Metro newspaper article

[Neverplayleapfrogwithmrpipes]

This has really angered me this evening. They have a clickbait headline which makes it look as though John Lithgow has made the quote.

The article itself is awful too!

Her outrage is hilarious. It gave me a good laugh. The Metro is shite so I think they do print this type of thing for clickbait. I mean look at the comments under the article.

I can guarantee you she will watch the series when it comes out. It's going to be epic 😘

The Metro is totally captured. Comments are gratifyingly pro JKR

Yes, every single one on the article itself (as opposed to Facebook page) is in support of JKR. I wonder when Metro will realise they’ve backed the wrong horse.

I wonder if he’s been turned down for a role?

He has the outrage of a mediocre man who hasn’t been invited to join the masons.

Its not him that made the comments! He is going to be in the film

This is who wrote the article
John Lithgow is part of the production

Danni needs to spend less time on Tik Tok it’s rotting her brain!

"by comparison, ginger people make up about 10%"

Only in Harry Potter films

I bet Danni still.plays with her Lego Hogwarts and Nimbus 2000

If this article is offensive clickbait, why share it? I'm not going to give them what they want.

I see that the most popular react is the laugh emoji which at 2.8k is more than double the number of likes.
The tide has turned on this stuff. People are less afraid to laugh at it. And good on John Lithgow. He'll have known he'd attract criticism by joining the cast and he did it anyway.

I believe that it sets a worrying tone for future announcements for a show that simply shouldn’t exist
Curious take. Personally, I don't think that sterilising children should exist. I'm less concerned about TV shows about boy wizards.

Thoughts and prayers for John Lithgow, I don’t know how he’s ever going to deal with this level of disapproval from some journalist he’s never heard of.

The level of entitlement and narcissism displayed by the followers of this ideology never ceases to amaze, it’s hilarious 🤣

I saw that yesterday. For half a second I was tempted to sign up to add to comments "no one cares what you think Danni"

These folks really have overinflated egos when it comes to how much they think their opinions’ matter to anyone else. One of the Metro commenters used the expression “journalist on a Youth Opportunities Scheme”. It made me laugh.

I'm sure everyone involved is a-twemblin' at the thought of Danni's disapproval.

If you don't want to give the Metro clicks (and who does?), I took one for the team: https://archive.ph/yuD0W

I'm sure Lithgow will be brilliant but is he a bit old? The HP films already had to appoint a replacement Albus part-way through and this series is easily going to take another 10 years start to finish.

Any bets on casting for the other adult roles? So many good actors appeared in the films, it will be tricky to find big names who haven't already been someone else.

More than 30 comments at the end - all disagreeing with her.

Danni is kinda self righteous.

As is often the case, Sgt Major Williams has it in a nutshell.
^^

Clownfish TV breaks it down with pithy commentary.

I'd completely forgotten that John Lithgow got an Oscar nomination for playing a trans character in The World According to Garp way back in 1982. I've seen it, but it's a pretty depressing film, so I must have erased it from my memory.

John Lithgow would make a good Dumbledore.

Faux outrage on Danni's part is tiresome. I bet you that she'll be watching the show, like all the other "betrayed" fans, justifying it to themselves somehow, but hating themselves for it.

She can cite '"for work purposes" and no doubt get another article out of it!
