Verdict: Bittersweet biopic
Just imagine if J.K. Rowling had invented her Harry Potter universe to entertain her son, also called Harry. Imagine if she had incorporated all his childish enthusiasms into her books, such as a love of magic and the contents of his dressing-up box.
And consider how damaging it might have been for him if she had then conspired to turn little Harry into a global celebrity in his own right, forcing him to give interviews and sign autographs while he also watched his own childhood memories being sequestered by millions.
