I think people are also in denial about how extreme wealth works She could never sell a book again - never earn ANY paycheck for ANYTHING again - and still be wealthier and more powerful than you and me until the day she dies

Right, yeah - and I mean, she's still writing books and making movies about Harry Potter. For a while, her biggest disaster were all the Fantastic Beasts retcons. The cultural presence is a lot smaller than it used to be, but not the influence per se.

It’s also generational: the Harry Potter franchise was a big part of a lot of people’s experience growing up- way more influential I think than even Tolkien had been- and we know how people who grew up with Tolkien have formed a strong bond with his work...

The UK considers her a “National Treasure” (from nation wide polls). She’s a source of national pride. So now they have to choose between national pride and not being hateful bigots.

isn't british national pride all about hateful bigotry though

Its also probably why she manages to stay on twitter despite hundreds of people, with a better grasp of language and context than her, showing how she's actually a toxic presence on the platform.

Yeah, like when I was surprised to learn the toddler of the Live Aid guy had quadrupled and they were all supposedly famous.

She's not irrelevant here, i promise. She has the most devoted space in literally every Barnes & Noble, we have several displays exclusively for Harry Potter
