I will legit defend JKR's original manuscript that made her famous That the reason Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone went viral is that it feels like a goofy silly kid's adventure but has surprisingly dark undertones and the ending is surprisingly deephttps://twitter.com/OwenAdamsYT/status/1272294783147560960 …

Harry Potter was a paradoxical victim of its success here I think Who knows what would've happened in the alternate reality where HP was only a middlingly successful series But in our world, it was a billion-dollar franchise that had a brand to maintain

It couldn't end on "What if Hogwarts is bad, actually? What if the wizarding world is bad, actually? What if the Every Flavor Beans were a fucking stupid distraction from a rotten society, actually?" Because then you couldn't have a theme park selling the fantasy of those things

The wisest point of the series IMO, despite all the cracks beginning to show elsewhere, was the book 4 ending showing that the best choice you can make can also wind up being the worst one Then next book she re-orphaned Harry instead of killing Arthur. Just out of her depth
