It’s so weird. When the series was announced i was certain the studio was trying to modernize and edit the potter series, to veer it away from JKR and her controversies, so that the series could survive without the creator’s bullshit.
Instead they hired her as a producer, which means they’re just doubling down, not to mention it’s pointless to remake a series with the same people in charge. That would be like a LOTR remake made by Peter Jackson
