I know you don't like the author (and I don't either, she's a twat), but it's pretty undeniable that literally tens or hundreds of millions of people enjoy Harry Potter.

Including a lot of trans people.

Turns out that bitch accidentally created a fantasy for everyone no matter how much she despises it.

And then we paid money for her products and merchandise, which she used to campaign for our destruction. So drag stopped, and every trans person drag knows stopped.

Just because you are getting downvotes so hard, let me say out loud that I agree with you. Enjoy Harry Potter all you will, but pay money for it and you very directly funded the ideas the author stands for.

I don't think they said people don't enjoy Harry Potter. they just said it's bad. and that's correct. jowling kowling rowling is not just a bad person; she's a bad writer.

This. The story is generic as fuck, makes little sense and is full of inconsistencies. It was fine when I was a kid because kids really don't have high literary standards but I always feel a little embarrassed when adults like them. Especially those who reread them in their adulthood.
