My wife was a hard core Harry Potter fan. Like waited in the lines for the new book and completely derailed a family trip to get the final book fan. Her and her friends would do Harry Potter events all the time. We’d do Harry Potter bar crawls and all sorts of stuff. She was gonna have a sorting hat party for our child when she was old enough to start reading the Harry Potter books.

Then Rowling started doing all this garbage and all that died. She took down her old Harry Potter shelf and her and I stopped buying any merch whatsoever.

As a metalhead I’ve always had to separate art from the artist, but it’s one thing when the shithead creating stuff is a no name loser out in mountains that’s broke and has little influence. It’s another when they’re the third richest person in the UK and constantly using that wealth to spread hate.

It’s just so sad to watch a large part of my wife’s childhood just up and explode like that.
