Delving into contemporary british social commentary might conceivably be enthralling. For Britons and (some) Canadians........
The rest of us?
A good test of her writing skills..........

Well, I don't really see much of an ongoing attitude here to be frank.
She stayed with Bloomsbury for the long haul, all the Potters, so I don't think you can imply - if you are - she's treated them unfairly.
She saved them as a company, basically, although I don't expect either knew that at the time - serendipity. (?)
And I shall be very interested to see if it does travel -but it won't make it a "worse" work. If she's writing to clear out the Potter within, I don't expect she'll worry too much !
And, indeed, a real test of her writing - but it will also be a very hard test for every section of the reading community to distance the present, from the Potter past.
Will it be dragged up at every opportunity ?
We'll see, but it will be a terribly easy headline hook, favourable or otherwise.
