“As a child who grew up in an unhappy household, the Harry Potter series gave me a place to escape to when things got rough. But I’m in my mid-twenties now, and over the years I’ve realized how many problematic elements are in the books. The depiction of the Gringotts goblins and the treatment of Cho Chang were questionable, and Rowling’s transphobia is the straw that broke the camel’s back.”
“It’s a sad fact of life that many of the things we once loved as children are actually filled with hate. Some people can overlook it, but I can’t. For me, the magic of Harry Potter is gone.”
