** Harry Potter, fans note to each other significantly, ‘was a trust fund jock who became a cop and married his high school sweetheart,’ and moreover his author is transphobic. **

Actually, "Harry Potter fans" don't note any of that garbage. That's what kooks "note." Fans just enjoy a story.

Funny story. I’m trans. I had a rough patch. Put myself in the hospital. It’s some real woe is me stuff, I wanted to hurt myself. Like I said, it was a rough patch. My mom came and read Harry Potter in the ICU just like she used to do when I was a child. Politics really doesn’t have anything to do with it. I’m lucky to have a mom, and the world is lucky to have J. K. Rowling.

His fans are also happily reading “the Christmas pig” right now, savoring every word until the next Robert Gailbraith installment comes out. Seeing the treatment of Jk Rowling by the left for her views is what opened my eyes and shifted me rightward. So, that’s how I changed my mind this year.

When my son read the first Harry Potter book age eight he said "this is problematic from a structural discrimination perspective". Oh wait no he didn't.

None of my family members have mentioned that, either.

Cynthia- that is because they did not take the class I did in Dismantling Racism. Clearly they need to be better educated. In any case, have a great New Year. Love reading your comments!

We homeschool, so the Offspring don't go all Dismantling Racism (or colonialism or global warming) until college. "How is your dog doing?" says a well-trained Southern hostess. "More pie?"

Thank you, and I wish you a great 2022 as well!
