    Sounds like they should cancel the series, since it primarily exists to distance Rowling from the naysayers who were in the movies. Now that those in the series are also opposed to her views… what’s even the point anymore?

      I think the need to make her cash cow make more cash overrides her need to push her shitty views on other people. That said maybe she plans on making the cash cow do both with the upcoming series, I guess only the people who actually watch it will be the ones to find out.

        Fair point. A part of me does want to watch the series, because I was a fan of the books and the movies way back when (before JK Rowling was a dumpster fire). There’s a reason I haven’t bought the movies on Blu-ray/4K. Or the new audiobooks (I don’t have the old ones, either.) And why I won’t be watching the show. I did buy the game, Hogwarts Legacy, on Xbox, on a fire sale, it was like ten bucks. The one with a trans character in Hogsmeade that takes place like 100 years before Voldemort’s birth. Pretty sure JK Rowling does not approve of that game.

          Yeah it’s annoying that she couldn’t help herself but use her fame and fortune to push a shitty bigoted opinion. Her books brought so much joy to so many but her opinions have really tainted everything’s she’s touched.
