According to Temptalia, ColourPop's decision to collaborate with the "Harry Potter" series has caused huge disappointment for fans. The main reason for this disappointment is that J.K. Rowling, the creator of the infamous wizarding franchise, has come under fire in the past few years for her comments about trans people (via Glamour). Many trans people considered these comments hurtful and transphobic, especially coming from a popular author.
Moreover, considering that ColourPop is a company that has outwardly supported the LGBTQIA community on several occasions, its decision to affiliate itself with Rowling is leaving fans with cold feet (via Rolling Stone).
Beauty influencers were also left outraged by ColourPop's decision. As outlined by Business Insider, trans makeup artist Lilly Teel, who boasts an impressive 106,000 followers on TikTok, tweeted, "Bye ColourPop. Won't be using you anymore." Additionally, influencer Chrissy Chlapecka, who has 5 million followers on TikTok, expressed her disappointment in the brand's decision to create a "Harry Potter"-inspired collection.
