    The part about Harry being some super genius aryan ubermensch or whatever is also bogus. He was always portrayed as a dumb fuck who couldn't get anything but lucky and constantly failed upward. If anything it was an uncritical representation of the journey of most men in the ruling class as presented by an uncreative author with shitty politics.

      true, although griffindor is definitely considered to be the aryan ubermensch house in the books. so he is both that and a dumb fuck - dialectics
