Hey, Warner Bros., let’s not bring J.K. Rowling’s warped views into anything Harry Potter related

J.K. Rowling has taken to social media, her blog, and other works to share her harmful views but lets not bring them into anything to do with Harry Potter, okay?

When looking back through the Harry Potter series after J.K. Rowling revealed her harmful take on the LGBTQ+ community, you can see parts of her views littered throughout. Mainly in the aspects of the book like the fact that Snape wearing a dress was “funny” and so on and so forth.

But it seems as if maybe remembering those moments are important because if not, we end up with moments like this in Hary Potter games.

Here is the thing: Let’s not point out those aspects of the series? Especially in our current climate with many of us fighting against Rowling and her views. Many have already purchased these games or bought the books but things like this makes fans who are upset about Rowling also not want to play them or read.

Sure, this could have just been a “oh this happened in the series” moment but it isn’t something that needs to be remembered and if we’re going to continue to have products of the Harry Potter series coming out and adapting, it needs to take a stance of either being against Rowling and her views, or accepting so then if then fans know whether or not they can partake it in.

Sorry but as a fan and someone who supports the trans and nonbinary community, I cannot, in good faith, play things like this when I know they chose the aspects of Rowling’s views to be first and foremost in their games. So Warner Bros., please, don’t do things like this.

 Remember to be kind to each other.
