Art versus artist. Some of us what as much of the wizarding world as we can get.
Art vs artist doesn't apply when the artist is making bank off their art.
A better example would be something like Notch and Minecraft. Notch made Minecraft, Notch sucks, but he sold it and makes no money off it anymore so who cares if he's the worst. JKR is a different story, and every new Harry Potter thing supports JKR.
man you really must not consume much art at all
I prefer to stick to uncontroversial works made by politically conscious creators, like H.P. Lovecraft!
But no, I get it. I like art made by people who are or weren't great. And that's before considering my participation in the vast system of capitalism which necessarily involves systemic evils far beyond what JKR personally is capable of.
It just hurts to have a person who is loudly transphobic like JKR, who uses all support of her IP as support of her views, and then all the majority of society has to say is "I love HP tho". It hurts especially when society is increasingly hostile towards trans people right now.
