Warner Bros. in talks about a ‘Harry Potter’ TV series for HBO Max
TechCrunchAPR 2023
Warner Bros. Discovery should rethink the political implications of deciding to work with Rowling before going forward with this project. Any collaboration with her on the new series is a slap in the face to the trans community, as Rowling has been vocal about her anti-trans agenda. Ten years of a series with her as an executive producer will provide a platform for Rowling to continue to air her hateful views.
It’s possible to separate the person from the politics, and Warner Bros. Discovery will focus on what’s going to be on the screen – an incredibly affirmative, positive story told over the course of a decade. Rowling’s views on an unrelated topic don’t make her any less of a valuable consultant for the upcoming series.
