Given that Rowling is still making money and is actively using that money to harm people, you cannot extricate the art from the artist.
If one want a whimsical world of magic, I’d recommend Terry Pratchett’s Discworld series. If one wants a little darker story about a magical school, I’d recommend the Scholomance series by Naomi Novik.
Pirating Harry Potter media is the only ethical way of consuming it. When I quoted the books here it was from an epub I obtained the same way the big corpos do it.

By the way: you can pirate those books.

Yet you can. The books (plot) themselves don’t become bad because of that.

No, they’re bad entirely on their own merit.

That’s separate from whether you separate them from the artist
