    Can’t really say anything about the Camilla series, as I have no idea what it is, but you absolutely have a point with your second paragraph.

    There is no reason to make new Harry Potter stuff, or work actively to keep it in the Zeitgeist as far as I’m concerned. I can’t however speak to the motivation of the creator and am gonna go with assuming it’s not out of malice.

        On that I agree with you. Though I find it’s easier to get people to see ones point of view by not going with an aggressive or down putting opening, but rather attempt more of a discourse.

        I’ll freely admit it’s more of a “do what I say, not what I do” type ordeal, as it’s not as easy on practice as on paper.

          I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as “separating the art from the artist”.

            That’s absolutely valid, if so I misread the situation. Not always easy getting a read (no pun intended) on written situations, at least I can find it very difficult at times.
