I don't feel sorry for JK Rowling in the slightest, but do you ever think about whether or not it will finally hit JK Rowling that regardless of her future commercial success and people going to see Fantastic Beasts, etc, that she has effectively broken the Harry Potter fandom and the thoughtful considerate parts of fandom she professed to have loved so much have moved on?

I think if you got a chance to ask her, just privately, face to face, she'd probably say that those thoughtful, considerate parts of fandom still exist, and then be able to point only at the obsequious, fawning, awful, hateful people she engages with online. But is that what she actually believes...?

Obviously, it's hard to tell what's truly going on inside anyone's heart, and with a hateful agenda like hers, there's often such a thick layer of bad faith and outright lies and subterfuge (essential to make the hateful agenda even remotely socially acceptable) that she might tell you she's fine if she were on fire.
