Rowling Among \u200cYoung Progressives<\/h2>\n<p>According to Daniel \u200cFriedman, the reason why many young progressives have become so\u200c angry with J.K. Rowling, despite growing up as fans of the\u2063 Harry\u200c Potter series, goes beyond her stance on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-woke-are-not-zany-guests-they-are-home-invasion-robbers-abigail-shrier-fires-back-at-woke-movement\/\" title=\"\u2018The Woke Are Not Zany Guests. They Are Home-Invasion Robbers\u2019: Abigail Shrier Fires Back At \u2018Woke\u2019 Movement\">sex-based rights<\/a>. Friedman believes that the anger stems from a deeper place.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As kids, they read the books and identified with characters like Harry or Hermione. But as they\u2062 grew up, they realized they were more \u200clike Percy or Dolores Umbridge or Cornelius Fudge or Rita Skeeter,&#8221; Friedman explained. These characters\u2063 either\u2063 denied\u200b reality or betrayed\u200c their loved ones for\u200b the sake of conformity. &#8220;And deep down, they feel ashamed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">I\u2019m reading the fifth book with my \u2062niece and it\u2019s \u200dkind of astonishing how \u200dwell it tracks\u200d to contemporary controversies.
