Wow I thought she was perhaps subtle about her hatred, and that's why she isn't universally rejected yet, but apparently that's not the case:
I have not met a single Harry Potterfan in my generation or previous who have anything good to say about Rowling. Most people who loved the series still love it and don't give a shit what derailed in the mind of the person who made it.
It's one of the more profound Death of the Author moments in modern media. And I think it's great, take away her only claim to fame,adopt it and let the fans run wild with it, I'm sure her money alone will make her endlessly happy for the rest of her life.
i love the trio and most of the cast from the movies so much.
i love darren criss and everyone in starkid
i love pottercast, mugglenet, and leaky.
jk rowling though? i honestly don't care i used to like it when i had twitter and she would do the wands up in may for the battle of hogwarts but even then it became clear that she didn't care
i don't just read hp though. i also love chris colfers land of stories and so many other book series since then (i have a lot more on goodreads i just can't list them all)
