I don't even know why the right hates JK Rowling so much anyway.

She made Dumbledore gay so that ticked a lot of them off.

And Hermione was black in a stage play she didn't write or have a ton of involvement with. When people threw a fit about it tossed out the "changing a character's race" argument and in response she said something like "I never explicitly stated Hermione's race" which they then took to mean "Hermione was white but I suddenly decided she's black"

Also she tweets a fair amount and is pretty critical of Trump and the far right, and is supportive of the EU and Britain helping out refugees.

I think all of that combined just triggers them too much.

If they thought about it for a second, her story still puts a white male with big family pull at the center of the story, for all its apologies for racism. This is why I hate Harry Potter. Liberals pretend like it's this revolutionary fable purely because the right doesn't understand that it's secretly winking at them.
