Hogwarts Legacy

[Kish]

Holy smokes. This thread has been, uhh, informative. I somewhat grew up with HP, and young me reading these books never thought, “ahh so X represents Y.” I just like… read the books and enjoyed them for what they were (or what I thought they were). Kinda gotta wonder if the X-represents-Y folks are right though.

Well, Rowling spelled out that Remus Lupin's condition represents AIDS patients. Which sounds good, since he's a positive character, until you think for a few seconds about the implications of "in these books AIDS makes you lose control and attack people, and the head AIDS patient deliberately infects children."
