I dont recall any group of people that burns books to be on the right side of history

Agreed. This is stupid, and distracting.

I don't agree with what Rowling believes and I have no problem with people deciding they don't want to give money to her. But the book burning—however symbolic it might be—is a really bad look; makes otherwise justifiable criticism of her look extreme and authoritarian.
