A Harry Potter store in New York City has caught the attention of the internet after displaying the trans-inclusive Progress Pride flag.

An image of the store, on New York’s world-famous Broadway, was shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the caption: “the harry potter store in new york has progress flag window displays”.

The flag decoration, celebrating Pride month, reflects all facets of the community and is trans-inclusive, featuring the trans Pride colours of white, blue and pink. 

Harry Potter author JK Rowling, who has a large online following, has been at the centre of controversy in recent years because of her polarising views on trans rights. She has mocked gender-neutral language, misgendered trans people and criticised trans individuals.
