"why are you into that series but not any other, better young adult novel IPs? Why only the bigoted one?"

They're bigots.

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.

Harry owns a slave. Hermione is treated as hysteric for wanting to end slavery.

Sure, her transphobia and transmisogyny aren't glaring in Harry Potter but bigotry is literally everywhere in it.
