Ah yes, because I'm sure JK's bigotry was an important part of them forming an attachment to the series in the 1990s/2000s.
I get that JKs a TERF and HP shouldn't be financially supported, but this kind of facetious moral scolding is exactly the kind of advocacy that just turns people against whatever you're advocating for.
Bro I’m trans and nonbinary and I met my best trans friend through Harry Potter fan fiction because we’re both deeply traumatized and autistic so I mean there are other options
It's not even that good a story. There's more holes in the worldbuilding and plot than a sieve, the writing is only comparable to half baked fanfiction and there's glaring bigotry, racist, antisemitic and otherwise, sprinkled throughout
Shallow world building was one thing that prevented me from getting into HP originally. I still read the books because my mother tried to do the equivalent of buying the popular toy but for a child that was into books.
The fact that I thought the house elf plot would went towards grand change of the system by the end of the series and it went nowhere was second thing.Â
Like what do you mean that child book was more okay with slavery and racism than some of the gritty fantasy books where they are one of expected tropes that show the world is shit?Â

JK Rowling uses her wealth to harm trans people.
