Actually, thinking on it, I think grcious JKR has given these lucky clowns a Golden Bridge.

@ArabellaScott

Wow to that reversal from Radcliffe. That's really quite a turn-around.
From what I have read it seems like Watson was always the most vocal TRA out of the three child stars so it'll be interesting how she deals with the backlash against her..
Rhannion · 17/11/2021 23:27

We have the same with the fucking Potter tour guides up here. Bloody hypocrites bitching about JKR on their website but still filling their pockets with money from Potter fans.
I walked up to one of the guides recently to check which company he was with “ Are you coming to join us? “he asked. “ Not bloody likely after the way you have written about JKR “ I replied! Bloody beardy arse.

I think she may well have done. She’s a classy human being.

I hope they have the good grace to take it. They may as well, there is no pleasing the rabid element of the activists, so you may as well align with the ones who won’t call for your head on a platter every other day Grin

Those tour guides do my head in, Rhannion. They’re bloody lucky she doesn’t sue them into a hole in the ground for profiting off her work, and they still do it, even while denouncing her!

SirSamuelVimes · 18/11/2021 07:27

JKR is so much of a better person than me that it's embarrassing. I would be a vindictive she-demon in her place.

TheCountessofFitzdotterel · 18/11/2021 07:28

I am so happy to read the nice stuff about her Daniel Radcliffe has said and I think it deserves quoting for as much exposure as possible.

an “immensely intelligent, funny, kind human being…Jo really cares about the people that she writes for. She cares about the people she writes and the people she writes for.”

LangificusClegasaurous · 18/11/2021 07:30

Doesn’t seem like much of a turnaround from Radcliffe to me, he’s still ignoring the vilification she’s being put through. To me it looks like he’s just trying to come off as a nice guy.

Warmduscher · 18/11/2021 07:50

an “immensely intelligent, funny, kind human being…Jo really cares about the people that she writes for. She cares about the people she writes and the people she writes for.”

Did you cut and paste that wrong or did he actually say that? Just that it doesn’t make sense and he repeats himself.

Grumpyosaurus · 18/11/2021 08:09

I've found a sticky, furry old mint imperial behind the sofa. Will that do?

KohlaParasaurus · 18/11/2021 08:19

Oh, dear. Are some poor little luvvies finding out for themselves that oppressors have nothing but contempt for aspiring collaborators? Bless.

No that’s what he said. Yes he does repeat himself but it makes sense to me- the ‘people she writes’ means her characters.

Watson's Insta:

'Harry Potter was my home, my family, my world and Hermione (still is) my favorite fictional character of all time. I think a journalist once said it was irritating how many times during an interview I mentioned how lucky I was and started counting… BUT I DAMN WELL KNEW!!! And still know.

I am proud not just of what we as group contributed as actors to the franchise but also as the children that became young adults that walked that path. I look at my fellow cast members now and I am just so proud of who everyone has become as people. I am proud we were kind to each other that we supported one another and that we held up something meaningful.

Thank you to the fans that have continued to show their support well after the last chapter closed. The magic of the world wouldn’t exist without you. Thank you for fighting to make it such an inclusive and loving place.'

Hmm

Watson turned her Insta over to a feminist artist/s. This post was interesting:

'We will not cancel us. We hurt people. Of course we did, we are human.

We were traumatized/socialized away from interdependence. We learned to hide everything real, everything messy, weak, complex. We learned that fake shit hurts, but it’s acceptable. Our swallowed pain made us a piece of shit, or depressed, or untrustworthy, or paranoid, or impotent, or an egomaniac. We moved with the herd, or became isolationist and contrary, perhaps even controversial. We disappointed each other, at the level of race, gender, species…in a vast way we longed for more from us.

But we will not cancel us. Canceling is punishment, and punishment doesn’t stop the cycle of harm, not long term. Cancellation may even be counter-abolitionist…instead of prison bars we place each other in an overflowing box of untouchables – often with no trial – and strip us of past and future, of the complexity of being gifted and troubled, brilliant and broken. We will set down this punitive measure and pick each other up, leaving no traumatized person behind.

We will not cancel us. But we must earn our place on this earth."

This.

Whatwouldscullydo · 18/11/2021 10:09

Guess they finally found out the hard way.

That nothing will ever be enough. Do decide on and draw whatever line is appropriate to you and stick to it preferably one befire you become a laughing stock having to deny reality and end up like LN , JS and DB etc.

Always best to draw a boundary or you will forever be trying to keep up.

Mind u I guess they can afford to do what they like with plenty of money etc.

EdgeOfTheSky · 18/11/2021 10:10

So purity spirals eventually tighten into a noose.

Oh dear.

EdgeOfTheSky · 18/11/2021 10:13

Are they all boycotting ITV for the more or less 24/7 screening if the films last week?

AryaStarkWolf · 18/11/2021 14:20

bahahahahahaha good.

"Dark & difficult times lie ahead.
We face the choice between doing what is right, and what is easy.
But know ..that you have friends here, and you are not alone."

Dumbledore, at the end of HP & The Goblet of Fire when Voldemort had returned.

I thought it a most apt quote when I watched the film again the other week that I copied it down.

Re: the actor ingrates, maybe they should admit ambition & wealth matters more to them than courage or loyalty. They might ask to be rehoused in Slytherin, but of course Slytherin would refuse to admit them for being 'two-faced little weasels' and 'a bit much even for us'.

MichelleScarn · 18/11/2021 16:38

Re both of your posts @ArabellaScott gahhh! What a scrote-y little ingrate EW is... she really sees herself as some form of wise and bountiful diety, speaking with such gracious wisdom to the little people! Angry

ArabellaScott · 18/11/2021 16:45

Well, to be fair those were not written by EW, just 'hosted' by her on her Instagram. But I thought it was interesting ..

My DS writes and directs independent films, having just finished a new 20-minute drama just recently.

He's in touch with all the modern tech - editing software, top-end Mac, RAID array etc.

He reckons within five years it will be possible to digitally replace Watson, Grint and Radcliffe with either other actors or digitally created ones, in every scene in each of the seven HP movies, plus dub new audio. I suspect the other quislings could be replaced as well.

So they'd just be the 'initial' actors, replaced by others for approved recuts of the films, likely necessary when the entire TRA cause dissolves into accounts from a generation of detransitionersit brutal and medical abuse claims. I imagine Warner and JKR could happily pursue such a strategy, as the original three became horrifically toxic in the eyes-of-the-public.

A bit brutal, I know. Some Warner exec though in the near future might propose it. I'd certainly be willing to buy a box-set of all the HP movies without the quislings. Having associated themselves with those who sent death and rape messages to JKR, sent child pornography to her social media accounts, attempted to cancel her in every respect...it would be a fitting response.
