The Managing Director of Pottermore released a statement celebrating the revenue increase, stating, “We are constantly seeking new partnerships, expanding our language catalog, and reaching out to new audiences through creative and promotional initiatives like the annual Starting Harry Potter campaign for new readers.”
J.K. Rowling, the author behind the magical world of Harry Potter, has been a target of relentless attacks from leftist activists due to her unwavering support for biological women. However, Rowling remains unapologetically outspoken on social media and refuses to back down in the face of threats from trans activists.
Recently, Rowling went viral after posting a message addressing those who promote the use of the term “cis” as a way to describe individuals whose gender aligns with their biological sex. This came in response to Elon Musk referring to it as “a slur.” Her post garnered over 20 million views and counting.
In another instance, Rowling shut down a trans activist who claimed she had the right to disagree with her as a cis woman. Rowling’s response was sharp and concise, leaving no room for argument.
This is not the first time Rowling has faced controversy. She previously spoke out against Nicola Sturgeon, the former Scottish female First Minister, for supporting the Gender Recognition Reform Bill in 2022.
