The meme compares Harry Potter with the Baudelaire orphans from A Series of Unfortunate Events, listing how Harry remains famous and successful while the orphans lose everything and face endless injustice. The joke is a sarcastic critique of the moral and political differences between the two book series, including Harry Potter’s author and the Baudelaire books’ darker themes. It is used as a reaction when contrasting a popular, privileged fictional hero with more tragic and unfairly treated characters.
