J.K. Rowling is a monumentally successful novelist mostly known for young adult novels like the Harry Potter series. She is also deeply transphobic and has spent a great deal of her time over the past few years making her opinions on trans issues known. The controversy surrounding her views has led many to consider her work in a new light. Will her work stand the test of time, or was the love for her novels based on nostalgia now muddled by social media tirades?

This market will resolve YES if any of the following are true on January 1, 2053:

  • In the previous 12 months (Jan-Dec 2052), a J.K. Rowling book sold at least 100,000 copies worldwide

  • In the previous 2 years (2050-2052) an article in one of the five most subscribed-to magazines listed a Rowling work in a 'best-of' list, or a list of classics (invalid if the list is a list of forgotten works, or works that used to be popular, etc.)

  • In the previous 10 years (2042-2052), Rowling was awarded a Newbury Award, a Nobel Prize in Literature or a Booker Prize

The market will resolve NO otherwise.
