I sold all my Harry Potter books at Half Price Bookstore. I still have them on my kindle so I’ll probably read them again but she lost me when 1) she said Dumbledore was gay and when she set up her own Pottermore website and ripped me off on my audio versions. Yes, I’m an obsessive fan. Sorry. I am thankful that she got me reading Shakespeare and Dickens again. Other than that she can go swimming in her billions of dollars like Scrooge McDuck.

I know. Just one thing like that can ruin the whole thing.

But if you can, there's no reason not to keep enjoying the Potter books that are free of the PC stuff. I read the first one, and I don't recall any PC stuff in it. It was a nice story, interesting settings, good characters.

Gore Vidal was an unsavory character, but I still enjoyed some of his historical novels, which were not salacious at all and involved an interesting intermingling of real historical people and fictional ones.
