    I'd say most successful and not best, because her books aren't very well-written. They are children's books of course and no one should expect flawless story structure and zero plot holes from those, but her whole project is one big problem and would have seen critique eventuallyregardlesss. There is SO MUCH else in there to critique, from wizards being pro slavery to Harry's unending obsession to become a cop even as the system fails him time and again to racist-ass naming conventions to...everything. So much of it is bad that I feel she was always destined to become what she is now and it's just the details of what she gets canceled for that would change.

    For example, the whole 'wizards used to just shit on the floor and then magick away the evidence' thing, which she probably said in response to someone asking light-heartedly why old timey Hogwards has indoor plumbing, shows her making up the dumbest shit ever and pretend like she thought about it in advance. It's painfully obvious she is doing this . She could never admit that she just didn't think about these things while writing and for some reason she has to present herself as infallible, leading to garbage retcons and inane takes. Her meme status was always inevitable and thanks to the slavery angle alone she was always destined to be cancelled for something.

      Harry’s unending obsession to become a cop

      Man not even, he just wants to go to magic high school and not die to the evil wizard(s), the books literally do not even talk about what he wants to do with his life until the epilogue is like "oh and harry became a magic fed"

        he mentions a couple times "maybe i'll be a cop" but it always comes across like he doesn't really know what he wants to do. and then he just goes ahead and becomes a cop

        I distinctly remember him talking about wanting to be an Auror, or at least saying it when asked by random people. Been a while since I read these books tho and I ain't going back ever.
