I have a feeling it's nepotistic hiring than active subversion given:
This studio are run by idiots that screwed up milking DC so need Harry Potter to remain solvent but forgot to blacklist the people that led them to this mess.
J.K. Rowling has an iron grip on her IP, she's done diversity and 'they're gay now' with characters but trans seems to be her redline thanks to 'cancellation attempts'
There's a third reason too, the main actors from the films have badmouthed her despite her work being the reason they are famous, the only ones I remember not doing that are the ones that have died, the guy who played Malfoy and I think Ron hasn't too so what better way to get back than have a series better and more detailed than the film so fans go to that first.
Be like pulling an FMA or FMA Brotherhood for Harry Potter.
Ron dipped on acting after his early jobs post Potter had no traction. He was a realtor last I heard.
Ah one of those 'I made my money and fame and now I'm going to dip at my height' kind of guys?
If so, I can actually respect that.
Pretty sure he bought an ice cream truck and did that for a while.
