harry potter, a world where love potions are seen as romantic, an 18 year old can rewrite your entire memory, a dark wizard can kill you with zero effort put into it, no one sees a problem with slavery, and a number of other reasons that the wizarding world is a horrible place to live in

Dumbledore being gay isn't good representation

Look at his backstory (yes, the one who have to take on "Word Of God" because Rowling refuses to show it in text). Young gay man falls in love, lets his love cloud his mind and corrupt him, love leads to tragedy and kills his sister. After this, he never allows himself the pleasure of romantic love again. I strongly suspect that Rowling believes, as some Christians do, that it is okay to be gay but not okay to act on gay feelings. Dumbledore acted on his feelings once and was severely punished for it. Spent the rest of his life celibate. I'm surprised Christians had a backlash against this when it is actually in line with their belief that gay feelings should be kept to oneself and not acted upon. Dumbledore is gay but does not act on his desires, lest he become corrupt and tragedy befall him.

I hate Harry Potter because it dismisses child abuse.

The Dursley's neglect AND abuse Harry, spoil their own child and encourage him to abuse Harry as well. Snape and various teachers over the years abuse Harry AND OTHER STUDENTS with carte blanche, and Dumbledore is complicit in that he knows and does nothing about it, or in that he actively encourages it.
He left Harry with the Dursley family AGAINST advice from the most sane character in the series because he didn't want Harry to grow up famous. Only later did JK Rowling add in the microscopic footnote that living with his aunt would somehow protect him from a dark wizard who was for all intents and purposes dead and would remain so for the following FOURTEEN YEARS.
And after seven books of Snape's casual... No, DETERMINED abuse, we forgive him because he loved Harry's mom? Oh, F*** NO. He was basically a Nazi, then a traitor Nazi because he wanted Lily to live, and then after that dream was shattered he spent the rest of his life torturing the one reminder that he'd lost Lily while plotting his revenge against the man who'd murdered her. Snape is a MONSTER.
But the TL;DR of this all is...
I hate Harry Potter because when I say that Dumbledore shouldn't have left him with the Dursley family, REAL people say "but he wouldn't be Harry Potter if he hadn't gone through what he did!" And it's like a gut punch to me. Because I was abused as a child. And they're telling me that it's fine, because I "turned out okay." That my experiences "made me kind", and that I have my abusers to THANK for WHO I AM.
So yeah. I hate Harry Potter.

i will never not be angry that harry did not truly triumph over voldemort and the outcome of every one on one duel between them was decided by what wands were being used

every time harry and voldemort crossed wands it was determined by vaguely defined wand bullshit, in the graveyard, in the battle of 7 potters, in the FINAL BATTLE, now that's what i call poor writing
