Not really sure who this is even for. Most people who were excited for Harry Potter shit the first time round are in their 40s. The author has fallen into a rabbit-hole of right-wing nut-baggery. The movies did a decent job and weren't really that long ago. It's not like some 70s movie where everyone is clearly flying on strings.

It's the kind of thing I expect two seasons to be shat out on Netflix or Amazon or one of the ad funded services, and then everyone forgets about it and agrees not to do it again.

I just don't know what HBO are doing in this. I normally associate them with high quality shows and a streaming service that isn't available in the UK. It just doesn't feel like something they'd be doing. Maybe they've just fallen that far.

There are a LOT of 'central' and 'right-wingers' that love her stuff all the more for her horrible worldview, and they'll spend on it.

To be fair, there are a fuck of a lot of people who despise the current government but are conflicted about the fact that they really love the HP fantasy world.

We have 1/4 of a theme park over here that is absolutely surreal with HP stuff.

Yeah, I really don't understand who the target demographic is for this? It's not like they are doing anything interesting with the universe, it's just the same story again.

They could have done anything with this but they are doing this. Do a different time period or something.

It may blow some minds, you can sidestep the moral dilemma by not signing any subscription service.

Do anything but the right thing just to not be told what to do

I'm so glad I have Americans around to lecture me daily on the morality of pop culture whilst they simultaneously accelerate extinction-level events and start new wars that fuck the cost of living for the rest of us.

I'm glad there's red Herring fallacies so that people on the internet can retort without rationality.

You are trying to start fights where there is no reason to start one. They are literally agreeing with you here, and still you are being an asshole about it.

You think those that are lecturing about the idiot raging against trans and others are the same ones that are running the country into the ground?

you think this view is unique to the US?

something tells me there are intelligent and decent people in every country. and it is a worldwide franchise, hardly unique to the US.

Joanne Rowling.

Don't use her preferred name. The cunt wants to take that right away from others, don't give her any exemption.

[–] brown567@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 hours ago
