El tema de LEGO Harry Potter ha sido bastante popular entre la comunidad de LEGO. Recientemente, la autora y creadora de Harry Potter, JK Rowling, ha recibido mucha crítica por sus comunicados en sus redes sociales. Fanáticos de LEGO han preguntado vía redes sociales si JK Rowling tiene alguna influencia en los juegos de LEGO Harry Potter. La respuesta a esta pregunta pudiera desanimar a los fanáticos a comprar estos sets.
El departamento de Relaciones Públicas de LEGO brindó una respuesta a este tema. Puedes leer el comunicado oficial a continuación en su versión original (inglés):
There is no place for discrimination in our society. Our mission is to inspire the builders of tomorrow, and that includes inspiring them to be empathetic, kind and inclusive both through our products and our learning through play programmes.
Our partnership to create Wizarding World sets is with Warner Bros, not JK Rowling. Warner Brothers receives the royalty fees from the sales of LEGO Harry Potter sets. You will need to contact Warner Brothers directly to ask them how they distribute these funds.
Since Diversity and Inclusion are a focus for us, we also work with non-profit organisations that support LGBTQ+ children. In Connecticut we have donated to TRUE COLORS, a non-profit organisation that works with social service agencies, schools, organisations and within communities to ensure that the needs of sexual and gender minority youth are both recognised and competently met.
UK we are also working with Diversity Role Models, an organisation that helps to educate all children about the importance of inclusion and empathy for all.; and Albert Kennedy Trust, an organisation that provides housing and support for LGBTQ+ youth.
