“You will see the artifacts without any mention or image of the author. After all, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson It is Rupert Grint are incredibly active allies (of the LGBT community). Should we forget about their work now that the original author is terrible? I’m not even talking about ‘separating the art from the artist’, but rather giving credit where credit is due.”read the official message.
The director also stated that the author and her team pursued Jessie Earlone of MoPOP’s former video editors after she showed financial support to fans of the saga.
“There’s a certain cold, heartless, joy-sucking entity in the world of Harry Potter, and this time, it’s not really a Dementor. We’d love to go along with the Internet’s theory that these books were actually written without an author, but this certain person is a little too vocal with its views too hateful and divisive to ignore,” he spoke.
