Rowling had no problem writing about harry entering a woman's bathroom 🤔
Also poly juice potion can be used to transform people into other people of the same OR opposite genders.
I feel like this one has shitty gamergate undertones.
Imagine reading Harry Potter today, now knowing how openly and blatantly transphobic and hateful the writer is...
As long as it's pirated and they don't give any money to the bigot I'm ok with that.
Same as I'm ok reading Lovecraft. The dude is dead and reading his work is not going to make anyone racist, so why not enjoy it?
Even piracy increasing the cultural influence of a bigot who's still alive and hurting people. In some cases piracy increases sales.
Lots of people still read and many don't know or don't care about the author
To each their own, I'm not here to judge anyone, especially over things they simply just don't know or might just not care about.
I never was a fan of Harry Potter in the first place, even before the author started showing her true colors. I was always more of a Lord Of The Rings fan.

What parts of Harry Potter is hateful? Its a genuine question since I havent read it.
For one, the goblins who run the bank are directly modelled off of antisemitic stereotypes, even down to copying antisemitic fascist caricatures for their models in the movies.
In the book goblins are "A short and stocky humanoid with black eyes, a domed head and long fingers." but the movies add hooked noses and a Star of David mosaic on the bank floor.
Yeah potterheads are total fuckin dweebs unworthy of respect tbh
Sounds like a muggle to me
Sounds like someone who would benefit from reading another book to me.
