I wonder how her kid she wrote the books for feels about her these days. Sadly, I'm sure since he ultimately grew up with a silver spoon in his mouth he thinks his mother loves him unconditionally and is sticking up for what she believes in, just like she taught him to do. What's more sad though is the thought of him having friends his age—our age—my age who have woken up to the klaxon sirens of her hatred and criticize the mother who taught him all this. Again. I'm sure the reality is that the wealth he's inheriting keeps him insulated from making friends who are harmed by all this, or are even aware of this harm, but I can imagine a world where he feels conflicted about that his mother has provided everything someone could want, and also knowing she's horrible. I can't imagine what it would be like to be in that situation.

Now for speculation time. I anticipate he will never speak out one way or the other

Maybe he's a she now and that's why Rowling became so toxic. Just like with Musk.
