      Yes If she had actually had the courage to do that -- to make the euphoric joy of Book 1 turn retroactively into a vicious lie -- that would've been the correct ending to the series The series would've legit been great literature, revolutionary for its impact on culture

      But alas, she did not That was the book she had the *potential* to write and the person she had the *potential* to become But the depressing JK Rowling story is that she simply fell short, she didn't have the gas in the tank

      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

      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*

      Because nothing makes you feel like you need another billion dollars than making your first billion, and -- I think even more powerfully and corrosively -- nothing makes you feel like you need another million adoring gushing fan emails like getting your first million

      (And, moreover, if you get a creator who *does* deliberately make choices to alienate the fans, the fans have the power to directly resist and push back Petitions and harassment and calling to speak to your manager And we should be worried about that)

      To be honest, it's only a slightly magical variation on what all schools in Australia & (I assume this where it's from) UK do. You're assigned a house for sport and academic achievement and your behaviour/wins gives points to the house & one of the houses wins each year

      Well, I dunno how it works exactly in the UK and Australia today so I won't push that point I guess It does seem like this old-school British boarding school "rivalry" stuff goes way over the top, like Slytherin actively being the "evil" house

          JKR exaggerates reality a little bit, but not that much. The part she adds is the hat somehow magically knows your personality, hence Slytherin stereotypes. In Australia, most school kids who aren't particularly sporty treat the whole house system as a bit of a joke/annoyance.
