My kids and I read Harry Potter a lot. We love it and it's been a good bonding experience.

We limit our consumption of Harry Potter though. We read the books, watch the old movies and occasionally (once a year) maybe, purchase a lego set.

I have explained to my kids that I would rather not support JK Rowling due to her stance on trans people and for the most part they are cool with things.

I am certainly still not helping but I believe my kids understand pretty well

Wow, great example to set for your kids. Instead of just finding a different (probably better) series to bond over, you show them that it's not worth actually adhering to your stated values. Great lesson.

I like that you don't go ballistic about it, that you stay moderate while changing your ways in a reasonable way. Fuck fanatic cancel culture.
