I was rewatching HP series movies with a friend who hadn’t read the books or even looked up anything HP related and he enjoyed the movies but had doubts that I kept clearing in some parts. Which made me realize as good as the movies were, more details was needed. So I am open for the show unless they ruin it with forced wokeness.

as someone who absolutely adores HP novels..I am open to the TV series..I’m just worried with so much lobbying going on by some groups that they are out there to just malign everything HP and JK Rowling related. Honestly fed up of the way things are going in the socio cultural diaspora in the west..

At first I didn’t know what was going on and based on some tweets I thought JKR was a phobe but the more I read about both POVs and JKR’s full support for LGB, I can see there’s much more to it. Anyone who doesn’t bend over backward to accept someone else’s pov is branded a ______phobe.

This isn’t the place to have a long discussion about this but I saw this documentary on twitter (quite popular, released recently) which asks some very interesting questions and shows some very terrifying things. (*watched without letting my left/right leaning political ideology interfering)

I believe Harry Potter would work better as a tv series than feature films . Except POA and the deathly hallows , most movies didn’t do justice to the books IMO

yes I agree we can’t discuss this in detail here..but this cancel culture is becoming ridiculous ..and JK is a legend and like you said..she speaks her mind,isn’t afraid of the trolls so they have just gone all out against her.. 😳..HP novels were sacred for us growing up 😆 I can never forget the euphoria and excitement when Deathly hallows was about to come out..❤️ even though it’s my least favourite book..because most events happen outside Hogwarts..😆

No please..they will ruin it with in ur face woke culture.

Being aware n inclusive should be a way of life..and current trend isn't that.

Loved the initial seasons of Lucifer but later ones were unbearable for this same reason..couldn't even complete them

don’t worry about that..JK Rowling has been classified as anti woke, transphobe, racist, cruel wicked woman😆 so in your face woke culture ain’t happening with HP..first they were after her to say it explicitly that Dumbledore was gay..now ofcourse there is a new controversy..man when we grew up..it was a simpler nicer and more innocent time..but liberals are absolutely ok with trans people twerking in schools in front of little kids..🤪 West is on a mission to destroy itself..we have a developed society so what to do now..ohh let’s change our gender..opt for complicated surgeries and cause hormonal imbalances and long term side effects for ourselves..resulting in physical and mental agony and a productivity deficient workforce. 🤪Time for Indians to conquer the world 😆
