Trans cultists have more in common with Maga loons than they appreciate.
I'm kind of the opinion that Harry Potter should have just ended with the deathly hallows book and 2 movies.
you drag out and milk an IP for too long and you just become star wars. and that isnt a compliment.
But the line must go up!
This sucks. I mean, I read Harry Potter as an adult, and still loved the stories, even if some parts were problematic (Cho Chang? The Irish kid blows stuff up? REALLY?). But I refuse to give that woman any of my money to do more evil with.
What was wrong with cho chang?
it just follows a trend of jkr using really shitty stereotypical names and sometimes just using down right offensive names. the only Asian character is cho chang, the only black character is literally named kingsley shacklebolt, etc. in Hogwarts legacy they named the first trans women in the series sirona ryan.

Harry Potter is one of the few IP’s that I 100% pirate guilt-free. In many cases, I use piracy to “try out” things before I buy them. For instance, I have the *arr stack running on my Jellyfin server, but most of the media on it is from my old DVD/Blu-ray collection. I have a few pirated games, but end up buying most of them if I enjoy them.
But not with Harry Potter. That shit gets pirated and stays pirated. I have the e-books and movies torrented, and will never spend a dime on them. I’ll never buy anything with a Hogwarts house on it. I’ll never stream any of the movies on Max. As far as capitalism is concerned, I have a full Harry Potter blackout.
If he really wants it to do badly, he should join the show and then get killed off two episodes in. Apparently this makes shows do pretty badly...
Remember family guys skits of jk Rowling, they kinda predicted her current behavior, one of them was Peter "reminiscing "now problematic jk Rowling writing, and the other

Probably this right here is the second one?
I love Pedro Pascal.
So many queers grew up on Harry Potter. If you still cherish the series from before the author apparently had a stroke, and can't give it up, you can at least do society a favour by sailing the high seas (pirate it).
I wasn't gonna watch it anyways but if Pedro says don't, I sure as heck ain't!
I'm gonna not watch it even harder!

Joanne’s really milking this cash cow for all it’s worth, and then some. Guess that’s your only option when you’re a one-hit wonder, though. Must not have stumbled across any new content she’s interested in plagiarizing.
one-hit wonder,
Yeah, no kidding, I had tried everything else she did before she started getting really noisy, none of it was remotely interesting.
Stopped me from buying the books for my kids quickly enough, though.
I mean, you could tell the point in book 4 where they said "Fuck it, bring in the ghost writers".
I doubt she's probably written anything in 30 years that wasn't drunkenly pounded out on Twitter
HBO previously did a adaption of The Casually Vacancy. I never watched it but I read the book which is terrible.
Oh, what did you find terrible about the book? I thought it was sad but written with a lot of empathy. I liked the gray characters. It was even worse for me to realize what JKR was like after reading this book that seemed so right to me. But maybe I overlooked something.
I mean… all her bullshit aside anyway; It’s too soon for a Harry Potter remake.
I still can't wrap my head around who this is meant to be for. Fans that are old enough to have grown up with the original series are never going to like this and fans that are younger will still have seen the old series. It's not like it's so old it's unwatchable.
I don't understand how anybody in an executive position thought this was a good idea, especially because there is loads of stuff you could make a show about in the wizarding world universe (cough marauders cough).
It’s meant for the people hoping to make money off of it. Just like the LOTR series.
i've been a harry potter fan since 2000. i went to multiple leakycons and pottercast tapings. i posted on leaky. i went to midnight shows. i discovered starkid bc of it. i used to pay international shippings for the uk books. hp saved my life before i was out of the closet.
i would have been so excited for this if it happened 15 years ago. now? i just don't care. i want it to go away. i'm much more interested in the twilight anniversary. hp is just go away heat now.
also anyone who is looking for an alternative; chris colfer's land of stories series is AMAZING.
