And part of me loves that they finally cast a Black actor but the rational part realizes that they cast a Black actor for the evil role. JFC I hate this series now.
This whole endeavour is such a pointless money grab. Why make a TV series if you already have a movie series that’s barely 15 years old? Wouldn’t it be better if this series told a whole new story that expands the universe? How about the OG character’s kids going to Hogwarts?
There are hundred of YA books that would make a good series. Why keep redoing the same narrow list. Loyd Alexander could use a series. Or based on stories Ellen Datlow has edited. A new writer perhaps? I’m a Shakespeare fan so I’ll watch every version of the plays but Harry Potter isn’t that.
Everyone needs to know that she's not only anti-trans. She has openly praised and financially supported neo-Nazi organizations and other far right ideologues. She's extremely racist and hates ALL LGBTQ+ people.
6 years of readily available information? Unfortunately, this evening, I do not have time. I recommend checking https://erininthemorning.com and https://pinknews.com as starter references plus her own unending tweets and public comments. I'm sorry, I genuinely don't have any time this evening.
It's so sad John Lithgow is in this. I respected him so much as an actor. Between transphobia, zionism and SA allegations, Im running out of artists to enjoy.

Plus, JK's horrific transphobia poisons everything about a beloved story where love is supposed to win over fear, hate, and pureblood supremacy.
