Eh. I haven't touched an HP book in years, but I still have some from when I was like ten (which was...decades ago). One was a gift from a dearly beloved teacher so it stays.

I don't care if people have copies of books they used to love from before it turned out the author was a big piece of shit. I'm sure plenty of folks still have Gaiman or MZB books from prior to being outed as detestable. It's whatever.

Universal is more tricky since they do actively profit off of the franchise (and thus JKR gets those royalties). I personally wouldn't go but I also wouldn't blame people for going in general. Going to potterworld though does leave a bad taste in the mouth.

Yeah, I would assume the books and the pics were from the before times.

Expecting people to throw books away (or what...hide them?) is weird.

I deconverted at least 20 years ago but still kept my bible and some theology books on my shelf for a very long time out of sheer inertia. I honestly do believe a lot of people just forget that they're there - you see that shelf every day and as long as nothing changes, it registers as background noise to your life.

eventually, though, it catches up to you. I donated most of my books and boxed away the rest at long last, because I did reach a point of realizing that constant presence on my shelf was a reminder of the person I no longer am. I expect a lot of HP fans will do the same at some point, so I won't look down on them for not being there yet.

Yeah, every now and then I go through the sheer amount of books I have and donate them. Most my HP ones have stayed just because they are severely damaged and I feel a way about straight up chucking books into a garbage bin. It's a weird push and pull between "do I keep this book by this crappy author" and "do I throw the book into recycling". The latter will eventually win out, I'm sure.
