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.

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.
