A friend recently told me that it's difficult to like Harry Potter now, since JK Rowling has shown herself as hateful to certain groups of people.
It's hard. We both grew up with Harry Potter, and loved it. I still like it. My brain separates the creator from the things they create, if this sort of circumstance. For better or worse.
But there's another argument. Harry Potter has grown far beyond her. So many people have poured themselves into this world. Even if she's hard to admire anymore, I can at least admire the good people who have also taken a part in making Harry Potter.
I mean, you're welcome to boycott it too. That's a fair reaction.
