Comic Strips is a community for those who love comic stories.

The rules are simple:

The post can be a single image, an image gallery, or a link to a specific comic hosted on another site (the author's website, for instance).
The comic must be a complete story.
If it is an external link, it must be to a specific story, not to the root of the site.
You may post comics from others or your own.
If you are posting a comic of your own, a maximum of one per week is allowed (I know, your comics are great, but this rule helps avoid spam).
The comic can be in any language, but if it's not in English, OP must include an English translation in the post's 'body' field (note: you don't need to select a specific language when posting a comic).
Politeness.
Adult content is not allowed. This community aims to be fun for people of all ages.

Now you're reminding me of those literary analysis classes. "The author used the colour blue to express their hidden and deep sadness over the loss of a burrito to a seagull..."

While we might be able to extract her point of view at the time of writing and we might assume its evolution based on her later public interactions, logic only suggests a probable conclusion based on those components, not a definite one.

Rowling also integrated parts of her own experiences into her stories. How do we know Hermione wasn't a jab at herself or some other girl she knew? Must it absolutely be a broad perception of real life? Why can't it be a particular and individual event to have given it inspiration to grow into something bigger?

Logic is only sound when it covers all the angles, not just the ones favorable to a set conclusion.
