    Rowling literally uses her Harry Potter profits to fund her TERF agenda. So there is no separating the art from the artist there. The art directly is part of the hate.

    There are lots and lots of other great childrens books which will be equally capable of getting children interested in books, but their parents are too lazy and stupid to learn about them.

      She’s almost a billionaire, nothing will stop her from having the money for her bs anymore. Money keeps shitting out more money. That’s not to say that boycotting hp will do nothing, but the impact really is minimal.

      Her getting money from it is also not entirely related to seperating the art from the artist, as there are plenty of ways to just not give her money and still interact with the art. I don’t really think the books are all that great (and also have some shit messages in their own right) but it’s still undeniable that they got a lot of kids into reading and are clearly very good at captivating young readers.
