The issue was HP trying to fully become that dark epic fantasy adventure when it transitioned to the later books, and revealed JKR's limits as a writer and the limits of the setup she created without knowing where it was gonna go

Much like when shitty Star Wars fans revolted over The Last Jedi and its explicit message of "Look a mature understanding of good and evil shouldn't revolve around icons and branding" Icons and branding are the business

We will always run into disappointments because it's the people who obviously could afford to alienate all their fans and stop making money because they're already so famous who *won't do that*

You and I are the same wavelength as always Arthur; I think it's a shame the series didn't end with the walls between both worlds crumbling down. I hope someday someone beats me to the punch writing an article about this. ;)

Looking at it that way, it’s even worse in that the seeds were there. The Ministry is incompetent, Snape is complex but not really misunderstood or “good”, many authority figures suck in various human ways, Aurors turn out to largely be useless Then Harry winds up an Auror

Yeah so I used to just be like "Harry being an Auror is just genre tropes, it's this lazy default to make being a good guy synonymous with being a cop" But the existence of the Cormoran Strike series makes me retroactively go "Okay no you were right JKR really is pro-cop irl"
