Not too long ago we had this post about Daniel pushing Trans shit and now we have this news, it's like cosmic karma
We all have mixed opinions on J K Rowling, from 'she's a bitch but I like she's pissing off the people I despise' to 'she's evil incarnate funding a male genocide' but this is really funny as pointed out in this recent Clownfish video
Essentially, the Twitter 'boycott' (cough harassment campaign) might have caused this to be green lit as WB made BANK with that game thanks to the amount of attention it got (and I'm sure some vtuber fans bought it to piss off the twitter freaks) so they may focus on Harry Potter more and with Rowling as Executive producer, there ain't going to be any trans shit. This also takes away the star power of all the film stars now turning on Rowling despite her work being the reason they have any fame.
I got no bone in this fight but I'd love it to be successful with a white Hermoine just because it'll be 10 years of rubbing it in these narcissistic freaks faces.
How many trans holocausts can there be?
I mean I would keep going till they stop messing with kids. I mean we can stop the 'genocide' today if they stop with that.
Is a 59% clean up operation really a holocaust? Feels more like spring cleaning or correcting the issues caused a rounding error.
There is a trans holocaust every time a tranny looks in the mirror.
This sounds like a challenge to me.
"Avada Kedavra trannies," said Harry.
Well at least we know Hagrid will be white, can’t have a large oafish black man in modern media.
Shame Robbie Coltrane died last year as those are BIG shoes to fill, no pun intended.
Same with Micheal Gambon's Dumbledoor or Alan Rickman's Snape but the main 3, meh replace their asses
I was shocked to learn I'm taller than Coltraine. I mean when he was alive. I'm way taller now, but that's a false comparison.
I have no faith that it will be a loyal adaptation. Fully convinced there'll be plenty of tokens and rewrites for a MODERN AUDIENCE.
Because Rowling's an exec producer, they st least can't add any trans shit and it's MEANT to be a 1:1 with the books (why it'll be 10 years)
In practice, I think we may have some race bending at most, the Twitter freaks might have soured her on LGB as their support for Ts pissed her off.
It'll be as bad as any reboot.
And so begins a trans decade of vengeance so intense it will crash Discord from all the gay ops they'll run.
No trans stuff but it's going to be ultra feminist. Watch Hermione by the main character and Harry is an afterthought. Ron will no longer be a ginger but will be black.
I have a feeling they're going to resist the urge this time.
Poor(ish), large family, kinda dumb.
Hermione will be black. Ron can stay or be Asian.
True... Black Hermione makes a lot more sense actually.
So it's just going to be same old Harry Potter?
One thing that's going to amuse me is that everyone in this project will have to suck Rowling's overlong clit. They can't go around saying how evil, far-right, and transphobic she is on Twitter or in interviews. They have to smile and say nothing but glowing words about her at every opportunity. Heck, if HBO and/or Rowling are smart, they'll put heavy restrictions on what their cast and crew can and can't say to the press and on social media. Because if there's one thing I've learned, it's that actors on TV and streaming shows are a lot more expendable than Hollywood actors, and more likely to be replaced between seasons with little fanfare. Better yet, this is going to put all of them into the crosshairs of the left, who will take ever opportunity to insult and harass these people for daring to ever get involved with this project. And no amount of rewriting it to better appeal to the "modern audience" is ever going to change that.
That's basically where my joy ends. The fact that Rowling is basically redoing an old glory proves to me that she's a hack who lacks the imagination to make anything new. She can't even fucking expand on this (poorly thought-out) world, as shown by the Fantastic Beasts films. And I'm irritated that Harry Potter isn't fucking going away. It's going to keep on getting shoved in our faces for decades without end. Though I guess it's better that it gets destroyed for the sake of the "modern audience" than something I like.
That's actually interesting, just a thought experiment but because of what happened with Hogwarts Legacy, do you think HBO/WB/Rowling will double down on the source material (white Hermoine and no one gives a shit about Dumbledoor's sex life) because they know there's no point to appealing to the Twitter freaks so it actually becomes less left wing?
If they're smart, that's exactly what they'll do. They'll just say "Fuck these people!" and make this a 1:1 adaptation with none of this current year crap. No race swaps, no trannies, and no allusion to butt-fucking. Sadly, I have my doubts they'll actually do this. They gotta get those ESG Funbux somehow, unless Rowling's name alone is considered poison by Blackrock now.
You're really grading her on a curve there. If someone turns lead into gold I'm not going to call them a has-been for not doing it twice.
And to be fair, redoing the 8 films that average what, an hour and fourty-five minutes a piece, into possible an 8-12 episode season for each book where each episode is 45minutes to an hour maybe, that could put this upwards of 8 hours or even longer per season, which is far more time to actually go over the books and not have to cut nearly as much to make a feature length film.
As much shit as I give for the franchise splitting the last book into two films which was the cause of every other fucking film series doing it, honestly it needed it, I couldn't imagine them trying to get all that they did into just one film even if they made it two and a half hours long, it just wouldn't have worked with how much would need to be done.
If GRRM tried to do the reverse where after Game of Thrones ended he announced he was going to make each book a single film, there's just no fucking way that it would be anyway coherent with how much would have to be cut and rushed just to fit the run time
Because give Chris Columbus credit he did a pretty great job adapting the first three books into the films and kept as much relevant information with the time he had and it's just not easy when you have so many child actors simply due to the restrictions you'd have when shooting.
Sure the films had the benefit of Richard Harris, Maggie Smith and Alan Rickman who were phenomenal actors who really helped carry the story.
It would be interesting to see more age appropriate casting because Gary Oldman and every other character who played the Potters and friends, were all cast as older because JKR really wanted Alan Rickman to play Snape, which since they were all supposed to be the same age and Alan was already like 55 years old at that time, when rough estimate would have Snape and the others maybe mid 30's, if that, by the time Harry first gets to Hogwarts. So they were all cast older actors to fit the roles.
Because James and Lily went on to fight Voldemort right after graduating, then we got that prophecy of Harry being born, then he was like a year and a few months old when Voldemort attacked, the Potters would really only have been maybe 20 or 21 years old when they died, so they should look really young actually rather than the middle aged looks whenever we see them.
So it would be nice to get a cast that fits a bit better because she can't recast Alan Rickman into the role of Snape again.
Ooof, but Rickman will be such a difficult act to follow.
It'd almost be better if they just animated the thing.

Trannies are on suicide watch.
So nothing changed.
Well Hermoine is white but I know there was a dumb race swap in a play. I didn’t see all the movies but I’ve read all the books. Pre 2014 I think you could do a good show about Harry and Ginny as a married couple with their kids at school and further adventures. I don’t know what they will do but HBO (a company that used to deliver great content) is obsessed with diversity and the usual Hollywood stuff
HBO is mixed as they can produce shit, have good shows that go to shit in the end and then they make godtier stuff like Chernobyl.
If this goes into the latter, it'll be a 1:1 of the books so become a western version of FMA Brotherhood. The twitter freaks already on a warpath and Harry Potter being the few successful franchises WB has left might encourage that than pandering.
Weird they would re adapt the books again instead of moving forward but you are right, it could be good. I still haven’t seen Chernobyl but I hear it’s really good. There used to be a time years back where I watched any new HBO show simply because it was HBO
It was a fantastic pallette cleanser after I saw the finale of GOT (on the high seas) as it came out around the same time.
According to the book guys, there's a LOT that the films leave out so having as a 10 year series should work out. It's now a question of if WB focus purely on the money or want to waste their time pandering to Twitter.
Absolutely. I’m a bit of a book purist so I can remember nit picking. You are right, if they focus on actually adapting the books then it could be great. Then maybe we can get someone to adapt Wheel of Time
I mean, even ignoring "wokeness", the current adaptions of the films are pretty well done and accurate to the books (especially the first two films). This show is going to be beat by beat the same, except for probably more added stuff from the books, just with different actors and worse special FX since its a TV show. I feel like when it comes out its going to immediately get compared to the films, and not in a good way.
"And it was as if 10 thousand reddit disneys cried out and were suddenly silenced all at once by some great evil."
Well, at least they might be able to deal with shit that the movies left out, but were actually important in the books.
Like the whole House Elf/SPEW thing with Hermione. You can always tell who has only seen the movies, when they think that Dobby is some kind of hero for being a "Free Elf", and that the other elves are slaves. That's exactly what Hermione thought, and she was dead wrong. Though it wasn't made clear if she actually learned anything or not, her arc seemed to just .. end with the happenings of the seventh book.
The Weaselys didn't have a house elf for at least two reasons - they're poor, and elves seem to only like to work for the well-to-do, despite being against being paid, and secondly, Mrs Weasley takes too much pride in running her house herself to even want one. Snape doesn't have one because he's a fucking recluse (and he made Wormtail act like a slave because he flat out despised him.)
All they want in payment is a bit of respect (as displayed by Harry breaking the ice with Kreacher by giving him Regulus' amulet).
But I bet they'll change that into elves being pathethic little slaves bulllied by the big bad wizards.
Oh, another reboot where we have characters mutilating their dicks and getting reverse Vitiligo, what's new?
They can hire someone well known and put up with that person's bullshit, or they can hire one of many grateful to have the role who will do it for a fraction of the cost.
Oh great, more anti-male propaganda from Just Kidding Rowling.
I put her in the 'bitch but she upsets the people that maim kids', don't understand the ones that try to claim she's a darling now.
I can put people into 'annoying but useful' from right to left if they some way cause distress or even hurt my enemies. So long as they don't cross my red lines (pedophilia, torture, murder, rape etc)
I don't think many of us share the "general sentiment," just a few users on here. Rowling is a typical man-hating feminist. She hates trannies because they're men, and for no reason more noble than that.
I wouldn't call her a darling of the right, more like a darling of the popcorn.
She's way worse than that. Open supporter of amnesty for female murderers, counts the leader of said movement as a close friend.
