    Its not about the age range, but because Rowling wasn’t a hate spewing TERF back then. At lest not publicly.

    Quoting JK Rowling has serious undertones right now. Even more so if the recipient is nonbinary as OP mentioned in another comment. You wouldn’t quote a Nazi to pick up a jewish person, would you?

      Is it quoting Rowling or quoting one of HP characters?

        HP characters are not sentient being who speak for themselves. They are still rowlings words.
