Right. The vague concept existed before in many different forms. She put hircruxes in her books and made them a thing that people understood. I’m not saying she’s a great writer, but she clearly appealed to a lot of people with her writing, and not just kids. Her stories at least had decent morals. I’m not defending any of her anti-trans crap, but her Harry Potter fiction is a separate thing.
Ehhhhh, the morals are a mixed bag beyond what the main characters attempt to exemplify. The world itself is rife with bigotry and BS. Muggles? A slang word for inferior people? Banker goblins that stick to many Jewish stereotypes? Enslaved house elves totally accepted as normal by society? It only gets worse the deeper you go.
