Harry decides to become a cop during the original books. And if you're going to make decisions about the quality of the books based on fanfic, then so will I. I'll asset that Harry Potter sucks because Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way is a mary sue and the prose in My Immortal is terrible.

Auror, not cop.

And again, stop asserting that other police forces are like that of the US. Other countries exist and have different cultures, curb your nationalism just a little bit.

I never mentioned fanfic, this is again you going off on a wild tangent.

I'm not an American, you're the one who keeps talking about the US, Cursed Child is fanfiction, and aurors enforced fascist laws during Voldemort's coup, which Harry knows from direct lived experience.

You keep bringing up US political dynamics.

Stuff from the author is not fanfiction. I think you need to brush up on what fanfiction means. You'd think the meaning would be obvious since the word quite literally describes itself.

And yes, a fascist government imposed fascism in the HP universe... Then a non-fascist government succeeded it... honestly, how is this hard to grasp?
