   @mattly I have a friend who reads them with her trans kid and edits the most egregious stuff on the fly and puts other things in context. But she’s an English lit major and is very deep in HP-lore and parenting and teaching and I’d understand if that’s not something you wanna take on. Lmk if you ever wanna chat with them. 🫶

     I think you could look at it this way: Let them know the world their peers know all about, let them read the books, and watch the movies when old enough. Point out and discuss the negative tropes when they arise.

     The discussion of art tainted by artist comes later. In the meantime, just don't give her any money: Get the books and movies from the library.

     @mattly - Our kids are older, and of course we read them multiple times long before JK turned out to be such an anathema.

     At this point, while there is a complex conversation about can one disentangle the artist from the art... Your 7 year old probably isn't there yet.
