You say that like I'm some Potterhead or whatever they call themselves. I haven't even watched The Last of Us yet and I will loudly defend the second game to the grave. Guess I have a couple years to watch TLOU before doing so becomes transphobic.
so you don't even like harry potter, but you still decided that hogwarts legacy was more important than your solidarity with trans people

Imagine thinking trans people are a single hivemind. Pretty offensive if you ask me

Hollywood already loves messing up every adaptation because everyone thinks they're take on the source material is best but then it ends up being crap. I'm told inner dialogue doesn't work well to turn into tv format but there's a lot of important stuff in the books that is conveyed this way.

But I also didn't say it had to be word for word I said the 7th book was entirely too long as the search for horcruxes took entirely way too long

3 requests for this show, if it happens:

1) Don't make the magic look overly dramatic and flashy

2) PEEVES

3) Actually, I dunno, just a thought, include major scenes, and don't totally fuck up every character's personality

okay sure, i suppose it could work better as a TV show rather than a series of movies.

but they could create other stories with other characters from the same universe rather than recycling the same material...

So what are the chances this is being made because the three main characters' actors spoke out against Rowling being transphobic and now she wants to have the public associate the characters with the actors she picks out for the trio?

Ron is Black.
Hermione is trans.
Harry is bisexual.

The writing is a step down from your average Harry Potter cash-in despite bearing the official brand name. HBO will put up a flame shield claiming that everyone is bigoted rather than actually putting effort into the show.

Edit: Oh, wait. You said HBO - not Netflix. My bad.

lol, this is certainly a post.

wait until he finds out that they change peoples race and have LGBTQ characters as well

not 100% sure what that person was talking about, but there was a Harry Potter stage production in which a black woman was cast as Hermione. Rowling basically said that she didn't have an issue with it.

there's a fair bit of stuff in the books that is... significantly more troubling if Hermione is black though. like Malfoy calling her a mudblood.

Well then I better watch TLOU before this HP show comes out so I cancel my sub and boycott all Warner Bros properties.

Heck, the show might not even come out if the GOP wins in 2024. They'll have no need for a loudmouth feminist once they establish their Christofascist theocracy. LGBTQ people will all be suffering or dead, so they'll abandon Rowling and ban the show for being Satanic.

Actually, she claimed she never said Hermione was white. Then people pointed out she described her as "white-faced with fear" or something like that in one of the books and she (as we now know is a thing for her) doubled down.

Started some memes about how her claiming Harry Potter characters had different attributes than were said in the books. Like in this classic video

Just like with Hogwarts Legacy. Except instead of just gamers this boycott will hinge on general audiences. Im sure the result will be different for this boycott and be positive towards the mental health of the trans community.

The very real possibility of complete societal collapse and widespread suffering within the next few years.

Also, it being transphobic to give Warner Bros money once this show comes out. Honestly, it's probably transphobic now. You can't call yourself a trans ally if you care more about Batman than denying JK Rowling money.
