especially the sequels, he wrote two further books with Ender that the main message is genocide is bad, like really really bad.
