HBO are supporting Rowling. To the bewilderment and despair of Variety, and the author of some Harry Potter themed cookbook or something.

A delightful article in which the writer attempts to find a reverse gear on their ferret-pulled bandwagon.

Good on HBO anyway. I am very, very excited for the Harry Potter series, any estimates for when it will come out? I presume it’s years away, but I know they’ve started casting the children.

It is out in 2026 according to schedule. The publicity as you say is building up. There will be a lot more discussions like this in 2025.

Warner knows there are no actual downsides for supporting JKR now in terms of profit loss. The interesting point will be if the series coming out will trigger a bunch more people saying she was right in 2026. Especially as by then more evidence will be in on evils of all the child experimentation.
