i just wanted to bring to light about jkr's transphobia, racism, anti-semitism and homophobia. i absolutely DO NOT stand for this. it breaks my heart that some people (organisations) would want to cause harm to others and spread false statements about them just because of a person's sexual identity or skin colour or religious beliefs. we all deserve to be treated with respect.

if you are unaware about the controversy here's a few links :

growing up i absolutely loved harry potter. the character, the whole harry potter universe, it was a huge part of my growing up. the wizarding world (along w a few others) it was my comfort zone. i loved interacting with different hp fan pages, fan arts, fanfictions and how we all collectively agreed on a certain characters traits and THAT is what made me love the wizarding world even more. we are the fandom, which is mostly why i decided to not delete this book, bc it brings comfort to alot of you out there.

i know some fans have completely boycotted and gotten rid of HP from their lives, IF you can do that, great; but if not, i know HP means ALOT to some of you (this is completely fine, too) and the least you could do is not give jkr the attention. dont give her any relevance. do not support her works - she gains money and supports transphobic communities (i got this info from tumblr if i find the post I'll link it) instead, buy HP merch from small businesses, watch the HP movies on DVD or pirate them, do not watch them on big streaming sites. let newer fans know about this too.

trans people are humans, and they, like cis people, can live their lives however THEY want to live and identify themselves as.
to any trans reading this, i stand by you.
spread love around please <3
