On a tangent: The characterization of Harry Potter is way off … I missed the whole craziness and just read it last year. I have to say it‘s amazingly well crafted and holds up as world literature. Important: Voldemort just gets his power from people who go along, who dehumanize … We need to stand together despite all of our differences. Harry is not the chosen one or has any special power. There are no clear good and evil lines (it’s complex: the most impressive, likable and heroic character after the last book is Severus Snape :) that twist really got me. Say what you want about Rowling, but her storytelling is amazing (playing with troupes and expectations). There are some cringe worthy parts, yet any of the great literature works I reread has them. (Lord of the Rings, the great gatsby, how to kill a mockingbird… )
