in a just world she would have won the nobel prize for literature
>most read author ever (besides Agatha Christie)
>most vibrant imaginative world ever created
>for millions upon millions of children nothing will match the sheer page turning exhilaration of her stories
>is hot
>major contributions to modern philosophy/thought in her incisive criticism of the trans menace

C.S. Lewis and JRR Tolkien also both should have won
>nooooo the Nobel should be reserved for literally whos with no cultural impact who no one will ever read
Why?

It's for literary merit not publishers account balance.
She has theme parks, that's rarer the the Nobel.

>>25617549
>most vibrant imaginative world ever created
Yeah, the one that heavily borrows from European folklore

Harry Potter has tons of literary merit.
>inventing wondrous things isn't merit
yes it is. She's also a very clear writer, her prose disappears and you're transported to the world. Her characters and dialogue are great, especially in the earlier books, and for sheer scale of invention she's very difficult to equal. Then there's her huge readership to contend with. It's a lot more than book sales. Furthermore, not one person contributed a more complete and compelling criticism of the insane transgender cultural push we've been experiencing. Humanity owes this woman a deep debt.

What an absurd criticism of a fantasy world.

she's a heretic of the great secular religion of faggot/tranny/brown/black people worship so she'd never win

Harry Potter does not qualify as great literature. They are children’s books and middlebrow mass-market productions. McDonald’s serves a purpose, but you won’t find haute cuisine there or see it in the Michelin guide.

>Harry Potter does not qualify as great literature.
Why not?
>because it's popular it's le bad
sorry sweaty but no

>>25617592
>im anti establishment, which is why i care how much money they make
>>
>>25617549
>(besides Agatha Christie)
So, where's Agies' nobel?
>>
>>25619123
popularity isn't my only criteria. I've never really read Christie so I don't know how good she actually is at writing, but I've read Rowling so I know she's spectacular.

Extremely weak and fallacious comment by the way. Rowling haters have 110 IQs maximum. Maybe try answering some of those "if all X are Y and all Y are Z then... etc" logic questions and see if you can get a single one correct.

I just want a JK Funkopop I can't save space on my display shelf forever.

I can't.

I just can't not.
