Fair point. A part of me does want to watch the series, because I was a fan of the books and the movies way back when (before JK Rowling was a dumpster fire). There's a reason I haven't bought the movies on Blu-ray/4K. Or the new audiobooks (I don't have the old ones, either.) And why I won't be watching the show. I did buy the game, Hogwarts Legacy, on Xbox, on a fire sale, it was like ten bucks. The one with a trans character in Hogsmeade that takes place like 100 years before Voldemort's birth. Pretty sure JK Rowling does not approve of that game.
Yeah it's annoying that she couldn't help herself but use her fame and fortune to push a shitty bigoted opinion. Her books brought so much joy to so many but her opinions have really tainted everything's she's touched.
