    It is amazing, the very first paragraph of the first Harry Potter book is JKR dunking on the Dursley family for being boring narrow-minded affluent white picket fence nobodies Like the whole "wizard school" metaphor is her earnestly thinking on some level she was above all thathttps://twitter.com/FreyjaErlings/status/1266417145732268033 …

        And it turns out, nah Like a lot of "creative class" middle class cishet white people all of this stuff was just running away from the fact that she is ordinary Ordinary prejudices, ordinary hang-ups, ordinary blindspots, ordinary petty selfishness

        (This comes out a LOT HARDER in her book The Silkworm, which, aside from being ragingly transphobic, just simmers with contempt for all her fellow writers and publishing professionals she desperately wants to believe she's different from and better than)

        On reflection, the fact one of the first things that Harry learns is that he's rich as fuck is... Kinda telling... As is the fact that Harry is rich is really just an incidental detail that's rarely brought up...

        As is the fact she basically wrote a story where poor people LOVE this rich kid who never helps them financially and in fact REFUSE it.

        Its a fantasy of being welcomed into an aristocracy where you finally have yours and are important and essential and literally never have to think about a real life thing again Disease, poverty, racism, sexual exploitation all things of the past Only wizard problems now

        Every English person despises the people below them on the class ladder, and the Dursleys are a caricature of lower- to middle-middle Englishfolk, so of course Rowling ("chattering" classes, i.e. upper-middle) has nothing but contempt for them and draws them as *the worst*.

        Uncle Vernon is a director of a drill manufacturing company, so while he’s not secretly rich with tons of gold coins in the bank like Harry, he’s at least upper middle class in terms of income, if not in the class conscious way some Brits figure things.
