I’m beginning to think so many successful writers are terrible people because it must help them write a wider range and depth of characters.

If this is the case, it certainly seems to have skipped over Rowling.

Putting her in the same sentence as Lovecraft and Dickens is insane.

yeah but two of those authors at least used their trauma to write good and interesting stories.

rowling just got lucky with the right kinda story at the right time getting popular in the right kinda country that could throw immense wealth at it. There're hundreds of other realistic fiction YA novels that are certainly better than HP and way less problematic, but unfortunately the one written by a hater on a crusade soaks up a majority of the attention.

Very lol at the idea of Rowling writing either a range or depth of characters 🤣

Yeah and I love a good Stephen King novel, but lately I began to believe he a secret pedophile...at least I know he was a drugged out coke head.
