HBO Says ‘Harry Potter’ Series Will ‘Benefit’ From J.K. Rowling’s Involvement: She ‘Has the Right to Express Her Personal Views’ (variety.com)

HBO defended J.K. Rowling's involvement in its upcoming "Harry Potter" TV series, emphasizing her creative contributions and her right to express personal views despite controversy over her anti-trans statements.

Rowling's outspoken gender-related beliefs have deeply divided the Harry Potter fanbase, with some advocating for boycotts and others finding ways to reconcile their love for the franchise while opposing her views.

Despite fan backlash and fractured enthusiasm, the "Wizarding World" franchise remains commercially strong, and Rowling appears unfazed by criticism, continuing to focus on her advocacy and involvement in the new series.

Well that's entirely put me off.

Not because of her bigoted rants. I would imagine that isn't going to show up in the show all that much -- I can't imagine how she can work it in without making it overly obvious.

No -- my problem is that Secrets of Dumbledore was crap. I mean REALLY bad. So if she brings her "special touch" to the series the way she did with that then god its going to be appalling.
