Yep. I despise her opinions since I've heard/read them, but reading HP still is a treasured child memory and I pick them up again every few years. But I'm never buying anything that contributes to her wealth and I'm not going to rate the books positevely on goodreads or whatever.
I surely makes no difference to her, but it allows me to feel okay about it.
You are not alone, it's definitely going to make a difference
I feel the same way about Roald Dahl. He was a virulent antisemite, meaning that he would have hated me, but I can't give up those books I grew up with.
But at least I'm not giving him money directly if I buy one of his books.
