That's easy.
If you want to continue enjoying Potter related things, pirate the fuck out of it.
Or just don't. Accept that it was created by the figurehead of a widespread bigoted movement and move on. I read the series over 10 times. Read the 5th 6th and 7th books on release dates when I was a child. I discovered aspects of my identity through the Fandom. It far and away is the series I read as a kid that had the largest impact on me... well there were others that were close but still.
Haven't touched any of it in half a decade. I never will again either. I'm not invested in the creations of people who cause harm to me and those I love. I have no interest in anything produced by people who would bring mass violent harm against my community. I accept the influence it had on me but I let go of it and moved on. I dont believe that anyone is incapable of that, genuinely. There are other better things out there that weren't made by fascists.
I like harry potter. There are people out there judging me for doing so. to that i say, fuck off.
I am capable or separating art from the artist, something a lot of people really need to learn to do.
And you give your money to the art or the artist?
i dont, actually. but thats just cuz im too poor to be spending money on random stuff i wanna read. piracy ftw
The art was made. The artist was paid. Then she came out as a twat. The damage is done and the proceeds from the franchise are mostly over, what with the books and movies being past tense. The only current, actionable issue is the TV show, which let's face it, offers no value to viewers.
Every time you buy a HP goodie, you stream a HP film, you buy a new HP book, you play Hogwarts Legacy, you finance transphobia. And every time you speak about her works positively, you help her stay relevant, and you make other people buy her works, so you indirectly finance transphobia.
She still gets money from it, she has very careful contracts to ensure anything HP nets her royalties.
Does she not get royalties from that game what came out recently? Or the attractions at Universal Orlando?
She does.
