Is "Harry Potter" a "hypercapitalist pro consumer story"?

[Cubus]

I just read such thesis on social media. It's too intriguing not to put it to discussion.

The people who shame it are the woke mob. They are mad about the you know what. I can't say it or I'll get banned.

Harry Potter is story about having love. Voldemort is stronger and smarter than Harry Potter despite Harry being talented and gifted. Harry Potter had friends and loved ones who believed in him by his side which in the end helped get victory over Voldemort.

Voldemort didn't have love. He's the opposite of Harry. Harry had married parents voldemorts mom was a sidewalk lady and had no friends. Voldemort was alone. Harry could have became like voldemort if he never had love.

It's very feminine, but it was a woman who wrote the book. And it's a good book. It has a deeper message than magic and wizards.

Sounds like somebody desperate to sound intelligent.

Harry Potter was a kids' story written for kids... People who treat it like some kind of biblically insightful rumination are deluding themselves. It was, at the end of the day, not much more than a story of good triumphing over evil.

Um. What? What does that even mean? Where's the argument for that?

[Cubus]

No argument from what I know. But I met a guy who believes it

That's weird. Like I get that people have some issues with the HP series now because of the author's political/moral beliefs, but I'm just not sure where capitalism plays a major role in the story.

No, not at all.
