Wat is jullie visie op inclusiviteit en fandoms zoals Harry Potter?
At Celtic WebMerchant, we stand for an inclusive community where everyone is welcome. We sell products from various fandoms and historical themes, including those of Harry Potter, but do not support discriminatory viewpoints.
Our vision focuses on the following core values:
- Connection: We believe that fandoms bring people together through a shared passion.
- Creativity: The stories serve as inspiration for self-expression and craftsmanship.
- Respect for everyone: We create an environment where every enthusiast feels safe and valued.
The broader impact of the Wizarding World
While the author of the books is a public figure with her own viewpoints, the "Wizarding World" has grown into an ecosystem much larger than one person. It provides employment to tens of thousands of people worldwide, from actors and graphic designers to the creators of the merchandise you find with us.
Among these professionals are many people from the LGBTQ+ community, who contribute their talent and passion to the films, games, and theater productions. By continuing to embrace the franchise, you also support the creatives who make this world more inclusive from within.
Why Harry Potter remains a positive force
The stories themselves still contain valuable lessons for many fans that stand in stark contrast to exclusion:
- Choices over heritage: A central theme is that our choices define who we are, much more than our heritage or innate traits.
- Fight against injustice: The book series is fundamentally about the fight against prejudice and a regime that believes in "pure blood."
- Friendship and loyalty: The stories emphasize that friendship and love are the strongest weapons against hate.
For many, Harry Potter is a symbol of hope and a place where "outsiders" find their strength. We choose to celebrate that unifying power.
