Fuck JK Rowling
Very curious what era they're looking to adapt, and I hope to hell they excise Rowling creatively & financially from this franchise.
Erm... The Universal Theme Park is sorta good? I guess?
Sorta really hard to get excited by any Rowling related thing now to be honest.
I mean why they didnt already do this in the first place is mindboggling. Could have launched the service with a HP show but of course it's WB/ATT so stupidity is to be expected.
Anwway, looking forward to it. :)

I'd rather have new stories. Maybe even new genres in that universe. Imagine, Ted Lasso but with magic.
Yeah, why would someone try to make money with a show based on the best selling book of all time?
Uh oh. My wife is a huge HP fan. Hope this doesn't get made. I don't want to subscribe to HBO Max.
There is no possible way to excise her financially from it. She has maintained ownership of it.
That would be really cool. Especially since we have the game which takes place way before. Throw a new set of students in a different era. Flesh it all out. Did you enjoy Ted Lasso? It was really good! Everyone should watch Ted Lasso.
It seems like there's a ton of high end stuff 'in the works' for HBO Max. Batman, Green Lantern, a Dune spin-off, and now this but none of it is actually getting made. Disney, Netflix, and Amazon all have competing projects that are filming right now, or are being edited. By the time this stuff comes out, if it ever does, how much will people even care?
Funny thing is I've been thinking this is the right move for years, the movies are too action-packed and I'd have loved to see the school life explored in a less rushed fashion. But even if other writers will write this I have to admit I've lost any attachment to the property with JK acting an idiot.
Pretty much my thoughts. Like everything they've done after the original series has been... Not great.
Why would I expect this to be any different?
They should have greenlit this years ago and launched HBO Max with it like Disney launched D+ with Mando. Idiots.
Also, fuck JK Rowling.

This would have had me hyped beyond belief a couple years ago.... I'm honestly shocked at how quickly my interest in HP has died.
It was my favourite series growing up, but it just feels so disingenuous now. The books were about love overcoming hate ffs... sure does ring hollow now
