Thank you.

It's like. This certain type of fan seems to think that the author who took the time and effort to *create* the whole fictional universe, should be the one completely leaving it behind and not touching it anymore, because apparently fans somehow have more rights to the work than the creator does. What.

I mean, I haven't really kept close track of what's been going on in the potterverse after the books ended. I did read that short story that came out a while ago. Wouldn't mind if there'd be more of those now and then, I'd read them if they cross my path, and if I don't like them, I can just ignore. And sure, there are some fictional works where I feel like new installments probably shouldn't be added because the story feels very complete as it is (like I'm very cautious about Toy Story 4, because the ending of the third one was so... ending... so it might've been narratively better to leave it there).

But acting like authors should completely leave behind their own work just so the fans can keep obsessing with it is rather ridiculously entitled. Doesn't mean you have to like the new material as much as the old material. Doesn't even mean you have to read/watch the new material. Personal preferences, criticism, and all that. Sometimes the new material just plain IS worse (like with many unplanned sequels).
But being a fan doesn't give anyone more rights to the work than the actual freaking author has.
