I don't think she'll feel any consequences from what I think about her books, one way or the other.
Now if I was spending money on merch, events, watching the movies on streaming services, buying the games, promoting her content or what have you, that's a whole other matter.
But to have a reaction of displeasure whenever I see anything inspired by those works, I'd be mightily surprised if it affects anything. Unless she's hanging out in my yard looking in the window, and if she tried to do that she'd most assuredly be told exactly what I feel about her antics.
While I do have fond memories of the books in the past, it's hard not to feel gross when I see anything about them now. I just finished watching the Carmilla webseries and it has some HP references because the last season was released before JK went cuckoo and they were hard.
Also, this comic was released two days ago, for what it's worth. Hard not to see that as tacit support, given they could have just as easily done any sort of witch.
Can't really say anything about the Camilla series, as I have no idea what it is, but you absolutely have a point with your second paragraph.
There is no reason to make new Harry Potter stuff, or work actively to keep it in the Zeitgeist as far as I'm concerned. I can't however speak to the motivation of the creator and am gonna go with assuming it's not out of malice.
I mean, if it's not malice then it's ignorance in my opinion.
On that I agree with you. Though I find it's easier to get people to see ones point of view by not going with an aggressive or down putting opening, but rather attempt more of a discourse.
I'll freely admit it's more of a "do what I say, not what I do" type ordeal, as it's not as easy on practice as on paper.
I was frustrated at someone disagreeing with a person for not liking HP. I think at that point it no longer counts as "separating the art from the artist".
That's absolutely valid, if so I misread the situation. Not always easy getting a read (no pun intended) on written situations, at least I can find it very difficult at times.
