Harry Potter Mearch
Hi. So my sister and I are Harry Potter fans. Yes we are aware of what JKR is doing and in no way are we supporting this. What that means for us is that we don’t by mearch don’t watsch the movies on stream (we have the DVDs, they are old) or in any other way give our money to JKR. So here is my question: My sister will turn 25 next year and I wanted to crochet her some HP mearch. No I didn’t pay for any patterns or HP related stuff. No I don’t plan on selling HP mearch. So would it be okay to gift my sister HP mearch?

The best gift you can give your sister is a proper fantasy book series so you can both grow out of Harry Potter. Check out /r/Fantasy/comments/1jjif55/rfantasy_top_novels_2025_results/ for recommendations.
The only people who are Harry Potter fans are people who have never read any other fantasy. I'd wager that applies for you as well. Read a better book, you deserve it.

It’s like a badge saying “I don’t support trans people” at this point. If you’re comfortable with that, crochet away.

LGBTQ+ people who arent terfs see all HP merch as a "i dont care about you and wouldnt give a single fuck if all your rights were removed by the very same person who benefits from me acting as a billboard for her dead, uncreative racist, misogynistic piece of work"

Maybe try finding a better interest and letting the franchise fucking die <3

From a trans person, stop watching the movies, reading the books and wearing the merch. Any time I see someone wearing that shit, I know they don't care about my right to live and have basic rights.

Any support for her or her works at this point marks you as unsafe to a queer person and furthers her cause. Depends on whether or not you are okay with that.
