Just don't pay for it and be done with it.

Enjoy Harry Potter, just don't give money to scumbag author.

Read some genuinely good fiction? What do you like about them? I guarantee theres better books for that.

As someone who did grow up with the series but doesn't interact with it anymore, I'm gonna tell you that not everyone needs things to be good.

It doesn't have to be good for you to enjoy it. Fanfiction alone wouldn't exist if it had to be good.

I don't understand this the same way I don't understand burning books you already own. It's performative but it doesn't show any actual thought.

Lack of thought is part of the problem.

Or, maybe, look at those books with critical eyes for the first time in your life, and realise how shit it is, and how much it is littered with awful terrible takes. And read another book maybe.
