Honestly for me, it’s mainly tied to nostalgia and just having been invested in the world the series created for so long. I was around 10 when the first movies started coming out, and I read them at release from 4 on, and the series is largely what brought me into fantasy and sci-fi in general. In a lot of ways, it was the basis for a lot of things that I’ve come to love throughout life, and letting it go is hard. I just wish the whole IP wasn’t wrapped up in so many contracts its more like papier mache. That way other creators could contribute more positively. But as it is, Universal is probably going to snap it up the moment JKR croaks and monetize the fuck out of it even more.
Idk, to me JK Rowling was just a name on the cover of books I liked. I didn’t care who that was or what they were like, it was just a couple of words I was vaguely aware of because I saw them a lot. I just want that level of not giving a fuck back. I can’t, because she’s a terrible person and that isn’t going to change. She just keeps doubling down. But I still like to look at every pirated copy of media as a dollar out of her pocket.
