According to Tineye, this image first appears on Imgur, with the caption. If no artist posted it as their work, it's probably AI.

A magic cloak that can hide from Death can probably hide from Accio, too.

Magic is that hard, but being a genius doesn't make you good at it. Rote memorisation makes you good at it. Hermione isn't a genius, she enjoys rote learning. Harry and Ron crave stimulation, and there's none to be found in Rowling's magic system. Rowling might have intended magic to be easy, but she made a mistake. Rowling enjoys rote memorisation, so it's easy for her and her self insert, but not for normal people who want to be intellectually stimulated. Rowling accidentally made magic hard, and the story makes more sense with her mistake in it.

Read The Player of Games by Banks

EDIT: Okay so I actually read the first three paragraphs, and no. On Authority isn't relevant. Engels is using a different definition of authoritarian than I am.

They claim to be the only real leftists, because communism requires putting down revolutions with tanks and supporting genocidal dictators. They call it "the dictatorship of the proletariat", where proletariat means worker. They think a dictatorship can be leftist.
