'While the reader's perspective is an important part of interpretation and meaning, it is impossible to completely divorce a work from its creator,' a TikTok creator said in a video while burning 'Harry Potter' books.
Over on Twitter, a discussion around burning Rowling's books is circulating also, as many former fans react to one of the controversial elements of her latest book"Troubled Blood". The fifth in her Cormoran Strike detective novel series under the pseudonym Robert Galbraith features a plotline involving a male serial killer who disguises himself in women's clothing.
A Guardian review of the book condemned the"utterly tone-deaf decision to include an evil man who cross-dresses after months of pain among trans people and their allies,"another example of the author's transphobia. Irish popstars Jedward tweeted:"Does anyone need firewood this winter! JK's new book is perfect to burn next to a Romantic fire. Aww get all cozy and comfy can't wait."
