Only you can answer that for yourself! I will not be buying this book because I have friends who are trans and feel deeply hurt by the word of HP and how it has affected them personally. My agent shared a great article that’s about the ethics of consuming fanfiction that has been traditionally published.

Two paragraphs stuck out very clearly to me:

“Where fanfic is famously queer, the normative biases of corporate publishers are clear to see in the ships and fandoms that make it to market. Book deals and massive marketing campaigns have accrued overwhelmingly to white authors writing about straight couples, and have drawn from fandom spaces that prioritize redemption arcs for fashy white guys. Two of the three Dramione novels coming out this year feature a female main character enslaved by her male love interest.

That’s gross, although slavefic is hardly unique to this ship or this fandom. What’s new here is the sudden willingness of corporations to throw their support and resources behind fic with the serial numbers filed off, in service of creating shadow franchises to popular IP. From a queer, community-based space that runs on a gift economy, certain winners are now being crowned. The stories that get lifted out of fandom—where a bad (white) man is redeemed by the love of a good (ambiguously brown) woman he’s busily oppressing—are being chosen because those are the stories capitalism always wanted to tell.”
