Another bookstore pulls JK Rowling's books and returns them, after Rowling promised to.use the profits from .sales of Harry Potter books to harass and attack trans people.
Throw them out, build the boycott of Rowling products, books movies.

Get it at the library, just don't add to her war chest by buying one.
@kevinrns @atlovato Sadly burning a lib. book would a) result in you getting fined, but importantly, b) result in the lib. replacing the book with a new copy.
If anything ppl that feel they must read HP for w/e reason, should be supported reading it via the lib., beyond that if you must violate HP books at the lib, just scribble a note about jojo being a transphobic swine in the space above chapter headings - so the lib *prob* won't consider it damaged enough to replace, but it'll send a msg.
Yes, surprisingly, this was my point as well.
@atlovato @kevinrns I wouldn't read the Mein Kampf, but I wouldn't burn it, either.
Knowing what is in the heart of someone who is hateful doesn't spawn new Fascists, but what does is the senseless choice to put it into practice. Fascists burn books, bud.
Libraries should keep it. And used Bookstores. Because (in the US anyway) JK Rowling doesn't make a dime off of rentals or second hand sales. If someone doesn't want her to profit but grew up reading Harry Potter and misses them, they can get a copy that way.
