JK Rowling

Divination & The Harry Potter Series

Season 13 of Every Day Tarot opens with a vital conversation before stepping into the magic of the Harry Potter world. 

In this episode, we explore the irony of JK Rowling’s public persona, how the books often portray femininity and intuition in a negative light, and the ways the fandom has reclaimed the wizarding world to center inclusivity and queer joy.

What we explore in this episode:

• JK Rowling’s trans-exclusionary radical feminist (TERF) stance

• How the Harry Potter books reveal a pattern of devaluing femininity and intuitive arts like divination

• How the fandom has reclaimed the series to center inclusivity, diversity, and queer joy
