Hey I want y'all to know that I'm locking this, but:
I agree with OP. Burning Harry Potter books doesn't hurt anyone. No one here would give a shit if it was burning a copy of some horrid book. And Harry Potter isn't going to be out of print any time soon.
When Nazis did it, it was a complete removal of the only copies of a queer library in Germany. OP can't do that to Harry Potter.
I'm only locking this to save the mod team and the admins the headache. I can only expect transphobia, ableism, and "but that nazis also burned books!!! youre as bad as the nazis!!!!".
- “hurrrr durrrr both sides are bad ackshually”
  this is you, this is what you sound like.
  
  Nah, it's much closer to Nietzsche's "Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process they do not become monsters."
I do not like the cunt but destroying books is a line even I won't cross. Just don't feed into the wizarding world anymore. Move on.
- i felt differently about my personal childhood copies after coming out as a trans woman ¯(ツ)_/¯ it’s not like i went to the shop and bought a new set just to burn like a republican would have
- The tone just got very fast very hostile in this Instance. And I don't like that at all.
This Instance just got really hostile reaaaaaaaaaaally fast. I don't like this vibe at all ._.
- Coming from somebody on the instance that defederated the piracy communities just because someone put a post up saying “piracy is illegal and bad” 😂😂😂
  
  Yes and now that is clear there is no legal threat they are back. So what was your point?
Yeah, shit books for simpletons. And that's before we get into any of the political shit.
