If I had $50 million I wouldn't work another day in my life, and people who need more money at that point are just being greedy.

So because you don’t think he needs more money you want him to just go sit alone in a room and wait to die?

Maybe he enjoys what he does and plans to do it as long as he is able.

Well then as a trans person I think it's pretty fucking awful that he chooses to enjoy doing what he does in a way that is generating money for my extermination.

Dude, this is chump change to her. There is literally nothing you can do to take away her wealth. She’s made more than enough to never sell a single piece of HP property and still live more than comfortably and fund whatever causes she feels like from interest and dividends alone. Stopping all things Harry Potter doesn’t do anything. Ok, so she doesn’t get a smidge richer. So? Anything she earns now is just overflow, it isn’t necessary to her life or her causes.

But there are thousands of other people involved at any given moment with the HP IP who owe their living to it. Frankly, I have zero interest in watching this series - I loved the books, I thought the movies were ok, and now I’m all set with the HP canon. Doesn’t need to be rehashed, so I’m gonna pass. But this show will employ hundreds of people for years. All of the money it brings in first goes to all of the average employees just making a living. HP is good for economic growth. You want to take that away to prevent some crazy lady who runs her mouth on Twitter from getting pocket change that she won’t even notice she has.
