I watched the entirety of game of thrones off pirated sites as it released, I think that I can manage ethically watching something like this show.

Now whether I would want to is another question. The me too movement ruined a lot of media for me so I probably wouldn’t watch this anyway, the ick factor from Rowling taints it

Tbf, there’s no ethical consumption of anything. The system (writ large) taints everyone and everything.

That said, fuck JKR and her crappy worn out franchise.

I can disconnect a person from their art, but I won't pay to support it, so if I was a child into wizards and dragons I'd just torrent it.
