JK Rowling’s Potions of Profit & Progressive Moral Gymnastics!

Dive into the magical chaos of JK Rowling's Hogwarts hangover, where loving Harry Potter means wrestling with transphobia, antisemitic goblins, and house elves who 'love' enslavement! Our protagonists, a same-sex couple juggling moral spells, try drowning their JK-cash guilt by throwing extra cash at the Human Rights Campaign — talk about a charity Quidditch match! The vox columnist, a queer Jewish woman, suggests that literary winnowing is a survival skill since most classics come with moral 'chaff.' Bonus fun facts: Did you know werewolves are metaphorically HIV-positive? And 'ethical Slytherin' now officially means buying Potter merch while asking, 'Am I a hypocrite or just magically conflicted?'
