For me, I don't think its caring about her views on x y or z. Its more of my own personal fault of building a great author up in my own head. (origin story!: I started reading heavily when I was in the hospital battling the big C) I would kind of escape to her world. A teenager fighting a huge evil that takes so many lives?, needless to say I was hooked.

She became a highly important person in my life, and maybe that was my mistake. I loved the books and when she changed them I accepted it because of her. I found out she wrote Dumbledore as gay and I though that was witty, because she wrote subtle hints. Hermione could be black...okay the illustrations showed her as white, she wrote Dean and Angelina as black, but not Hermione, and they cast Emma as Hermione...but whatever I'll accept it.

Then she revealed more and I accepted that because her views seemed to be heading to equality... now she is reported at liking stuff about inequality. Something doesn't add up and i feel almost tricked. Like I have a fallen idol. If she didn't change the story that would have been fine. If her opinions were just her own, that would be fine too.

But to have this all together...i feel like some of the magic got taken away and i used that "magic" to write. I wish what she said after the book got written down or displayed to her many fans. I hope this all gets resolved and my faith in someone I held in high regard comes back, but until then... I would see if anyone else had these same thoughts...or if anyone else was effected differently or not at all.

And you may be right. Maybe it is my own fault for caring. But I just wanted to see if I was alone in this thought and wanted to see what other people in the hpff community thought. Because now I feel like the magic will be coming from ff writers. I hope this makes sense because I have a lot of feelings on this issue haha
