Harry Potter and the Shame of Being an Adult Fan in 2020 is an essay zine by H.G. Indorato. Indorato describes the contents thusly:

In this essay I discuss my thoughts about separating art from artist, cringe culture, and navigating a 'childish' special interest. It is a very personal reflection on the importance of special interests, what it means to be a Harry Potter fan, and the ethical dilemmas that arise in light of JKR's outspokenness on trans issues.

Fan Comments: From Etsy

Important opinion piece as we navigate life’s complexities. Focused, well written imo. If you’re into Harry Potter/JK Rowling controversy/ the cognitive dissonance of being a fan in general it’s worth a read.

A thoughtful zine for fellow Harry Potter fans who might too feel ashamed. It's both a critical and reassuring read!

Good thoughts and very relatable!

This is a really important read and I would recommend it to HP fans. Thank you for creating and sharing this with us all.

Very interesting read. Articulated my thoughts exactly!

Thank you for this very insightful essay! I lent it to my friend and landlady who bought JKR 's latest piece of trash. I'm gutted and disappointed in her.
