That's absolutely valid, if so I misread the situation. Not always easy getting a read (no pun intended) on written situations, at least I can find it very difficult at times.

On that I agree with you. Though I find it's easier to get people to see ones point of view by not going with an aggressive or down putting opening, but rather attempt more of a discourse.
I'll freely admit it's more of a "do what I say, not what I do" type ordeal, as it's not as easy on practice as on paper.
Can't really say anything about the Camilla series, as I have no idea what it is, but you absolutely have a point with your second paragraph.
There is no reason to make new Harry Potter stuff, or work actively to keep it in the Zeitgeist as far as I'm concerned. I can't however speak to the motivation of the creator and am gonna go with assuming it's not out of malice.
I don't think she'll feel any consequences from what I think about her books, one way or the other.
Now if I was spending money on merch, events, watching the movies on streaming services, buying the games, promoting her content or what have you, that's a whole other matter.
But to have a reaction of displeasure whenever I see anything inspired by those works, I'd be mightily surprised if it affects anything. Unless she's hanging out in my yard looking in the window, and if she tried to do that she'd most assuredly be told exactly what I feel about her antics.
Because J.K. Rowling is a massive loon we're not liking Harry Potter anymore. If you feel otherwise about the books you stand with all her viewpoints, and thus your opinions are invalid. That's what I'm getting from it anyways.
Whether an author should be given such power over their works as to be able to sully them retroactively is a whole box of frogs I'm not going to attempt to untangle, but I know I wasn't even aware who the person was when I read the books in primary school, and to me those joyful memories of a magical world had nothing to do with a hateful old woman shouting crazy things from her castle.
And if anyone reading this thinks I'm implying she should be able to spew hatred and crazy without consequences, you're wrong. I just don't think pretending there was never anything magical about the books themselves is the way to go about it.
They've captured the hopelessness cats exude when begging for food (despite having been fed literally 3 minutes ago)!
She seems very polite about looking down on everyone. 11/10 stars.
Was waiting for the camera to get slapped to bits with zero warning... How very well behaved!
Seconds before getting mauled by the looks of it. Beautiful creature!
I was about to say, she's very polite about it!
Naw, but having to fight with the wee man for ones boxer briefs on laundry day is not as gratifying as one might think.
How absolutely lovely. Give her cuddles from me!
