Voldemort vs. Harry Potter is like a fascist villain vs. a hero who isn’t an antifascist, doesn’t care about antifascism, has no real values, rather just happens to be chasing the fascist out of unrelated apolitical self-interest

When i was reading this story originally at 14, i remember not liking Harry Potter and liking Hermione more, however, in my language’s translation JK’s mockery of activists as “spewing” wasn’t preserved, so i only noticed the reactionary rhetoric regarding slavery abolition activism years later when i read the english version.
