Yes its true Harry Potter does deal with much more complex issues than say transformers, and that would also explain its legions of adult fans....but to claim that its the controversy that's driving sales, then the controversy would have to occur FIRST!
Ex: Flashback a few years...Some chick named Paris Hilton was about to Lauch a new reality show called "a simple Life"...she is still not as well know....suddenly a stolen sex tape surfaces and she is an instant celebrity and all over the news and on the internet pages, gossip columns, etc....her show is launched and turns out to be a hit, cashing in on her newfound fame or infamy (depending on your point of view)...See how that works? The controversy driving her new endeavour to success.
IF Rowling wanted to use the controversy of Dumbledore's sexual preferences to drive the sales of her books, she would not out him AFTER the series is finished and she became the greatest selling author of all time, now would she?
Once again I am neither arguing for OR against a certain lifestyle or sexual preference....I am merely saying that claiming Rowling is doing it to drive sales demonstrates ignorance of economic theory.
Stay safe all.
Perfection does not exist. The question therefore, is: what level of imperfection are we willing to settle for?
