      and this is why I think it’ll die on the third season or something. I know the average person who will watch this doesn’t know about her craziness or doesn’t give a flying fuck about trans rights, but they do have a short attention span (as many do now alas), a deep attachment to the original IP (both books and movies) and lack the intense loyalty to keep watching this show if it does end up being mediocre or outright crappy. we can’t count on people’s morals to dictate their wallet usage but bore them and they’re gone. although this may be wishful thinking!

      i feel like this show was made for millennial parents who want to force their kids to like the same media they did

      i can’t see many actual kids being hyped for this, Harry Potter really isn’t that popular with kids anymore.

    4. From what I know about Warwick Davis as a person I wouldn’t be shocked if he actually demanded this of the studio.

      “what is the point of the new harry potter show” you could actually stop there. Do we need another adaptation, and another, and another one? Is Harry Potter universe still that undiscovered? Of course I know it’s all about money but who is watching all of that?

      what is the point of doing a remake like 10-20 years after the original? it took them like 10 years to make the first batch so it’s like they started the remake right after they finished it. why not make something fresh with a fresh property??? I wrote HBO an angry email when they said they were doing a Harry Potter show and I hope the show BOMBS for numerous reasons. will not be watching it.

    7. Warwick Davis runs an agency for actors with dwarfism, he could’ve given someone new the opportunity whilst avoiding the controversy at the same time, eurgh

    8. I feel like this series is gonna bomb so hard. The amount of people I saw bullying the kid who plays Harry (based on one picture of him in costume) is so concerning. Really hope the child stars have down-to-earth, supportive parents.

      She wants to erase the legacy of the original trio because they refused to join her in her bigotry and then use the money to kill more trans people.

    10. Cant wait for them to discover the Multiversa Connectia spell and bring back everyone from movie series

    11. To earn more blood money to donate to anti-trans funds or whatever it is JK Horfing is up to. She wants to stick it to the OG cast for embarrassing her for having extremely loser-like views.

    12. The only reason the show is being made is so JK Rowling can get more money to find her hate filled anti-trans rhetoric, and to displace the original 3 actors who have all denounced her publicly.

      I side eye anyone who supports this project.

    13. Tom Felton’s happy to play anyone it. Lucius Malfoy. Draco’s previously unseen uncle. The hat. Anything really.

      It would be wild if the same evangelical groups who screamed witchcraft and banned a generation from HP now embrace it because JK is so anti trans like them.

      This is a silly question bc I have read the books as an adult quasi-recently. Is it canon/specifically stated that Flitwick is a dwarf? The way he’s written (that I recall) he could just be a mousy, small man. Maybe it is mentioned somewhere and I missed it.

    16. Man wait until Peter Dinklage finds out a little person that isn’t him got a job. Warwick better watch his back
