At the end of the day JK is a business woman, now that her new book is coming out, it patently obvious to me that she’s done everything she’s done and said over the past few months, to garner whatever interest she could to further her sales, it’s the same as Piers Morgan stoking they ‘woke culture war’ to promote his new book and Lawrence Fox turning into a right wing rent-a-gob to elevate a flagging career, it’s a shame she’s had to go down this route because she’s a decent writer.

Totally disagree with that, JK Rowling is pretty left and has spent a lot of her time trying to appease people by making Dumbledore gay, Hermione could be black etc. She's also back tracked on a couple of likes on this debate previously so I think she was very reluctant to publicly get involved in the discussion for a long time for fear of this kind of backlash, ultimately though she's decided to speak
