The message from a series of 7 seasonsone for each book in the saga has had fans raving Harry Pottereven if there are also rather skeptical and backward positions reboot which apparently will be officially put into the pipeline soon. The participation of JK RowlingAuthor of the book cycle of magic world with whom, of course, the final contract must be signed, which would not, however, engage her as the main screenwriter, but nevertheless there are quite a few observers who have already voiced sharp criticism of her reassignment role as producerespecially after the allegations of transphobia for the positions that Rowling has expressed in the recent past.
A number of fans took to social media to criticize the working relationship Warner Bros. Discovery with Rowling, as well as the need for a reboot show. The controversy began in 2020 when Rowling released a series of tweets contesting a publication’s use of the phrase “people who menstruate,” arguing that “women” should have been used instead. A later letter from the author on her blog and other interventions in interviews did not improve her position.
Someone writes: «The separation of art from artist is very important when it comes to the Harry Potter franchise. Yes, JK Rowling might be the baddest children’s author alive, but let’s not forget that the idea of a Harry Potter TV reboot sucks.” Someone else says, “JKR destroyed everything that was special about Harry Potter», while someone else states: «A few years ago that would have been a dream. Now it’s a slap in the face. JKR destroyed everything that was special about Harry Potter and there is no universe where I would support anything that literally brings money or credit to a villain like her.”
Another post said: “JK Rowling wants to restart Harry Potter because millennials have drifted away from them for various reasons. So she wants zoomers to get involved too, but she’s toxic to most zoomers so her involvement is a problem in itself.” One former fan remarked, “Look, I’m saying this as the most embarrassing millennial and former HP enthusiast: We’ll never need Harry Potter content again. Don’t give JK Rowling another penny».
Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson (who play Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, respectively) have both publicly expressed their disapproval of Rowling’s comments, while others like Ralph Fiennes (who played Voldemort) and Helena Bonham Carter (Bellatrix Lestrange) tended to side in his favour took , or at least for freedom of speech and against online shitstorms. More recently, Evanna Lynch (Luna Lovegood’s interpreter) has also assisted the author.
