Question for Potter fans
Advertisements [?]
If you were to discover that Rowling were a raving Neocon, would it affect your enjoyment of the books?

I grant that this scenario is about as unlikely as having the Potter series offered up as the book-of-the-month for the Family Research Council, but I'm curious about what impact, if any, the author's personality might have upon her readers' enjoyment.

For instance, fans of Orson Scott Card are rightly distressed by his sickeningly homophobic views and statements, and I know of a good number who have boycotted his writings as a result. Of course, a lot of Card's shit is unreadable in any case, whereas Rowling is by all accounts a fine storyteller, so perhaps the comparison is flawed...
