You think that the morality of Hermione’s actions depends on her character. That good things are things done by good people, and bad things are things done by bad people. Making fun of PTSD is okay as long as you’re a good person doing it to a bad person.
That’s really interesting because that’s the way JK Rowling thinks. Shaun pointed it out in his video. For example, Molly Weasley is described as having a “matronly” build, while Umbridge is described as “toad-like”. They’re both overweight, but whether that’s a good thing or a bad thing is determined by whether they’re a hero or a villain. The actual thing is irrelevant, what matters is whether it’s a good guy or a bad guy.
I guess that’s why you think slavery is okay. If it’s done by a “good person”, it’s a good action. It doesn’t matter how many bad things the heroes of that book are portrayed as in the right for doing, because they’re good guys. The book says so. So they can’t do bad things.
Might you find it personally rewarding to be transparent about the difficulties you would have faced just like Harry?
Yes, Cap’n Contrarian, the torturer & would-be murderer Umbridge should have had her wellbeing better considered by the child who momentarily imitated a My Little Pony soundboard. It was unkind, even cruel, & vindictive. You’ve got Hermione by her bushy hair on that one!

Do you wish the Harry Potter series had never been written?
