It’s hard to separate the author from her work when she’s glued to it. The new potter show had a chance to tear the series away a from JK and fix it. Instead they doubled down and hired her. May as well let that series and those characters die now

Yeah it sucks, because I loved Harry Potter growing up, but separating the art from the artist is a lot harder when said artist is still profiting off their art, and using that profit to directly fund transphobia.

And writing books about how chronically ill people are actually just lazy malingerers?? And tweeting horrid bigoted shit.

Like honestly, I dunno what happened to her but she’s become cartoonishly evil.
