Transphobia aside (I can't believe I'm saying this) what contributions to literature? I'm not the most well read person, but even I know that everything JKR has written is drivel: racist, homophobic, antisemitic garbage that's as devoid of literary value as advertisement copy.
I think one could argue that the HP books got kids to read more but I don't know to what extent that's true, and that's still easily counteracted by all the harm she has done with the profits of her book sales. In terms of actually "contributions to literature", IIRC even most of her fans agree that everything after the third book is pretty shit.
If one were to argue such, I would say it was a very poor argument. There were plenty of other, quality fantasy series out that were targeting the same age group at the time her books were being written. The genre was slightly novel and it was just pushed on kids at school as the new shiny series.
