It's impossible to be perfect so you won't even try?
Sure, a lot of other things indirectly harm queers, but it's pretty fucking clear that support for HP, which includes maintaining it's cultural relevance, is directly increasing the influence, wealth, and power of a single person who's utilizing a lot of their time and energy on specifically trans hate.
Not hard to drop a shitty YA series, accept that it was in the past and there was no harm in enjoying it, but that continued support is pretty directly harmful.
I don't get everyone and their eternal "but it was my childhood" crap. I look back on the content I enjoyed in the worst parts of my life fondly, but I've moved on to enjoying other things? I don't need to keep a series from 20 years ago as a current force in the cultural zeitgeist.
(In relation to the current media landscape as a whole) Why people just consume the same content, the same characters, or the same IP repeatedly, as they continue existing in a more and more profit-driven way is beyond me.
That and if you're not already avoiding big box stores as much as probable, that's kinda on you. People have to eat, and often, work has to be done, and those monopolies often give you literally no other practical choice. HP is just a single series among hundreds and thousands of YA magical boy series.
