Idk, maybe you shouldn't be enshrining material from a jackass. Other IP exists.

I'm not sure what you mean by enshrining, but in any case, don't give that maggot a single cent, whether or not you partake in the content with her name on it.

Consuming the content still grants it cultural strength and influence.

That's true - best practice would absolutely be to completely abstain from it. Some people are die-hard about that shit though, so for those who do for some reason need a fix periodically, do so in a way that mitigates the negative impact as much as possibly - namely by finding ways to do things for free that would otherwise send income to JKR to be used for her evil bullshit.

As someone who watches crappy home-counties daytime British TV, my taste is to watch it and overthink it. Harry Potter is crap enough that I will watch it to mock it via piracy. It doesn't mean that I don't complain at anyone i know for playing that shitty video game.
