It's not just to have a "do over" that doesn't involve the original cast, it's to cut them out of the royalties. Literally the entire point is to make sure all the money made by Harry Potter goes to transphobes or people willing to work with transphobes.
If you watch it, you are supporting bigotry, hate, and oppression. That's just objective reality. All for a story that you probably have already seen in movie and book form.
#the last point is especially true since the old cast receives royalties for anything with their likeness on it#meaning the original trio still gets money for every mug with their 14 year old faces on it#if they stop making those and replace them with the new cast which they will the old cast gets cut off completely#which is again exactly what rowling wants because she cannot stand those 'ungrateful brats' as she would likely put it#and as she has last say in anything that gets made in harry potter paraphernalia this might also explain the decrease in faces on products

I hate Rowling so much.
There's people in the notes saying they're going to watch it anyway, and you know, I understand how you can start feeling so burned out and numb from the world that it may feel too hard to avoid things that will give you a little immediate relief in some way in order to avoid the long-term impact of funding these things.
But. If you can't bring yourself to avoid watching it, you better at least fucking pirate it.
FYI, Rowling posted this today. She is actively queerphobic, do not support this project in anyway.
I know that this was a foundational thing for so many people. I was one of them. Without Harry Potter, I probably wouldn't be the person I am today.
If you're thinking about watching this anyway because you feel all that nostalgia: It's time to grow up. It's time to move on.
Don't even hate watch it. Make it fail.
It is the easiest thing ever to simply not do anything.

Spain has an excellent series about a magic school right now, above you can see how to help it get out in English. Malin Falch who's also above is planning one. There's also ヒビキのマホウ (Hibiki's Magic, needs a new English publisher) andとんがり帽子のアトリエ (Witch Hat Atelier) from Japan. There's plenty of magic school series from around the world that actually deserve your attention. If you need such a series in your life, are there plenty to choose from. Maybe you won't find the exact kind of characters in them, but maybe you can find them in another story. Need a chosen one with a distinguished trait, a bookworm, and someone who is smarter than others think? Go for Phenomena. A sadistic teacher and a charismatic bully? Go to Edelmot. Etc. Don't cling to just one series!
