There was a lot of fuss regarding this issue as one of the most highly regarded and renowned authors in the world got her title removed from the bestseller.

Chris Moore, the project manager of the exhibition of the museum had his say on this topic. He slammed the author relentlessly without any mercy marking her comments as vague and believed that she needs to be punished.

He called Rowling a “cold, heartless, joy-sucking entity’” and said, “We would love to go with the internet’s theory that these books were actually written without an author’, he writes, ‘but this certain person is a bit too vocal with her super hateful and divisive views to be ignored.” He also accused Riowling of representing her emotions in the Harry Potter book accusing her of promoting “racial stereotypes, fat shaming, and LGBTQIA+ representation”.
