For one thing, this is a deep misunderstanding of what "death of the author" means. Like, it just does not mean what you think it means. For another thing, I fundamentally disagree that whether or not one engages with Harry Potter fandom is a clear signal of whether one shares transphobic beliefs. If transphobes believe that, then they are being overwhelmingly fatuously stupid. Which is to be expected of transphobes but which doesn't mean we should cater to their deep and fundamental misunderstandings of how the world works. We shouldn't cede that ground to them and affirm their belief that all Harry Potter fans are transphobes. Finally, the argument that JKR still financially benefits from the Harry Potter franchise is true but sort of besides the point, because it's very easy to be a fan of the series in a way that doesn't monetarily benefit her.

All that said, I don't really have a opinion about whether people shoild be fans of the series or not. Do whatever. I just think OP's arguments don't make sense.
