> you should DEFINITELY edit Harry Potter to get the terfliness out of it

Have you actually read Harry Potter? What are you referring to within the books?

Rowling was a progressive darling for years until she expressed disallowed sentiments outside of her fiction writing.

Not quite. Harry Potter is a remarkably pro-status-quo story.

Really? Talents based on heredity, the portrayals of the Dursleys as fat, the renditions of other cultures, the questions of whether the goblin bankers echoed anti-Semitic stereotypes, the domestic slavery, etc. got criticism for years. She got some kudos eventually for saying Dumbledore was gay but that was late and never in the books, so it seems pretty minor to hang that theory on.
