Way to jump to conclusions, OP - also, do you remember who the main characters ARE, btw?
The main characters are kids. The vast majority of the adults we meet will have some connection to kids, and that means a significant portion of those adults are parents. Just take the focus off women for a second and look at all the older adult characters in general for a moment - how many non-parents are there in the end, really? If you take out the teachers, there actually aren't that many men who aren't also fathers. (Though quite frankly, once you take out the parents and teachers, most of the remaining adults are background characters, anyway - many of whom are either implied to be childless or whose parenthood status we do not know, because, y'know, not everyone had to defined by whether or not they have a child, man or woman.) Most of the adult characters we meet are parents or teachers, because those are the adults who interact the most with kids. As those kids get older, we do meet other adults, many of whom don't have kids.
At no point does JK Rowling imply that not being a mother is a bad thing, or that something is wrong with you because you are not a mother.
Now, what did she say? Women who don't have children don't understand motherhood. And guess what - it's true. My hat goes off to all the moms and dads around here because parenting is hard as fuck, something which I see even from a distance (and something which I often feel like smacking into certain types of girls who look forward blindly to motherhood without even acknowledging the existence of the hardships that come with it). I'm never going to understand motherhood, because I've never been a mother and most likely will never be one. However, this fact degrades neither me nor them. There are a lot of people who I will never understand
like morning peopleand there are a lot of people who will never understand me or the life I lead, and that's okay.Re: Way to jump to conclusions, OP - also, do you remember who the main characters ARE, btw?
