As long as you can accept that many people don’t want to see Potter memes and can accept a little pushback, you’ll be doing better than most folk.
Keeping her relevant in popular culture is supporting her financially, politically and socially, because her relevance influences both her wealth and her political clout.
And I’m going to pushback against that. In this case, it was a single line snarky comment that referenced the meme in question. In response, I got 5 or so responses from people, each of them multi paragraph long, insisting on telling me just how it’s actually ok to post Rowling stuff.
