I have not seen where Rowling has stated that she is using actual and factual American History to pull together her story. With the understanding that I have now, I see an author simply twisting up what was, and turning it into, this is how it was/is in my story.

Sorry. I just don’t care about the theaters. Movie companies, sure, I get that. They need to make money to make more movies. Theaters ... naw, piss on them!

Go read non-fiction.
