1.0

I read the Harry Potter series over a decade ago, and wasn't super impressed then, and am utterly offended by them now. JKR is an abhorrent transphobe, and her non-white characters are nothing but 1-dimensional, racist tropes.

2.0

Upon re-reading the novels, it's hard not to see the author's traditionalist, gender-conformist mindset. 

Once, I believed in separating the art from the artist, but this is the first time I've had to try doing so while the artist is still alive and using wealth gained from their art to cause suffering.

Writers have power, the living have power, and the wealthy have power. She is all of those things. I have to do what I can to take the power I gave her back, and this is it.

For children who have yet to be jaded by the world, this book will remain a staple.
