Like it's not that Rowling doesn't have any talent whatsoever; I don't think anyone is wholly without ability to tell a story. But there are passages where she gets genuinely into her material, and there's transparent filler cruft where this sort of thing occurs.

Like, it's telling that the worst thing about the Death Eater regime in Deathly Hallows is *falsely accusing Muggleborn wizards of just being Muggles* "Who did you steal that wand from? Whose magic have you been leeching off of?" etc
-
And that obviously shouldn't be presented as the worst thing they do The worst thing is how they treat ACTUAL Muggles - and Squibs - who ACTUALLY can't do magic The fact that a Muggle is helpless to stop anything a wizard wants to do to them should be a horrifying injustice

I just felt like that was her wanting to somehow tie in the Love Actually universe, for some reason.

Does JKR read like a race realist? Well, she’s a T*RF, so those seem likely views. Even without Cho Chang, the goblins, etc.

Frankly it always struck me as creepy that the villains are supposedly all anti-muggle and yet Harry's antics with the Dursleys were always framed as hilarious and wholly deserved comeuppance with ZERO self-awareness.

In hindsight the thing where Hagrid tries to turn Dudley into a pig is really really fucking not okay

I have no idea where the hell she was going with that idea and I don't particularly care to find out
