I'm glad that Harry Potter wasn't my favourite series growing up, knowing how bad of a person she is. With that said, it's still possible to separate the art from the artist, so it's okay either way but personally I just feel better knowing it wasn't my number one favourite series growing up.
I think the general argument against separating the art from the artist is that shes still alive and when we buy HP products, she gets that money and uses it to harm trans people.
Hp lovecraft iirc is known as a racist, but we can still purchase his books without funding him cause he's dead.
Buy your HP merch secondhand, i guess?

I believe that it's not as simple as that. I think that derivatives of "Harry Potter" and the characters within result in her giving a hefty cut, but I believe that the "Wizarding World" doesn't, as it is owned by WB and fully owns the rights.
Oh ill have to look into that some, i didn't know about that. Maybe i can play the game! Lol
I got them all (english versions) except n 1, free if you get them. Bordeaux France.
