Lol. She lucked into an amazing world that managed to remain a good story despite her writing, not because of it. She's not an idiot, but literally every other piece of writing she's ever put out kinda slams the "smarter than most of humanity" line.
EDIT: accidental keypress
This happens and doesn't mean that she
, everyone who has, you know, actually created something knows that from experience.
They weren't meant to be causative, and I stand by both of my statements. Her writing is objectively bad, and it's a small miracle that she didn't manage to ruin this series like everything else she's written. Yes, I know those are strong words, and yes, I do believe them.
Well, how can one speak about some thing's author, the person who has built it from scratch, as of someone who can ruin it or not?
That said, it's hard for me to read her in English, and I've read HP mostly in at least three translations to Russian, one official and two unofficial ones. The former sucks, and from the latter two the one which reads the best is by the least professional translator (actually she's not a translator at all), and I mean Maria Spivak (the original one to circulate in the Runet and samizdat versions, not the abomination published much later).
It communicates the feeling of mad and a bit hooligan-ish fairy tale, I suspect that emotionally it's the closest to the original.
Anyway, it's pretty normal for an author to have a magnum opus and the rest of their works to just not make sense.
