Right I saw the first film but never read the books, is this another case of the books being great but on screen adaptations being shit and a tool of pushing ideology?
Plus the author praised race swaps and then got called out by readers I think
So the author more woke than J K Rowling as she accepted the race swap of one of her characters but still very anti trans.
Haven’t read the book but I know one main character is a white blond girl and the author praised the race swap and gushed over how great the actress was and readers asked why didn’t you make her black in the books then
JK "I never said Hermione was White in the books ( oops, I actually did ) Rowling.
JK "I personally hand-picked the Harry/Ron/Hermione actors myself" Rowling
Nintendo & The Pokemon company did it right with their leaked character rosters; specifically label the race so you can skip this argument with activists.
It’s another lazy Harry Potter rip-off, but with Greek gods instead of wizards. Boring as fuck. I quit halfway through the first one.
Isn’t this virtually every modern western adaptation?
