@EarlOfEmsworth The big difference here is that Wagner is dead. Listening to his music doesn't support his views. Giving money to JK though, is supporting her here and now, and she will use that money and support to hurt real people, right now.

I'm not sure it has to be an either/or. One can still enjoy Potter without agreeing with Rowling. (At least, if Stephen Fry can love Wagner's works despite knowing everything Wagner was, it's clearly possible.)But I couldn't agree more. Pterry was a far better writer, and a lovely human being. (Though I may be a bit biased: been a fan since 1988 ?)
