    I still like Harry Potter and don’t blame people for still enjoying it, it’s just too bad the writer sucks ass. Imo if you wanna still play Harry Potter games, or watch the movies, go pirate them. You get to enjoy the series without giving the writer money. Win-win imo.

        Library books aren’t free. They are paid for by the library and the author gets a payment per lend (called Public Lending Rights). Not sure how it works for games, but I would be shocked if it’s not a similar system.

          Not for games, but for books you can just read them at the library. No lend, no payment.

            Good point! There’s still the initial payment, but that’s absolutely minimal!

      Most importantly, remember to talk about it at every possible occasion, because the 95% of the people who think JKR’s opinions are pretty commonplace and thus have no problems buying her stuff will learn about the all the things she’s selling.
