My daughter, Natalie Davis, and I love the Harry Potter books and movies! (Proud Slytherin House here!) Sadly, J.K. Rowling is ruining her own brain-child. She has spent several years now, apologizing for everything from putting Ron and Hermione together instead of putting her with Harry, for the people she killed off and has even feebly tried to change the ethnicity and sexual orientation of major characters in her stories. Sheesh!
This is why she can't write anything worth reading anymore. (Yes, the new movies stink!) She set out to make great books and succeeded, but when she became rich and famous, she started getting invited to the "cool kids" parties and became a politically correct yes-woman to them. In other words, she went Hollywood! (You know, like Dolly.)
We still love the seven books and eight movies, but a quality author whose desire is to write something effective, meaningful and maybe even important must remember the number one rule: You must offend some people! That's your job!
(On reflection, it seems she's merely changed the group of people she's willing to offend.)
