All of this makes me so fucking GLAD that I never read a single page of Harry Potter or watched the movies. Fuck's sakes, JKR really is a piece of work ... Pisses me off that she uses her popularity to finance an anti trans campaign. UGH.
This - her open anti trans stance and all - is also the reason why everything HP is banned in a Build a Bear FB group I am in. The owner is LGBTQ+, and after some talking with the other mods and admins, they've made the decision to ban all things HP (and BaB does have a Harry Potter range) in there. Some may say it's censorship, but they want everyone to be safe in there, and you never know who might share JKR's views ...
I know some HP fans who still enjoy the books and movies but are wise enough to dislike JKR for what she has done recently. Separate the art from the artist.
