Author J.K. Rowling, the female author who wrote the Harry Potter series, has been outspoken in recent years about protecting the rights of women and keeping definitions of biological gender intact. As a result, she's been tagged as an "anti-transgender" bigot.
Just last week, HBO Max confirmed she would not be invited to the 20th anniversary celebration of the series, despite her becoming one of the most successful fictional novelists in the history of the world.
Most recently, Rowling faced harassment by transgender activists at her home and detailed the experience

As children's books, they were OK. They held my kids interest and motivated them to learn to read, so as a parent I loved them.
So right!
First world problem…who cares
I saw that video. With young nieces and nephews. Bored out of my mind. Of course that “white is bad” stood out and the worst thing you could call someone was a “mudblood” or something like that.
Well, they are pretty horrific, so...
I wonder if she has begun to rue the days she supported Leftist Deviance.
Apparently that term now applies to the vaxxed. Or so I’ve heard. 😨💉
No, not at all. The stories are about bravery, loyalty, and friendship. The sorcery is just the backdrop.
The books came out just before the gay revolution of the 2010's. There's nothing about homosexuality in it, only an undertone of "girls are smarter and braver than boys" which has been going on for decades. The notion that Dumbledore or anyone else was gay was ret-conned into the books.
J K Rowling helped bring all this to fruition.. Lets go JK.....
JK is smart enough to know that Trans politics will delete Feminism. If any man can pretend to be a woman, there is no feminism. Everything feminists were awarded for decades disappears. Sexual harassment, unequal compensation, women in politics and leadership, “believe the victims/#MeToo” are all gone.
Any man can claim to be a woman and he can change back and forth. If your group demands more women in STEM careers, that’s easy to do now and their demands are meaningless.
How dare JK Rowling say that people who menstruate used to be called women!!!! Shame on her! (Tongue planted firmly in cheek!)
I'm sure that J.K. thought herself very edgy indeed a decade or more ago. It's just that the subsequent years have seen such a turn for the worse that her work now seems quaint and almost "normal".
The new book Writer’s Retreats by Neil Burkey said Rowling was named “the first billionaire writer.”
Net worth is now something over $1 billion as she passed 820 million British Pounds already.
Rah, rah for the lowly masses rioting for social justice.
Toleration was never going to be enough for the freaky gender confused crowd.
Every single time that a society allows a perversion in the name of tolerance, that will become the new normal and the deviants will ask society to lower their standards once more.
It's a never ending cycle and there is no bottom with these people.
They don’t want tolerance. They want to be worshipped.
I assume the 20th anniversary showing of Harry Potter movie is going to tank. Maybe that will get the woke’s attention.
I’d like to know, too.
It must be just the movie. In the book, there was at least one black Slytherin. Don't know about the Slytherin Quidditch team though; I'd have to look that one up.
