There are a LOT of 'central' and 'right-wingers' that love her stuff all the more for her horrible worldview, and they'll spend on it.

To be fair, there are a fuck of a lot of people who despise the current government but are conflicted about the fact that they really love the HP fantasy world.

We have 1/4 of a theme park over here that is absolutely surreal with HP stuff.

    I'm not sure what will happen this time. The comment section of the trailer is filled with racist jokes because Snape is being played by a black actor - many on the right currently view this as part of the "woke left agenda". However, as we saw with the attempted Hogwarts Legacy boycott, if a very small minority try to loudly virtue signal about this kind of topic it often backfires and turns into a viral marketing campaign instead.
