Nah, even if you try to separate the art from the artist, her worldview still comes through, from the racist naming to Harry becoming a cop to the complete lack of examination of why magical fascism rose. The most telling part is that Magic Hitler was defeated by a quirk of nature, completely unrelated to the battles the rest of wizardkind were fighting or any actions taken by any characters during the time of the books.
By that logic, no one can enjoy anything but Andor. Every piece of entertainment is liberal or flawed in some way. Doesn't stop people from enjoying them.
Nah, theres plenty of media where the authors shitty views and terrible world building dont become apparent the moment you stop and think, or where the author didnt have shitty views. Terry Pratchett's Discworld, there's Earthsea, Im sure theres other fantasy British novels.
