When I see this shit I want to read HP. Not because I like it, I hated the books, just out of spite.

Man, I have literally heard people say you should burn the books and movies you probably already owned long before Rowling was known to be a TERF. The art isn't the problem. As long as you're not continuing to financially support the bitch herself, Harry Potter himself ain't gonna harm trans people.
The art isn't the problem
Yeah, it's not like you have anything like
- Two Indian characters named after the region they're supposed to be from
- Stereotypically named Irish character obsessed with blowing stuff up and making alcohol
- An Asian character named "cho chang"
- Bankers that are barely disguised anti-Semitic tropes
- Literally a tweet saying only “Anthony Goldstein, Ravenclaw, Jewish wizard.” in response to accusations of no Jewish wizards
- Naming the black adult "Shacklebolt"

Thet was likely overzealous religious folk. Because it had magic and witches it was deemed by them to be demonic. I'm quite sure they would be surprised to learn the author of the books they hated was an ally for one of their other beliefs.
You want comfort British wizard comfort characters: read the Rivers of London series.
There’s a plethora of artists to choose from that aren’t assholes. These folks keep talking about opening mind to other points of view. If that’s their stance then they can open mind to new options.

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.

I read the books, but I was 14 and it was 2000. Haven't consumed any of it since.
I was 14 and it was 2000
Quite the age difference there.
I offer you the dad crown.
