TL;DR Summary

The Museum of Pop Culture in Seattle has removed all traces of JK Rowling from its Harry Potter exhibition due to her "super hateful and divisive" views. The decision was made by project manager Chris Moore, who is transgender, and aims to reduce Rowling's impact on the display. The museum has kept the Harry Potter memorabilia on display but without any mention of the author. Rowling has become a controversial figure in recent years for her views on gender and transgender rights, leading to criticism from the trans community and some of the actors from the Harry Potter films.
