I love Harry Potter. I pirated every book and seed every movie.

You can still enjoy something without supporting her.

Talk to your sister about the economics of pirating. You can make your own merch.

True, but on a personal level I also just really can't enjoy it anymore knowing who's behind it regardless of how I obtain it.

(I also just grew out of it, that too)

For books and merch, second hand also avoids supporting Rowling
