to summarize: you have the moral backbone of a flatworm if your response every time harry potter comes up is to make it about your inability to give up a book
lets list how many brand deals JKR got this year:
Target Merch
Boxed Merch
GameSpot Deal
CinemaBlend Merch
Haribo Gummy Bears
New Shop in Chicago
Featured at Universals new Stella Nova location
Squishmallows collection
Starbucks Korea Collab
And this all was just on the first page of google.
How do you think brands decide who they collaborate with? Popularity. Media attention. Social media trending. FANWORK NUMBERS. ENGAGEMENT.
JKR literally depends on keeping Harry Potter in cultural memory, in people's nostalgia banks, trending on social media, in hashtags, Hogwarts houses in bios, everything. She depends on you keeping HP acceptable to talk about and acceptable to interact with. If enough people had treated it like the moral stain it is, she wouldn't have had the ability to take away trans women's legal personhood in court today. Fuck everyone still talking about or caring about Harry Potter, you are a traitor to the queer community.
