J.K. Rowling’s transphobic comments apparently haven’t led to her cancellation, but they have vexed the Harry Potter fandom, which has had to find ways to continue enjoying characters they love while separating themselves from the creator. On TikTok, Harry Potter fans are “reality shifting” in an attempt to experience Hogwarts. So it’s no surprise fans are also rewriting characters to assert ownership, and create representation lacking in Rowling’s books. One recent trend frames the casting of characters in a hypothetical. “If J.K. Rowling made a Latino character,” goes one viral TikTok, which imagines Rowling’s writing of the character as racist caricature.
