The social status of Harry Potter facilitates her ability to continue pushing her hateful views. Harry Potter fandom gives her millions of dollars that she then donates to hate orgs making the UK a fucking nightmare for trans people. Even if you don't give her money, the people you're cheering on and sharing space with do! And again, her nastiness is IN the books you love so dearly.
If you're committed to putting your enjoyment of bigoted children's books above the health and safety of trans people, that's a choice you can make, but I'm not gonna lie to you and tell you that's not a really messed up one.
I loved Harry Potter too. Then I grew up and realized that the enjoyment I had for this book series wasn't worth ignoring the harm it facilitates.
