Comment on My son asked to watch a Christmas movie today

  It’s kind of hard for me to watch the HP movies these days with all the Rowling stuff, which is unfortunate because Radcliffe and Watson have stood up to Rowling’s transphobia. There’s also a lot of stuff from reading the books as a kid that is, in retrospect, rather horrible.

  Maybe I could see myself one day re-watching them through a means that doesn’t directly fund Rowling (or, in the future, her estate, if its activities are malicious) and enjoy the work of the other people who aren’t involved with the stuff Rowling is doing, but for me, that day is not today; I just feel too conflicted about it.

  For now, though, if I want to enjoy Radcliffe, I throw on 2022’s Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.
