It took 1,084,170 words for JK Rowling to tell the story of Harry Potter. Spanning seven books and a decade, from 1997-2007, her story shadowed a generation and overshadowed the school system, highlighting the declining competence of unionised education.

I wager that more than a million words have been spilled across the media since then, either scorning or praising the children’s author for her stance on biological supremacy.
