You like Harry Potter so I figured you’re politically right wing, and then I saw your username and thought “that sounds like a famous right wing person I know of”
Why would liking Harry Potter make one right wing? Liking Harry Potter doesn’t necessarily mean supporting Rowling’s views. The books have progressive messages in them that appeal to people who value inclusivity, even if the writer is a hypocrite. Yeah, the books have some issues, like the proslavery stuff, but you can still be left wing and like the books despite those things
The books have lots of issues. The racist names, the Jewish caricature goblins, the villification of asexuality, the slave heads in santa hats, the fatphobia, the misogyny, the problematic gay allegory… I don’t blame kids for not picking up on that stuff, but any adult who still likes those books is a conservative.

There’s so much more to the books than that. You can’t assume someone’s beliefs by what fiction they enjoy
Harry Potter is like Stonetoss.
So far you’ve been wrong on pretty much everything you’ve said
