The difference between Lovecraft and Rowling is, lovecraft doesnt make a profit off of his stuff anymore

Also, as far as I know, Lovecraft came around and said he was an idiot for being racist.

On the other hand Lovecraft stories work because he was racist. Fear of the unknown etc.

That is the true horror. That something good came from racism and xenophobia.

Well when you get right down to it, the wizarding world of harry potter only really functions because of the author’s hardcore belief in the importance of the status quo and the existence of groups of people who are inherently evil… Not saying the premise wouldn’t have worked without that but it would have been a really different story

Also, Lovecraft had good relationships with other authors and collaborated with them, and effectively made the Cthulhu mythos open source before that was cool. Rowling on the other hand…
