It’s not garbage (and books too).
If you, perchance, want to discourage people from consuming Harry Potter because of Rowling’s views, then state so explicitly. It would send a clearer message.
You’re going full keyboard warrior in this thread despite acknowledging Rowlings bigotry. They are children books, no one needs you to defend every plot hole, racist caricature or political grievance she decided to include. You’re an adult, why are you putting this much effort into defending a terrible person and her terrible writing?
Surely you have better things to do.

I can say the same about those, who replied to me and downvoted me.
I like the books. They are fine.
IMO art can and should be separated from the author’s person and should be judged by itself.
Yes, Rowling does have garbage views. Everyone knows that she hates women, Jews, and non-white people as is evident by her garbage stories, and her political actions. It’s rubbish and shouldn’t be platformed.
she hates women
Hermione, professor McGonagall, Molly Weasley for example - they are prominent and loved characters.
Hermione was written as a know-it-all goody-two-shoes that while useful to the boys for being smart (and a convenient love interest) was still presented as a silly character that, get this, wanted to end slavery lol – so she had to be taught that actually slaves don’t mind being slaves they just don’t like having bad slave owners – so she needs to stop being so unreasonably emotional about it and just shut up
All TERFS hate women. It’s misogynie all the way down.
Ex harry potter fan. First 3 books were fun mystery books in magical world. No complaints there. After book 3 they went off the rails.
Matilda has a school with a bad teacher and parental figures. The Secret Seven has school aged kids solving mysteries. No one is complaining about them. But books 4-7 tries to go into the politics of the world, and they fall apart.

In my case the plot was maturing with me. (I was a child of Harry’s age when the first book came out)

I don’t think it needs a remake. I’m not at all remotely interested in the material.
