Most of the people on the fediverse are adults who are most likely going to join either a general instance or a themed instance for interests for adults and not for a children’s book series, especially not one with a TERFy author
People like SpongeBob, I don’t think there is interest for a SpongeBob instance. Nevertheless if you think there is interest in it, feel free to host your own.
People who are part of the Fediverse are generally progressive, which is why they are here to begin with instead of facebook/Xitter/reddit.
People who are progressive generally don't like people who don't like trans people.
This is just anecdotally, but it there seems to be much higher than average rate of trans persons on the fediverse.
Well, even if you ignore the author, the books are actually trash once you're older than ~16 years (give or take a year or two). There are soooo many inconsistencies, that I could write like one full A4 page just from the top of my head (and I read it in 2007, so you bet I've forgotten most of it). I could write many more pages with some light Googling.
There was one, but as you can see, there isn't much of an interest in the works of bigots
The issue at hand is you fail to separate the fandom from the economic benefit driven to the author.
It's like buying Nestle because you enjoy the chocolate, despite the fact that there are respectable companies that aren't absolute monsters that also make chocolate you could be enjoying.
JKR is as much HP as Mark Schneide is Nestle. End of story. If you don't support her views, find one of the millions of other wonderful works of literature to be a fan of.
Your "separate the author from the works" is your opinion
Even if we do separate them, the works themselves are brimful of problematic tropes and stereotypes
I don't want Harry Potter fans coming here, good god. I'd rather sound with a habanero-infused DS stylus than hang out with Harry Potter fans.

Hey, I'm a fan of the universe, I hope I'm still welcome here
Thanks for the heads up. I'll block you to improve my experience
I also like Harry Potter, will you block me as well?
Sure thing, Steve-O
Man, these TERF book fans make it easy!
Use the Force, Harry!
Blockus accountus!
fuck J.K. Rowling and anything to do with her.
you want a Harry Potter themed instance? fucking make one.
I've obviously missed something here, but why the hatred towards Rowling?
