I remind you all to never support J. K. Rowling’s works. If you do, you actively fund the oppresion of trans people in the UK.
If you like the games or movies as I once did and want to experience them again, then simply buy them second hand or, better, pirate them.
I’ve never paid a cent to that cunt and never will. I’ve worn a tricorner that and plied the internet seas to find the booty.
For those too lazy to fact check, the role will be played by Lox Prat, a 14-year-old male actor. This meme is referring to fan fiction.
They just want to create romantic tension between Harry and Draco but they’re too cowardly to make it gay
Presumably because the queer community won’t watch it to avoid funding Rowlings anti-trans groups, and those willing to support such a creator will get mad if there’s anything even slightly gay
The real gay tension is between Dumbledore and Hagrid
I totally get that sometimes you want to reinterpret stuff, I don’t really get why you would want to do it with perhaps the most iconic movie series of all time, with actors who became synonymous with their characters…
I think I’m not the only one who looks at this like it’s fan fiction. In they very best case I will see it as very good fan fiction. Fingers crossed, but I feel sorry for the actors and actresses already. I think there is a very high chance this will go very badly for at least some of them (actually kind of did so already)
Ignoring the Rowling assholery, wasn’t the point of the show to be closer to the books?
Mind you, I’m fine with significant reframing of characters in that way, it just runs contrary to making a show that’s always going to be compared unfavorably to the movies, if they aren’t going to serve the book experience. Like, what’s the point? Hoping nostalgia will bring viewers that also happen to be fan fic fans and aren’t going to knee jerk whine about changing genders and races?
Even if I had been interested in retreading the same ground this soon, this seems really stupid.
retreading the same ground this soon
Nobody asked, but the first movie came out in 2001, which was 25 years ago. The time between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace was 16 years. Indiana Jones 4 was 19 years after The Last Crusade. Gladiator II was 24 years after Gladiator, and people were asking why bother after such a long time. “Oh, but the most recent one came out way later than 2001!” Yep. 2011. 15 years ago. It’s older than Gangnam Style.
I’m not that interested in this new Potter show, but let’s not pretend that the movies just came out a couple years ago. Time is just speeding by. You didn’t have back pain when you first saw quidditch on the big screen, but you do now.
Lmmfao.
I was a nurse’s assistant. I’ve had back pain since the mid nineties
Time is just speeding by. You didn’t have back pain when you first saw quidditch on the big screen, but you do now.
I’m not ready for this truth.
The difference is that those were sequels, whereas this is a remake. Would you want The Lord of the Rings remade? It’s been about the same amount of time. Maybe that’s a bad example though because they’re trying to milk that franchise too and fans are pretty meh on it.
But you could print more money. To platform more bigots.
The true female malfoy will always be Lauren Lopez from a Very Potter Musical. <3
