They seem ultra salty about the original actors being good persons.

"Traitorous little numpties" they are calling them.

Like a parent is going to turn down a chance at their actor child becoming wildly famous as the new Harry Potter over Rowling being involved.

I know it's problematic to say here, but Harry Potter is still an enormous success and many kids would pay to be the next face of the franchise.

I find it unsettling how much people are willing to erase the history they don't like, whether it be cancel culture trying to remove the contributions of people they don't like, or retroactively trying to apply current standards to the past.

Tbf, she is/was pretty "woke" on a lot of things, even claiming she never technically said Hermione was white so a black girl could play her.

But then trans issues came into the spotlight and she really didn't like them but apparently that's enough for them.

It's basically a cultural "one drop test." She doesn't align on one issue so she's out of the club.

Honestly she is such a large part of people's childhoods and a fairly inspirational figure that I feel like if it were a simple thing like "I don't get trans issues personally " I feel like a lot of people would be more willing to overlook it

But she just doesn't stop talking about it and is so vitriolic about it

It's just the "one little thing" of promoting anti-trans rhetoric, and the one little thing of helping fund an anti-trans shelter, and the one little thing of campaigning against the Gender Recognition Act.

If someone is liberal in all aspects of society/culture except one, are they liberal?

The label matters significantly less than the impact of their actions, no? Being a "liberal" is not a get out of judgment free card.

If they're liberal except the part where they actively promote the genocide of a minority and accuse all members of that group of being sexual predators undeserving of a presumption of innocence? Uhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I think that's a pointless question to ask.

If someone is fighting against human rights, you oppose them. Labels be damned.

No I don't honestly think that's the case. If we're talking about these tweets, I think the perspective is that the HBO series will be so successful that it will eclipse the films and the original actors will be forgotten in the annals of history.

You don't need to pay a subscription to see the movies though.

She's reportedly involved with the show... in some way. Probably similar to the "consultant" role she had in the movies, where she had a couple things to say but was mostly hands off.

They probably won't let her really shoehorn in any of her dumb takes in the show though. HBO isn't particularly known for their conservative slant.

Every one of those seems to imply that the big 3 from the movies literally have no career outside of making money off HP residuals, like they're problem children disowning their mom despite being penniless without her. It's stupid.

People have become personal fans of an author because she decides to publicly be a shithead. I wouldn't be surprised if they think fantasy and magic is "nerd shit". A person's whole personality being "spite" is so fucking pathetic, the ultimate reactionary.
