Has J. K. Rowling been officially cancelled now?
She might be a horrible person, but Harry Potter absolutely belongs on a list like this IMO.
For sake of argument, maybe HP is seen as it's own thing now. It's become so ubiquitous it's sort of general fiction and not thought of as grouped with anything.
Kids books don't typically get added to lists like this.
That list has multiple kids books, including Wizard of Earthsea, Narnia and Hunger Games.

It's a bit tragic how she's fallen in with that crowd. I don't think she bears anyone any ill will herself, she's just stupidly sought refuge in the wrong place. She never should've bothered, not on twitter, the place is too polarised. She started off playing devil's advocate, but quickly learned there's no room for ifs and buts on socmed and - fuelled by the shock of being threatened with violence - flew to a bunch of accomodating cunts for reassurance.
