Hey I want y'all to know that I'm locking this, but:

I agree with OP. Burning Harry Potter books doesn't hurt anyone. No one here would give a shit if it was burning a copy of some horrid book. And Harry Potter isn't going to be out of print any time soon.

When Nazis did it, it was a complete removal of the only copies of a queer library in Germany. OP can't do that to Harry Potter.

I'm only locking this to save the mod team and the admins the headache. I can only expect transphobia, ableism, and "but that nazis also burned books!!! youre as bad as the nazis!!!!".

I do not like the cunt but destroying books is a line even I won't cross. Just don't feed into the wizarding world anymore. Move on.

i felt differently about my personal childhood copies after coming out as a trans woman ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ it’s not like i went to the shop and bought a new set just to burn like a republican would have

The tone just got very fast very hostile in this Instance. And I don't like that at all.

Yeah, shit books for simpletons. And that's before we get into any of the political shit.
