I mean yeah, so long as you're not actually giving money to the evil woman that wrote those books in any way, nobody's stopping you from enjoying your old Harry Potter books and DVDs.

Heck, if you're missing one you can buy it on eBay second hand, just so long as you're not supporting the evil woman with a shiny new purchase, ya know? That woman doesn't deserve a penny.

There's a separate conversation you might want to have with yourself on whether your can separate the author from the work while you're reading it, of course, and whether you're comfortable doing so or not is a personal decision you'll have to make for yourself.

Even better, pirate it and instead donate the money to trans rights groups.

No no, haven't you heard. Pirating stuff is actually supporting the creators!

While mostly yes, all of that affects others opinions of the books, which can increase her sales and fund her hate.

I'll like HP again when she's dead.

I'll like HP again when she's dead.

And if her estate doesn’t donate to the same kind of heinous organizations that she does
