With Rita Skeeter publishing her book, not unlike the explosion of social media and yet a decade before

Just saying. Only time will tell if like Rowling, Dumbledore learned to not hate muggles with Grindewald so if Rowling will learn a similar lesson not to hate

I salute JK Rowling's ability to proactively shield herself from criticism via the Rita Skeeter character.

For those of us who haven't read the books in years, you might have to unpack the context a bit more.

As it stands, Rowling is amalgamating the worst qualities of Skeeter and Umbridge.

After Dumbledore's death, Skeeter published a book on him, revealing that he was an anti-muggle wizard supremacist in the past. He then turned against Grindelwald, becoming the Dumbledore we know.

The analogy doesn't really work because Dumbledore was a bigot in the past, but got better. Meanwhile Rowling did her respected deeds in the past, then turned into a professional transphobe.

It's a common writer's trick to have "the asshole character" say the racist and sexist shit the writer really thinks through him. I notice it often in movies and TV shows

She doesn't have any power or do anything bad, how is she like Umbridge?
