I know several "ally" and one trans HP fan. They all just "separate the art of the artist" as cope. They're also a bunch of adult children and I don't really respect their opinions on media.

When you separate the art from the artist, you still have:

a slaveowner cop main character
an Asian named Ching Chong
slavery abolitionism as a joke
genetic superiority of certain characters (the bad guys were just wrong about which people are superior)
rampant fatphobia
Jewish goblin bankers
slaves who like being enslaved
slave heads decorated in Santa hats by the "good guys"
freeing slaves is bad because they become alcoholics
a black guy named MLK Shackles
a Jewish guy named Goldstein (I did not have to change this name to make the racism more clear)
none of the systemic issues that created the villain are ever addressed by the main characters beyond a surface level so nothing has actually been fixed, they've just delayed the takeover of society by fascists another generation or two

It's not that deep. It's a fantasy world that people can suspend themselves in and each person has their own self made story. If we start nitpicking which fantasy worlds have done something politically motivated we would be left with literally nothing to read/watch.

JKR is an absolute cunt who has indeed damaged the image of the HP universe but for those who just care about that fantasy world because magic is cool that's their get away from the hell that is real life.

She damaged her own reputation, not Harry Potter's.
