Got all excited when I saw HP, but it’s Potter, not Lovecraft. More power to ’em, but I wish it were not in that notable transphobe’s world. Thinking of all the other sci-fi that goes from fantasy to modern to sci-fi … Zahn’s Spinneret, Stross’ “Merchant Princes TNG”, etc.

Agreed, but Lovecraft is at least as problematical.
After reading his later letters I strongly disagree. He was a paranoid xenophobe but he's nowhere as malicious.
Oh gods yes. His shadow looms large over the mythos. Thankfully there’s been stuff like Winter Tide, but we also don’t have HPL doing interviews for the papers or on TV - we can reckon with who he was. She keeps making it more problematic.
Haven't we been saying to put Hatsune Miku to work on prying this from that crone's grasp for years now?
Science fiction AF /s
