US study suggests that the boy wizard’s fans are less sympathetic to ‘Trumpdemort’ – even less so when they have read more of the books
JK Rowling has sung the praises of a recent study which found that reading the Harry Potter books lowers Americans’ opinions of Donald Trump.
The bestselling novelist has already made her feelings on Trump clear, writing in an open letter in June that the presidential candidate is “fascist in all but name”. “His stubby fingers are currently within horrifyingly close reach of [the US’s] nuclear codes. He achieved this pre-eminence by proposing crude, unworkable solutions to complex threats. Terrorism? ‘Ban all Muslims!’ Immigration? ‘Build a wall!’,” wrote Rowling. “He has the temperament of an unstable nightclub bouncer, jeers at violence when it breaks out at his rallies and wears his disdain for women and minorities with pride. God help America. God help us all.”
So anyway, this has made my day.https://t.co/mJSCdHLVPz
