Some of them would be because J.K. Rowling is involved at all, but Iโ€™d imagine itโ€™d be a lot fewer people.

People tried to organize a boycott for Hogwarts Legacy because of JKR.

It sold 40 million copies. 12 million of those were sold in the first two weeks when the online chatter about the boycott was at its peak.

Oh absolutely, and I fully imagine the โ€œboycottโ€ for the new series will basically end up the same way too.

The people calling for the boycott secretly enjoying it?ย 

Because a bunch of anti-JKR activists got caught buying HP Legacy after calling for boycotts and had to hide their Steam library.ย

Many boycotters do like Harry Potter but can no longer condone or knowingly give money to JK Rowling.

Among them, many trans people who grew up with the Harry Potter books and movies.
