Maybe they were only aware of Rowling once her transphobia came to light?

come on dude, everyone knows harry potter

Everyone knows a popular book series.

Not everyone knows, or even cares about the author.

Lol, that might be me, almost. I knew the movies and books existed (I think I have watched one), but I kinda doubt I remembered the writer's name. Just few years ago I made a friend who critisized the writer about her transphobic views and that's kinda how I got to know her😅

(I have to admit, I'm bad at watching movies/series or reading literature and just few years ago I tried to start reading literature systematically.)
