Probably no children’s book series is so loved to this day. The woman who wrote it fares very differently. Now there are plans for a streaming series, and some are questioning whether JK Rowling is bad for her own business now.

The point at which Joanne Rowling, better known as JK Rowling, finally became a politically controversial figure can be pinpointed fairly precisely: on December 19, 2019, the “Harry Potter” author tweeted her support for the British woman Maya Forstater, who was fired by a think tank for allegedly transphobic comments. Everyone should live as he or she wants, “but force women out of their jobs because they claim gender is a reality?” asked Rowling. She also explicitly rejected the categorization of women as “people who menstruate”.
