      You’ve apparently never met or known any kind of fiction author if you’re calling JKR lazy and ignorant based on this. Most fiction authors have nothing to do with history. They are making. Stuff. Up. And you just called her an idiot for naming a magical spell something.

      Fiction writer here. Would you like the bibliography of all the books & journal articles I'm currently reading to research my current novel? It's nearly as long as the one I had for my MA. Lazy, bad writers just "make stuff up." The rest of us give a shit.

      It’s not lazy or bad to make shit up. It’s storytelling. The amount of research you put in is relevant to your audience, not you as a writer. Writers write stuff. Some audiences want N research. Some want n+100. Some don’t care.

      But she didn't just "make shit up," she used a real-life word from a real-life culture, mangled its definition, then tried to pass it off as something she'd researched. There'd be no problem if she just made up a word of her own.

      You JKR stans have to make up your minds about her: either she's this meticulous, erudite genius, or she's some half-assed shlub who just slaps down any old thing any old way. You don't get to claim she's simultaneously both.

      How about she’s a fiction author that makes stuff up, and if you want to read it, you can, but if you don’t, you don’t have to. Picking at shoddy research is itself shoddy. You don’t read about a made up fantasy world to learn about the real world if you are a reasonable person.

      The quote about how "Alohomora" is a "word from the West African dialect of Sidiki that means 'favorable to thieves'" was not in Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone itself, it is a quote from a testimony she gave in court that was widely reported by the media

      That bit of posturing was not, itself, fiction, even if it was *about* fiction It was very much nonfiction, and therefore inaccurate nonfiction -- it was a lie, even if it wasn't a deliberate lie It's JK Rowling spreading misinformation and making the world more ignorant
