TERF Queen wrote the series in Edinburgh and is thought to be inspired by the local architecture in creating Hogwarts.

Does it seem that the more you learn about her and the series, the less creative she becomes? More and more it feels like the series became a hit over others out of pure dumb luck

A lot of people get success through dumb luck.

She also wrote something that felt resonant and in a manner where the flawed logic of her universe doesn’t make itself readily apparent, which takes some skill.

Part of the problem in creating a canonical universe over a piece of fiction is that it takes a lot more thought to create the world and few people who can create that world can write compelling stores in said world. She wrote a compelling story. That said, a lot of writers can compelling stores that don’t get the kind of press that Harry Potter did.

IMO the architecture stuff seems pretty standard as far as getting inspiration for a book goes.

The real hack writing was calling the Chinese character “Cho Chang”.
