    Oh do shut up. I’m a big Harry Potter fan (or at least used to be), and part of a well known group of fans, but at least we all have the decency to be thoroughly pissed off by the woman. If you love Potter so much, how come you missed the message of the books (don’t be a bigot) and the current behaviour of their writer (a bigot)?

    PS Dickens was a misogynist and Dahl was a racist and anti-semite. But we can’t criticise them because they’re good authors?

      Anonymous criticism is lhe least effort contribution to the conversation. Playing your part in the outrage mob takes the least intelligence, the least insight. So when you do that, when you shout in chorus with the rest of the mob like that, conforming like that, you show yourself to be very very small. Like a crawling worm.

      And when you get out there and put the best you’ve got into a piece of art that blows the minds of an entire generation, you show yourself to be very very large. Like a soaring eagle.

      And for a worm to criticise an eagle is absurd.

        The lady who came up with the “slavery is good actually” race of people isn’t who I would call an Eagle.

        You simply love the taste of boot. Sycophants are some of the dumbest people to exist, yet you happily place yourself there…

        Have fun being that which you hate: a worm.
