The HP books aren't good enough to live up to all the praise and fandom they receive, but more importantly JKR has done immense harm to the trans community and is not anti-racist my any stretch of the means. She only retro-actively has been inclusive of POC via background inclusion/for PR purposes/tokenism. We all have participated in problematic faves and whatnot, but I will not support someone who we can see so clearly has and continues to do things that are extremely harmful. There's like a billion other fantasy books out there that are way better anywho. Expand your worldview and leave a bigot behind.
