It's in her HP books. The editor just tampered it down, but you can still see it now that we have a pattern. It's why I hate the people who say, "hate the artist, but love the art" bullshit. The art is bad as well and I'm proud I bailed on that series half way though.
I like the comparison of Harry Potter to Lord of the Rings that points out Harry Potter was a very special, perhaps ethnically special boy, who deserved his powers because he was naturally good, while Frodo Baggins was a dude who got saddled with an absurd level of responsibility, which he never could have handled without a long list of friends and randos who found it amusing to help him.
If it was just Harry, it would just be an over used clique, but ethnic or birth traits kept coming up. Hagrid is naturally angry. Voldemort is evil because he was a rape baby. House Elves are natural ~~slaves~~servants. The Weasley will always be poor(even when Harry should be paying rent or at least buying them a new car).
well that is more Harry Potter information than I previously had, but I'll just move on and pretend to be dumber than I am, which is already pretty bad. when I was kid I gathered an embarassing amount of knowledge on Stephen King novels. I didn't really expect him to be one of the good guys in 2025, but there he is.
