For context, this is Jewish actor Miriam Margolyes. A self-identified dyke,she was professor sprout in the harry potter movies but she's been extremely prolific over five decades. She's pro trans and pro Palestinian.

harry potter fans in 2025

[wizardshark]

people DESPERATE in the notes to explain why the way THEY engage with harry potter is morally pure. It's like white people talking about rap music in there! Libraries buy the books! Fanfiction maintains a conversation around the IP! There is NO WAY to enjoy harry potter in 2025 without publicly supporting JK Rowling!

[mossdftba]

Please stop fucking reading it so the library doesn't have to pay her money. I am a transgender librarian and I am not allowed to not replace old damaged HP books, people read them so we need to have them on our shelves, and what she does with the money doesn't factor into it.

STOP READING HARRY FUCKING POTTER.

I used to be into it! In-depth character analysis, wizard rock, irl quidditch, but when she outed herself as a piece of shit, I couldn't support it anymore!

ASK YOUR LIBRARY FOR OTHER BOOKS TO READ AND STOP READING HARRY FUCKING POTTER.

The new Audible Harry Potter series is bad in uncomplicated, straightforward ways.

It is bad because it supports a woman who is actively funding groups that are seeking to deprive trans people of their rights in the UK and especially Scotland, where I live, where people inside the government are quietly remarking that they are struggling to fight against the groups she funds, as she has more money than God. Any money made from this new audio adaptation goes directly to funding these groups and these cases.

It is also bad because commissioning such an expansive series with such a well-known cast (Riz Ahmed?! Come on man) has eaten up the majority of Audible's commissioning budget. In the UK, the only people commissioning audio drama are the BBC (separate conversation) and Audible, and this new Harry Potter series has hoovered up resources that could have otherwise gone to new stories, new voices and money to creators that aren't actively trying to erase trans people.

I am angry at anyone who signed up to star in this, I am angry at the production companies that took on this commission, I am angry that this series continues to have a stranglehold on the UK media landscape despite all that its creator has done.

It is bad for trans people, it is bad for audio drama, it is bad for anyone working in media in the UK right now.

Do not listen to it

[stuckinapril]

Has anyone figured out what’s so viscerally wrong with this woman yet

[stuckinapril]

She’s so one dimensionally evil you guys 😭😭 how is she real

[mintedwitcher]

read this and remember it. read this and remember that she is going to use the profits of her fucking ego-stroking reboot to decimate trans rights. read this and remember that every time you pay into her IP, you are emboldening her to hurt us more.

our lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

trans lives matter more than your fucking nostalgia.

[wolfertinger666]

Harry Potter is fucking unsalvageable at this point and it doesn't matter how much you seperate yourself from the artist/author when the author's bigotry and transmisogyny heavily overshadows anything in that mediocre book.

at this point it signifies that you are complicit in the genocide of trans people, especially trans women and that you don't care that Rowling is profiting off of HP while pushing for the removal of our existence.

love our trans sisters, especially trans sisters of color, more than this fuck ass book.

[wolfertinger666]

I will never forget or forgive her rampant transmisogyny and racist hate campaigned towards a brown woman, reinforcing the violently degendering of brown/black women, being involved in misognoir.

her dribble is nothing but spouting white supremacist talking points, especially in the category of viewing feminity and womanhood as having eurocentric/white beauty standards and appearance.

oh yeah and the denial of trans people being persecuted in the Holocaust, which ya know, makes you a HOLOCAUST DENIER,!!! OR A FASH!!!

[sarah-ankh]

JKRs public support of, and donations to a TERF group called For Women Scotland, have today resulted in a supreme court ruling here in the UK that legally defines gender as a biological binary, and specifically states that trans women are legally considered to be men regardless of the stage of their transition, and functionally renders gender recognition certificates meaningless.

Trans women can now legally be excluded from single sex spaces such as public bathrooms or charging rooms, shelters and refuges, etc.

The inverse is implied to be true of trans men, but not outright stated.

JKR has been very public in her stance on this matter for several years, and has actively funded and pushed for this change to legislation. And is now publicly celebrating the ruling on twitter.

She has previously stated that she believes anyone who reads her books, watches her shows, or buys her merchandise also agrees with her politics and supports her actions against the trans community.

[ohcorny]

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

[moniquill]

[thebaconsandwichofregret]

She's also publicly stated that she believes that anyone who reads her books or watches her shows and films does so because they explicitly agree with her political views.

There's no "agree to disagree" with her work. Every time you pick up her work or talk about it you are saying to her "I agree with you Joanne" whether you like it or not.

[senoraconstelacionesdeinvierno]

I haven't purchased a HP item in close to a decade - I use the books I already had as doorstops or to prop a laptop up for meetings nowadays.

There is NO "death of the author" with JK Rowling - she controls and continues to profit from her IP, and uses that money to fund hate groups.

How Many More Times Can We Say It? Your Harry Potter Addiction Is Funding Transphobia

When one person can give £70,000 to a hate group's legal funds, maybe it's time to bin the Dobby plushies.

[rubikanon]

Here's your periodic reminder of why it's so important not to buy any Harry Potter merch or watch anything JKR profits from.

It isn't about cancelling problematic media, idgaf. We're capable of reading books we already own with a critical eye.

It's about not giving more power to someone who is using it to materially harm our community.

[ovenroastedtwerkey]

And yes that includes that shitty video game, yes that includes the Lego sets, yes it includes visiting the theme park. Stop giving Transphobia Georg money.

[socialistexan]

The juxtaposition of these articles is something, that's for sure.

Anyways remember that time that JK Rowling, who has never spoken to an indigenous American person in her whole life, was like "but what if the Natives had four schools and they were also bloodthirsty savages who started the residential schools with their fictional beings as their mascots and Christians weren't actually at fault" right at the time when we started getting some traction around getting recognition for the heinous crimes that were the mass graves of children, then went on to make a whole spin-off franchise in America using that """lore""" and rhetoric, where the one wizard guy who tried to stop the Holocaust from happening was villainized and played by Johnny Depp (who played Tonto in the Lone Ranger and said he was going to buy the Black Hills and Wounded Knee and "give it back to Lakota people" then never did that at all) and who she later defended as saying he wasn't a domestic abuser because she believed him over a woman who has since been proven to be telling the truth several times over?

The woman's a violent colonizer.

I wrote in this post why Hogwarts Legacy is antisemitic and why playing this game, even pirated, is like printing out an antisemitic caricature and saying "I just like the art."

I was right. If you play this game, fuck off and stay away from me.

Sorry, finding this out almost made me cry.

As if this shit isn't enough, there's a trans character named "Sirona Ryan" who's voices by a cis man. I guarantee that they went to a list of names and looked for one that started with "sir." This was intentional.

[autisticexpression]

What the fuck???

[jewishvitya-movingblogs]

Cheese?? CHEESE? This is so disrespectful I'm speechless. Just. How is every new detail I'm finding worse than anything I could have imagined.

[kat-girl-disaster]

It was gorgonzola cheese

Oh wow. I have no words. It even looks like a Shofar in the little picture on the side. Some of us decorate it with silver and it looks a lot like that.
