It still results in money going to her pocket (and "causes") and, if anything, whitewashes the franchise which had a lot of in-universe problems too.
It is the same logic as "If I shitpost on twitter then elon will be mad"
Also in the game, literally a third of the NPCs aren't white or British. Half of the student companion quests are about students who aren't white. They talk about other countries and the other schools all the time in side dialog. Four of your teachers aren't even from Britain in the game.
I really feel like they tried to distance it as much as possible from JK's harry potter and I honestly kinda liked it.
But I do still understand that a small portion of what I paid for the game went to Rowling and I do feel a little bad about it. But most of it went to the studio that made it, some went to Steam.
