These “Harry Potter” tattoos have lost their magic.
Die-hard adult fans of the fantasy wizard franchise are rushing to rid themselves of their now-tainted ink in light of recent cringe-inducing comments made by J.K. Rowling about trans issues.
The author came under fire again this week for tweets insisting that “sex is real” and then publishing a lengthy — and controversial — personal essay doubling down on her views. The remarks left trans people and supporters incensed and wanting to de-Potter their lives. Rowling even called out some of the Potter purgers in her essay, saying that many had called “for my books to be burned, although one particularly abusive man told me he’d composted them.”
But some went a step further, taking measures to cover or completely remove via lasers their Harry Potter-inspired tattoos in the fallout.
Brooklyn resident Bria Noone, who was “obsessed” with “Harry Potter” for most of her childhood and adult life, decided to part ways with her “Deathly Hallows” symbol chest tattoo — which appears in the seventh book of the series.
She also plans to remove the “Mischief Managed” script underneath, a phrase characters in the novels use to activate a special map.
“I was like ‘Oh God, alright, I need to get this off my body,’ ” Noone, 23, told The Post. “As a lifetime fan and somebody who was influenced so positively by her work, I’m shocked and disgusted that this is what it’s come to.”
The service industry worker, who got the tattoos four years ago, is planning to remove the 6-by-6-inch geometric design and script altogether, since covering it up would be too intensive.
“It’s such a large, black ink tattoo that getting it covered would mean an even larger, even darker tattoo and I don’t want to do that because it’s such a sensitive area,” she said.
A laser removal specialist estimated the cost to be about $800 at the least.
But the price won’t change her mind.
“She pulled the wool over our eyes for long enough,” said Noone. “This [Harry Potter] community is definitely very diverse and she basically spoke out against her entire community — it was like a slap in the face.”
Jordan Gerdes has a 3-inch “Deathly Hallows” symbol inked on his right foot. A life-long lover of “Harry Potter,” the 29-year-old tried, at first, to justify her statements online.
“Just like when any other celebrity says some off-the-wall
s - - t, you try to give them the benefit of the doubt for as long as you can,” said Gerdes, of central Oregon.
But when her essay went live Wednesday, he knew the tat had to go.
“Finally, I just thought ‘Alright, cool, I’m done trying to . . . do the mental gymnastics to give her the benefit of doubt,” he said. “J.K Rowling is a disgusting, bigoted person that I have no reason to find joy in her writing any longer.”
He now plans to cover it with another tattoo soon, and is taking suggestions on Twitter.
For Noone, de-Pottering is a lot more than just removing a tattoo. She’s tempted to trash her custom-made Marauder’s Map rug, Harry Potter T-shirts and special cardigans from Universal’s “Wizarding World of Harry Potter” theme park, too. The theme park issued a statement following Rowling’s comments, saying “our core values include diversity, inclusion and respect.”
But it’s saying goodbye for good to the books and movies that’s the most difficult.
“Every time I see the books or the movies, I’m always going to be like, ‘J.K. Rowling sucks,’ ” said Noone. “It’s definitely going to be an adjustment and I don’t think I’m going to love it as hard.”
Dozens of other Potter heads took to Twitter to vent about what to do with their tats.
“I have a Harry Potter tattoo in my f - - king elbow pit (very painful) and I am about to get it covered up because she might be the densest f - - king person I’ve ever seen,” tweeted Seth Decker. “Gender does not equal sex.”
Jury’s still out on if Pete Davidson will part with his myriad of “Harry Potter” ink.
