The UK establishment is forever pissed she's untouchable thanks to her money and connections and is very vocally against trans stuff.

Which is why her work, though alright I've read better stories, books hell even some of the current manga I'm reading, will live on for generations because they can't make her bend.

It is hilarious to watch.

The main reason actors should be avoiding this new series, though, is a simple, moral one. Rowling, the creator of Harry Potter and an executive producer on the new show, has over the past few years devoted much of her time to sharing anti-transgender rhetoric on social media. She has become the de facto face of the anti-trans movement in Britain, and is, as a result, reviled by many trans people, queer people, and straight people with compassion for and awareness of the struggles facing the trans community.

It’s worth noting that it isn’t just some purely symbolic problem. As well as using her considerable public platform to proliferate anti-trans views, Rowling has donated large sums of money to organisations seeking to restrict trans rights through legislative change. This TV series will be making Rowling, already roughly a billionaire, richer, and to work on this project is to be complicit in it.

It is easier to make excuses for the younger cast members, the series promising as it does a huge amount of exposure, as well as what’s probably the biggest paycheck of their career. But it’s nonetheless a moral compromise, and, for many people outraged by Rowling, will tarnish their reputations going forward.

t’s almost certain that the new Harry Potter series will feature more diversity than the original, and will likely cast people of colour in some of the major previously white roles, as the stage show Harry Potter and the Cursed Child did when casting a Black actor as Hermione. But what this means, in practice, is that it will be actors of colour who are used as the face of the project, who will go out on press tours and are held to account for Rowling’s opinions.

It’s frankly rather ridiculous that a book series about the magical adventures of a boy wizard has become such a political minefield.

LOL, peak current year Well, last year really at this point.

Such shrieking over a non-issue, but these journo cretins never speak about the pisslamic rape gangs infesting the country.

And yet it will probably make hundreds of millions easily and they will continue to churn these articles out as they secretly watch it, while claiming something like they paid double the price of the movie to Tranny Lifeline so the charity pay cancels out the hate piece.

Check out the burning misogyny from Louis Chilton!

Remakes aren't good things because they'll stiff over fans of the originals?

HAHAHA!

Yeah, that's our view and unless you pay up your Nazi membership card in full you can't have it!

There's no ambulances left to chase Louis, why don't you go back to cottaging in public toilets and leave the world alone?

Some people are massive hypocrites but enough about kotakuinaction2.win...
