Please… for the love of god, just stop reading Harry Potter. There are other god damn fantasy series out there, and ones that don’t give money and attention to a person helping to directly harm trans people.
i swear at god. I got an email advertising this an hour ago.
@humblebundle.com a disclaimer saying that the charity was "not involved in the selection of the content in this promotion" and that the content "do[es] not reflect or represent the views and opinions" doesn't absolve you of anything

Honestly was going to cape for Mugglenet a little because they came out against Rowling very loudly in 2020, but with the tiniest bit of research it's clear with their sponsorships, comment moderation, and lack of engagement on the topic in general, that this is an extremely limp, empty gesture.
Just expanding, what I found out:
- The Trevor Project and GLAAD helped Mugglenet write that 2020 statement 'We will no longer link to her site' etc.
- The site creator then came out in support of Rowling anyway
- Their sponsorships sell licensed merch, ergo the website itself is profiting Rowling

So if the Trevor Project wasn't involved in selecting what was in the bundle, it seems pretty clear to me Mugglenet is no longer in cooperation with them, which means that at most this is a really pathetic effort to rinse their public image ahead of the new Potter series. Ghoulish.
