geri_chan | Mugglecast Episode #348: J.K. Rowling Responds

Feeling a little better about HP fandom after listening to Mugglecast Episode# 348 in which the hosts discuss JKR's statement in a thoughtful and intelligent manner, pointing out the fallacy that someone who is a nice guy in public can't possibly be an abuser in private, and talking about how they and other fans feel disappointed and let down by JKR, especially since Harry had been abused by the Dursleys and that some fans who had been abused in real life had found comfort and support in the HP world. They also discussed the various ways (with no one particular way being the "right" way) in which they could protest Depp's casting, ranging from boycotting the movie to seeing the movie but donating the price of the ticket to a charity that supports women.
