That's definitely a drag queen on the right...

I hate her more than I should bother to. I still wait for the day when we find out Harry Potter was ghost written by someone else and sold under the pretence of a single unemployed mother to garner more recognition.

No, she deserves to be known as the author of such tripe. That's punishment enough.

I'm a huge fan of Harry Potter and absolutely love the universe—its world-building is unparalleled. However, the books do have a lot of objective flaws. Don't get me started on her ridiculous Retcons.

World building is unparalleled?

Maybe if you had moved onto them after finishing the Mr Men series.

Lol world building. Unparalleled. You might need to read more books to see where she stole it all from.

She's been accused of plagiarising many times; unfortunately for the complainants (and the rest of us) she has so much cash she can get it all talked out of court.

The half-wit has used her wealth and influence to bully all kinds of people. A truly despicable creature who'll hopefully get her just deserts.

I think I can hear JRR Tolkien spinning in his grave.

It's basically a gender-swapped (irony) Worst Witch.

Probably, anyway. I dunno, I read the first 3 or 4 books (they were the only ones released at the time) and thought it was a steaming pile of garbage, the first one especially filled with continuous deus ex machinas to get the main character through problems he otherwise didn't have the skills to solve. It's the only one I really remember because I was forced to watch the movie too... and play a PC game of it.

So I suppose one of way of looking at it is there must be something to the world-building, because it certainly didn't get so popular because of the storytelling aspects.
