Harry Potter and the Cursed Child moral conflict

Hello everyone,

Just looking to get some perspective on a personal dilemma I’m having. Like so many people I have been a massive fan of HP for most of my life. I grew up in an impoverished, abusive household and those books and films helped me find love in a place where I didn’t have much. The books were also crucial during my own coming out journey, and a few years ago the Hogwarts Legacy video game helped me come to terms with my non-binary identity.

All that being said, I know JK Rowling is a disgusting transphobe and the thought of giving her a platform of course doesn’t sit well with me, but at this point boycotting HP really won’t make a difference in her wallet because she’s already so obscenely rich from it all.

The Cursed Child tour is coming to my city and I’m usually good about separating from the art from the artist, but I know there are a lot of people from my community that feel very much against the idea of engaging in anything HP anymore because of Rowling’s remarks. I don’t want to go against my community, but I also would like to support a queer HP story constructed and told by several queer artists. I know Rowling herself didn’t write the text of the play, but has a story credit and therefore profits off ticket sales. I don’t like the idea of giving her money, but I would like to support the actors and crew members that work to keep live theatre alive. That’s primarily who this show is benefiting.

Am I wrong? Should I just not see the show?

Thanks in advance.
