I think Marauders stans should be happy tbh. Now that two of their face canons have been rude to JKR and we know they won't get cast in the tv show any time soon, you people can enjoy them guilt free, knowing you won't EVER be tempted (not even a little) to watch the show! You get to continue doing your little fujo Hogwarts-meets-the-Beatles fantasy, and we - the real fans - don't have to deal with the meltdowns that would inevitably ensue if Ben Barnes were to do a suspiciously terfy interview or whatever. Does that mean we get a whole new show to watch with our friends and family around Christmas, while you wallow in sad, self-imposed abstinence, like some sort of modern eunuch monk order? Why, yes, but again, think of all the money JKR would have made from a Marauders spin-off, on top of the new, already sure to be successful Potter adaptation! True, it's not exactly taking any money away from her, but if you think about it, it's forcing her to make money in a different way, and that's almost the same thing. Let's rejoice and be merry about this.

literally every hp fan for YEARS: the movies are SO inaccurate- half the story is missing, i wouldn't understand anything without reading the books, they cut out characters' screentime when they had bigger roles in the book, many characters are missing, ron was totally ruined, ginny was totally ruined, harry was totally ruined, hermione stole half of ron's lines, snape is not the way he is in the books at all, what's going on??!! it's impossible to fit the harry potter saga into just 8 movies!! they should make a tv show with all the details!!

half the fandom when a tv show adaption (ie. exactly what they asked for) is going to be released: OMG??? this is INSANE??? we don't need another adaptation???? we already have the originals, no one can replace the original cast!!! they're the best!! the original is the best!! jowling kowling rowling is only doing this to get back at the golden trio actors!! we DON'T need this!! the movies are perfect omg you never really loved the movies then if you're excited for this!! you're a fake fan!!!!!!!

lmfao okay you do you buckaroo

When I was 7 years old, I met a boy with a scar;

Life kept throwing horrible things at him, but he survived until, finally, magic found him.

When I was 8 years old, I met a house elf;

He was not scared to be punished and hurt repeatedly as long as he did the right thing.

When I was 9 years old, I met an innocent prisoner;

He was so loyal to his friends that the incarnation of sadness itself could not keep him locked up.

When I was 10 years old, I met a golden boy;

No matter how much people expected from him, it did not stop him from helping someone in need.

When I was 11 years old, I met a girl that had seen death;

No one took her seriously but there was serious strength in her positivity and loyalty.

When I was 12 years old, I met a retired potion professor;

He had information that could help save the world, but his regret and ego prevented him from doing the right thing.

When I was 13 years old, I met three brothers;

While two of them were taken over by power and grief, the other found peace in the acceptance of things ending.

When I was 24 years old, I met the real creator of my childhood inner world;

Instead of practicing love, acceptance, diversity, and every other value she taught me from her books she decided to fully invalidate the existence of a group of people who are simply trying to live their full life, genuinely and safely.

When I will be 30 years old, HBO will release the Harry Potter tv show.

JK Rowling will profit from this series, and this profit will finance the discrimination and hate of transgender people.

The Magical World of Harry Potter belongs to us, the adults that felt safe and grew within those stories.

Let us boycott the HBO series and show to JKR that we will not stand for hate, we will never let fear win.

Hey! Do you think there’s any chance they might not make Romione canon in the upcoming HBO series because of the popularity of other pairings and JKR’s somewhat recent statements concerning the ship?

fair warning this is gonna be a long post!

you know anon, i’m not gonna deny that the possibility of romione not being canon in the hbo series doesn’t keep me up at night HOWEVER COMMA-

I believe romione will be safe because i’m placing a lot, if not all, of my faith in the upcoming hbo series being repeatedly described as a "faithful" adaptation of the 7 novels. which we can deduce to mean romione friends to lovers slow burn endgame and all that good stuff (maybe i'll talk about the potential of book romione and the serial tv medium some other time)

and sure, it can all be marketing/pandering/etc. but i find it so hard to feel cynical about hbo because i love LOVE their shows and i'm of the belief that they know how to tell a good ass story (and romione happens to be a good ass romance subplot). i also have such positive feelings about the showrunner Frances Gardiner (consulting prod on succession and also has killing eve under her belt) who JKR chose herself and one of the exec producers of the show who's set to direct of a bunch of episodes Mark Mylod (succession, the menu, tlou, got)!!!! and if you know me at all you'll know that succession is one of the main pillars of my personality and i fucking love that show so bad I would follow anyone who was part of the making of that show off a cliff if they asked me to. and Mark Mylod is a fantastic fucking episodic director who's directed and produced some of the best episodes of television ever, so i know he knows how to tell a good story. and though i'm a lot less familiar with Gardiners' work, she is a female creative who has some of my personal favourite episodes listed in her imdb (chiantishire, living+, tailgate party) who's pitch of the show made joanne give her the job so.... and y'all know im a canon bootlicker and love the books so all i'll say is.. real recognizes real.

so knowing the creative team behind hp series had a direct hand in making my favourite show of all time gets me so excited and giddy!!!!

but here's where my personal theories and speculations start: I really think with this hbo series, JKR is on a mission is create something wholly and newly hers. she was barely involved creatively in the production of the movies until DH pt. 1 and 2 and the movies have almost become an entity of its own that's drifted so far away from her. of course i realize me even just talking sympathetically about JKR is deeply touchy and might piss some people off but as a fellow creative, i feel for her man!! when i think of the best books in the series in my opinion that are filled with the best bits of world building and political commentary, what i find is that GoF was handed to a director who didn't even read the book, OotP was the shortest movie in the franchise despite being the longest book and how it entirely missed the Quibbler plot and all of harry's rage, or HBP that was filled to the brim with *chefs kiss* tom/voldemort lore which was done a complete disservice in the grey and brown sludgy mess that is the HBP movie.

and knowing that JKR now has a strained relationship or had a falling out with most of the top dogs involved in the films like Kloves and Yates (hallelujah what who said that) and Emma Watson and Daniel Radcliffe means this show has the chance to be a behemoth that’s entirely joanne’s, like the books are. it’ll be free of Kloves' Hermione and harmony (harry x hermione) favouritism or Watson's take on Hermione's character that makes my ass itch or Yate’s complete inability to direct his actors and make non-action scenes have heart, soul and heft. but i also can’t not address the elephant in the room: this section of the discussion is filled with every shade of grey possible because what led to the falling outs was that they all vehemently disagreed with JKR's anti-trans views and good on them they absolutely should! but like.............. i hated kloves' writing and his butchering of ron's character, i think yates is a static and boring director and im not a fan of emma's acting so like... a win is a win? NO IT'S NOT. but IT IS. BUT IT'S SO NOT. but do you see what i'm getting at???

the point i'm trying to make is that joanne is not the same person she was when she was first writing the books or when the movies were being made. I think she's a lot more ruthless and cutthroat now and while i disagree with her methods and condemn her transphobia.... i think this newfound hardness to her will lend itself to making the hbo series the best HP adaptation it can be, I'M SORRY it's absolutely fucked and i acknowledge and abhor her gender critical politics as a queer woman but im also an artist who just wants good, high quality stories to be told 😔😩

and as for the other popular ships and JKR's somewhat recent comments about romione:

I think its safe to say that joanne dgaf about this fandom and what's popular in it anymore LMFAOOOO 😭😭😭 i genuinely respect that she's always stood ten toes down about how draco's not some antihero, bad boy love interest and at best is a cautionary tale on prejudiced bullies, so I don't think that's changing anytime soon. especially considering that the dramione cottage industry that its fans have made is more or less a reactionary "fuck you" to joanne and canon which they do by writing fanfic about crimes against women and making merch and binding physical copies of said fanfics (really showing it to the big baddie transphobic DV survivor by *checks notes* auctioning hermione off as a sex slave) so I doubt she'd ever consider other ship's popularity seriously. as for the possibility of harry and hermione becoming endgame um..... if the show plans to faithfully adapt the books then we'd get harry and hermione’s quintessential sibling dynamic plus we’re already free from Kloves (also i have faith in francesca and mark knowing that harmony are just plain BORING) so i think the chances, again, are low. and if joanne really wants to stick it to her old colleagues, she can go down the route of pushing romione that much harder (and she really wouldn’t have to do much, it’s all in the books already) 😭

as for the comments on romione that she’s made in recent years, i think a lot of it’s been blown out of proportion or have gone through a terrible game of telephone. what she said (paraphrasing here) about ‘wishing she’d handled ron/hermione differently because a lot of what went into them was a wish fulfillment fantasy’ has turned into ‘jk rowling regrets making romione endgame???!!’ which is just *takes a drag from a cigarette* just another tuesday around here. i also would link to two meta posts by @saintsenara on the topic of endgame romione which i wholeheartedly agree with it

all i have to say is that going into making this show i hope joanne remembers that she based ron’s character off of a person in her life she liked when she was younger and who is still a good friend of hers now 😭😔

you guys probably know i’m in animation school which is basically film school in a different font. so i’m quite literally training to one day work in the story department on projects and work alongside writers, directors and producers, so this stuff means a lot to me! she and the creative team behind this upcoming show have the chance to make something really special and i’m finding it hard not to root for them!!!!!

Sign the petition - No, HBO: Don’t Platform Transphobia!

I spent years in the Harry Potter fandom. Those books brought me comfort, joy, and friends from around the world. I spent countless hours reading, watching the films, attending the cons, and creating art and community online and off. My life wouldn’t be the same without Harry Potter. For all those reasons, I wish I could be excited about the @hbomax TV show - but I can’t.

We do not want this show. JKR’s anti-trans rhetoric is helping fuel a movement that is getting trans people harassed, alienated, and killed. Creating a Harry Potter TV now adds legitimacy and support to her hateful, harmful, wrong beliefs.

We will not watch this show. Fans have written an open letter to HBO telling them to cancel the show. I hope you’ll read it, and join me in signing to say HBO, No: Don’t Platform Transphobia! 

No, HBO: Don't Platform Transphobia!

Listen @hbomax, this Harry Potter TV show is supporting transphobia. The movies were magic. The TV show is tragic and fans don’t want it. Re

Harry Potter Fans

If you were to write for the new tv series, what do you think should be included?

I think peeves, Hagrid states Young Sirus Black lent me the motorcycle, all the trials to get to the mirror of erised, and them trying to get norbert the dragon out of school and to Charlie friends.

Please share what scenes you would like to see!
