Harry Potter fan communities that once celebrated every new Rowling project have shown little interest in discussing a biography of the woman who created Hogwarts. How could the woman behind Harry Potter, arguably the defining literary phenomenon of the last thirty years, not already have a definitive modern biography? As Solomon explained, understanding Rowling's life helps readers understand Harry Potter itself. The funny thing is, Harry Potter warned us about this long before social media existed. Because somewhere along the way, "He Who Must Not Be Named" stopped being a fictional villain.
