Well, I've heard complaints about being "Jossed" yet again and I've certainly heard bitching about Indy. The major upset with recent additions to the Tolkien universe has been the suspicion that very little of it was really JRRT's work beyond bare notes and outlines.
I think that all fandoms have a sense of "don't mess with THIS part of what I love" -- HP may seem more notable than most because it is an enormous and yet varied fandom where people are interested in protecting their vision of the characters. That's entitlement, I'd agree.
However, if that's entitlement, I'm probably an example of an entitled fan. I was horrified, yesterday, to read rumours that they're casting a new love interest for Superman in the next Superman movie. You can't supplant Lois, in my books!
