<h1>Anti-Harry Potter and Anti-J.K. Rowling Masterlist</h1>
<center><p>First published on March 19, 2023<br>Last updated on April 15, 2023</p></center>
<p>Like many millennials, I grew up with the <em>Harry Potter</em> series and was a major fan of the series. I had read the original 7 books and watched their film adaptations. The series was a special interest of mine throughout my early- to mid-teen years. While the Harry Potter novels were far from the first books I read, they were the first fantasy novels I read, and the series concept of a magical world set in a contemporary setting fascinated teenage me.</p>
<p>However, even during my <em>Harry Potter</em> fixation years, there were things from the series that bothered me, from the idea of house elves being a slave race that naturally love being slaves, to Snapes unconvincing “redemption” arc. As I got older and became more aware of social issues, I started to notice more problems with the series. In addition, reading more books has also made me realise that even on a technical writing level, the Harry Potter series was mediocre at best. As a result, I had stopped becoming a Harry Potter fan even before J.K. Rowlings transphobia got mainstream attention.</p>
<p>Unfortunately, many adults with nostalgia goggles still refuse to let go of <em>Harry Potter</em>, and they believe <em>Harry Potter</em> can be separated or “reclaimed” by J.K. Rowling, despite how much Rowlings world-view and prejudice are inextricably linked to her writing and stories.</p>
<p>Therefore, I am compiling this masterlist by curating various resources that are critical of the <em>Harry Potter</em> series and J.K. Rowling. Items are ordered in chronological order. This is far from a comprehensive list of all the pieces that criticise <em>Harry Potter</em> and Rowling; this list is my curated list of ones that I have read, watched or listened to, and considered excellent critiques.</p>
