J.K. Rowling has defied cancel culture after Pottermore saw a surge in pre-tax profits for the fiscal year 2023.
The author, who soared to fame with her Harry Potter series was ‘cancelled’ in 2020 after she voiced her stance on protecting sex-based rights for women.
The iconic author published an essay online in which she claimed – as a domestic violence survivor – that she felt allowing trans people to use single-sex bathrooms and changing rooms could be “offering cover to predators”.
Her stance has caused fans and stars of the wizarding world like Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Eddie Redmayne to speak out against the author.
This sparked a furious backlash from her follower who said that she had “destroyed her legacy.”
However this has not been proven to be true as Rowling’s renowned Harry Potter series and affiliated Wizarding World titles, experienced profits soaring in 2023.
The figures rose to £9.4 million, marking a substantial increase from the previous year’s £5.7 million.
Pottermore Publishing is the global digital audiobook and eBook publisher of J.K. Rowling’s multi-million bestselling Harry Potter series and associated titles from the Wizarding World.
