The crusade to erase JK Rowling continues. The latest ruse of the Rowlingphobes is to scrub her name from her own books. Yes, they now want to make even the Harry Potter universe a Rowling-free zone.
A ‘book artist’ in Toronto by the name of Laur Flom has set himself the task of memory-holing Rowling. He is rebinding Harry Potter books, giving them new covers that make no mention of the witch’s name, and even removing her name from the copyright and title pages inside.
The aim, he says, is to ‘help out’ people who are fans of Harry Potter but who have an ethical issue with Ms Rowling. ‘The project is spurred by her transphobia’, he says. In short, Rowling believes in biological sex, and thus she must be unpersoned. For a cool £140, you can purchase one of Flom’s lovingly purged Potter books.
Imagine the kind of people who’ll be buying these morally disinfected tomes.
