It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.

If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.

#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.

“If you’re planning to watch that HBO Harry Potter series, I really hope you understand two things:

1.) She pushed this reboot is because the original cast have publicly supported the transgender community and she wants a ‘do-over’ that doesn’t involve them.

2.) Putting money into her pocket WILL directly harm transgender folks and specifically transgender kids. She uses her wealth to block bills that would protect trans youth. It’s different than just hate speech (which is bad enough.)”

At the end of the post is a screenshot of a tweet by J.K. Rowling (@ jk_rowling) where she responded to the question “What actor/actress instantly ruins a move for you?” with “Three guesses. Sorry, but that was irresistible. 🤣🤣🤣”
