I think part of the reason why Harry Potter is so amazing is because there's so many little details to it. In most stories they just tell you about the main characters and give you a few descriptions of their house, but with Harry Potter you have this whole mental map of the castle in your head and you know all about the non-important side characters. You even know what other characters' parents are like, and all of their backstories. You know all about the wizarding world and society and all of their laws, and Jo tells you all about characters who are never even in the books. She didn't just tell a story, she created an entire world. She's so incredibly talented, it's amazing.

mhm all right. I did not take the time to read all J.K. Rowling’s interviews and side-books dealing with Harry Potter, so many this affects how I view her world building, but I do not think she did a wonderful job at all. She did a passable one. I enjoyed reading her stories and got swept up in Harry’s adventures, but I still think her characterizations outside the trio, a couple friends and the adults were superficial. And while Hogwarts and the rest of Wizarding Britain were interesting, I do not think she gave a picture of its politics large

and large. I mean, they tackled some big issues with Voldemort etc, but her explanation on some things were non-existent. Like, I still don’t understand why Wizarding Britain had to hide themselves from Muggle Britain. I know the novel was not written from an international standpoint, but damn. Voldemort’s quest for power should’ve been a large threat to other countries as well, so where were they during the first war, then the second?
I know unpopular opinions time, but IDK. I do think she did a proper job with her novels, but this paragraph is down right ludicrous. To be that successful at world building, I should not have to get half this information from her interviews — I’ll give her credit for the side-books, though — and that is where I feel like every fan get this “quality information” about non-important characters’ friends, family, etc from. It should be in the canon proper, not interviews and little notations on her website.
