God bless my poor folks who regret their Harry Potter tattoo because they're trans. You have my condolences. 😔
Just because an Author has some bad takes doesn't have to sour the franchise for you. On principle, you can move on and still carry the enjoyment of your experience. Chalk the author up as "gone cuckoo" or something and don't spoil your initial reactions and interpretations.
Life is all about what you feel, experience and reminisce over. And no one can take that from you. While facts cannot change, your feelings do evolve over time and something you can and should look forward to.
except the blatant racism, transphobia, homophobia, slavery apology, and other things are in the actual books
I'm not sure transphobia or homophobia were in the actual books, but the others you mentioned were. Rowling herself obv exhibits all of those things, but I try to think of OP as a 9 year old just discovering a love of reading, who doesn't know about the racist tones. That's my story at least, and I've been happier just letting people enjoy things.
