Dr. Charlotte Proudman, a Cambridge academic and feminist founder of the U.K. group Right to Equality, was slammed on social media after she criticized the Harry Potter franchise<\/a> as being too White and patriarchal.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I never liked Harry Potter. I didn’t even finish the first book. Potter is an English schoolboy genius living in a largely male, white fairytale land that looks like Oxbridge (for the elite). He’s a little patriarch that resorts to magic and violence to rule,” she wrote Thursday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

J.K. ROWLING CRITIC FORCED TO PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE FOR CALLING HER A NAZI AFTER LAWSUIT THREAT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

Many online rebuked Proudman’s contention that the Harry Potter series and character is contemptible.<\/p>\n

“That’s one view. Another is that the Harry Potter books engendered a love of reading amongst millions of kids (and adults) some of whom thereby expanded their horizons to become students of Cambridge academics when they might not have,” Simon Scarrow, a British author, wrote.<\/p>\n

Stuart Hazeldine, a British screenwriter, pointed out that J.K. Rowling – the franchise’s creator – was poor herself when she wrote the first book.<\/p>\n

“Yeah, would’ve been much better if it had been written by a woman with no money,” Hazeldine wrote.<\/p>\n

“I’ve never read or seen Harry Potter, but my goodness, this woman needs to lighten up!” health and science reporter Benjamin Ryan tweeted.<\/p>\n

British journalist Sophie Corcoran wrote, “This woman was a \u2018Cambridge academic\u2019. One of the poshest, whitest, elitist schools in the country – and here she is screaming about a fictional wizard.”<\/p>\n

Jaakko Husa, a comparative law scholar, pointed out that the Harry Potter character himself comes from a disadvantaged background.<\/p>\n

“Abused orphan boy living in a cupboard under the stairs, neglected by his guardians, haunted by a mad serial killer, friend of oppressed students, refuses to take the most magical tool. Somehow he is \u2018elite\u2019, \u2018little patriarch\u2019, and \u2018resorts to magic and violence to rule\u2019,” Husa tweeted.<\/p>\n

Rob Wilson, an author and chairman of WheelPower, a charity dedicated to wheelchair sports, tweeted, “I\u2019m no Potter fan, but everyone should be able to recognise getting millions of children to engage in reading is an outstanding achievement for @jk_rowling – she deserves huge credit for that alone. The books have done so much for a generation of children from all backgrounds.”<\/p>\n

J.K. Rowling, the series’ author, defended herself last month against continued attacks from transgender activists. “I’ll be dead<\/a>,” she said on “The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling” when asked about how the attacks will impact her legacy.<\/p>\n

Before authoring the legendary series that defined fiction for an entire generation, Rowling overcame depression, poverty, and thoughts of suicide<\/a>. She rose above these struggles to become one of the bestselling authors of all time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
