Not from the 800K+ fanfics , or in general from all the fanart.

The Death of the Author is a pre-Internet reflection on personal interpretation over an author's views.

Nowadays, it's way more than that: whole fandoms can tear an author's work to shreds, run with only the parts they like, and not look back. Rowling is no longer in control, or much of an influence, she's merely coasting on her previous fame for those unaware. Right now, most of the fandom is quite critical of her views, not only on trans people, but also some other troubling aspects of her work... and they make the overwhelming majority of works in the Harry Potter universe.
