      Heh yeah you beat me to unpacking this That's the real ugliness of the escapism here, right Because Harry Potter being a wizard HIMSELF is pretty irrelevant; he spends most of the series being textually mediocre at it, his abilities never really matter The magic doesn't matterhttps://twitter.com/TheNotoriousRBF/status/1307710560469909504 …

      Replying to @TheNotoriousRBF @Nymphomachy
      It's basically "Actually, you're a princess". It's not even "Through trials and tribulations and [admittedly sexist] virtues, you have become a princess".

      People have written AUs where Harry Potter is born a squib (and winds up going to Hogwarts anyway, because of his Harry Potter privilege) and one thing they really lay bare about the series is that Harry's superpower isn't that he's a wizard; it's just that he's royalty

      Vonnegut wrote in SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE that the great narrative failure of the story of the crucifixion is presented not as the Romans having tortured an innocent person to death, but as them having foolishly tortured the WRONG person to death ...The subtext with the Dursleys

      HARRY POTTER never really challenges the idea that it is *wrong* for adults to treat children the way that the Dursleys treated Harry It just suggests that they treated *him* wrongly because they knew he was from a biologically superior caste and resented that superiority

      Harry, himself, never really has a thought like "there are muggle children being treated like I was all over the UK and they'll never have an owl from a wizard to take them away from it" He doesn't give a fuck They probably deserve it; trash kids deserve trash parents, right

      Okay to be slightly fair to JKR this is the entire point of her charity Lumos, like that's literally what she said when she described it

      Lumos seems pretty shady to me in general

      Nicholson, btw, got into this issue by adopting a war orphan from Iraq (Gulf War 1 in 1991), which didn't stop her at all from fiercely supporting the second US war on Iraq in 2003
