harry potter is an extremely lib series. the superpower of the protagonist, like bruce wayne, is being born into wealth. His trademark quality is arrogance and waltzing through ridiculous situations on account of his birth. All the characters go to private school. The plot and character development is overall pretty bad, by the standards of adult fiction. And the fans. My god the fans.
But why this TERF bullshit isn't surprising is the shitty way that JK Rowling has portrayed even cis women in that Harry Potter series. Her work was widely criticized for her weak ass female characters. So it is unsurprising that more misogynist crap is coming out, particularly TERF stuff because it is a way of psychologically overcompensating for the really terrible gender politics of her body of work, which were offensive even to cis women.

they're usually functioning in that series as either romantic interests for the other characters, or relatively one-dimensional foils compared to the men/boys.

Which is ironic since she's always portrayed by the media as a capitalist success story (single mother living in poverty writes children's book, becomes filthy rich and successful).

She's liked some terfy tweets in the past. It was pretty much common knowledge she was a terf, this is just definitive confirmation
