So it's possible it's a holdover from that, or that Rowling has enough author clout to ask that publishers provide the option?
If there are other books with this Kobo SDRM, I've yet to encounter any. I download my ebook directly after buying, and it was the first time I'd ever seen this. However, as I mostly use my library, I'm not a huge buyer either.

The social DRM (for the Harry Potter eBooks) was from Pottermore. The ePub with DRM or Kindle with DRM did not have social DRM.
