You don’t get it, It is because Rowling is deceitful. Otherwise presented are children “harmless” fantasy but in reality she was just spinning a lie to promote a PC agenda.
I don’t think this is a point is in her favor, but your second observation makes me wonder also. Your critic is very well done and appreciated.
This, of course is just your opinion and you are entitled to it. I read the typical battle between good and evil with goodness prevailing.
It wasn’t necessary. Authors always develop a mental (sometimes written) description of characters to help them imagine how they react to a situation. The story just imitates life. Look how many people live their whole lives in the closet only to be “outed” after death.
Exactly!! I agree completely!
So you have no problems with books that have the main character torturing someone simply for revenge, and doing so with impunity?Exactly!! I agree completely!
Those were the “bad guys”. Its obvious from the context of the book.
Read Book 7, it is far from an “anti-Christian” series.
Fiction tries to imitate life. Sometimes, even the good guy does things wrong. Look at all the U.S. soldiers that have been brought up on charges. Sometimes the good fight gets the best of you. The HP books don’t celebrate torture, they put it in a context of good and evil. Just like in reality.
Are you referring to Matthews account of the passion of Christ?
Agreed. Even in the final battle between Harry and Voldermort ,after seven years of Voldermort killing and torturing his friends. Harry cannot bring himself to cast a killings spell. In fact up to the end of this final duel Harry is still trying to to save Voldermort’s soul. How that can be considered unchristian is beyond me.Read Book 7, it is far from an “anti-Christian” series.

Because Dumbledore’s SSA is irrelevant to the plot of the books.
You didn’t like the books before she made the revelation so as no surprise you grab onto its offhand comment and try to make profound moral judgments based on it.
Was that revealed in book 8?
You are asking me to disregard the “evils” in the books and read them because of the occurrences of good. If that’s so, then you should eat some of my brownies. They are made from the finest wheat, the freshest milk, and the sweetest sugar. Eat them, and disregard the little bits of dog dropping I added. You won’t even notice it.Read Book 7, it is far from an “anti-Christian” series.
Rowlings commentary.
Which shows what a great judge of Literature you are. Rowlings books made her a billionaire while you are reduced to taking shots at her in internet forums.
Money doesn’t indicate goodness. Take Madonna for example. She is a multi-millionaire, but she is a cultist who behaves like a whore and promotes anti-Catholicism left and right.
The question was whether it was bad literature. One who claims it is bad literature (as opposed to one who thinks sends the wring message)is claiming that their insight is superior to the millions who shelled out their money for the books.
Well, let’s think about this…the bad guy is tortured by a teenager whose parents were killed by this bad guy.
You are incorrect. She said (post - book, btw) that he felt an attraction. Nowhere in any of the books is then even alluded to!
