Funny thing is, I bought the Harry Potter ebooks back when they were only available through Pottermore. Last time I checked, you couldn’t actually download them through the website anymore. Which is funny because the site only allowed 7 downloads or someshit. (I think that I failed to download one file, that counted as one download anyway, and the queer idea of “fuck this greedy hag” started to percolate in my mind.) How many downloads did I need? One. Thankfully in the unlikely event I need to access this shit, it’s sitting in my Calibre library. Where it has been sitting ever since.
Pirate the shit of any JK Rowling related thing…

Read the Harriet Porber books by Chuck Tingle instead.
Reading bigoted shit for free is still training your mind to think bigoted thoughts.
That depends how you read it. Uncritically for wish fulfillment? Obviously. As a portrait of the author’s mind? Not at all.
I think some experience reading fiction written for literate adults would do most people good.
