Gotta say, it got a response and got you thinking about them which is a ton more than I regularly got when I was on the apps

It's possible to despise JK for her transphobia while still enjoying stories about magic

I do enjoy stories about magic. The problem is that Harry Potter is so tightly wound into her own politics as a story that you can't separate the two. To add to that, buying Harry Potter related stuff directly funds anti-trans organization and she's gone on record stating that.

I do wish she'd get off the batshit crazy hate bus. She's just plain wrong, and I can agree to not supporting that, but having grown up with Harry Potter books being one of my favorite fictional escapes it hurts losing that piece of nostalgic delight that I used as an escape from an abusive childhood to a hate mongering transphobe.
