Pedro Pascal Calls For Boycott of HBO's Upcoming $2 Billion ‘Harry Potter' Series — World of Reel
Pascal has called for a boycott of all Harry Potter-related content, including the upcoming Warner/Max series, in response to J.K. Rowling's support of a recent UK Supreme Court decision that legally defined "woman" and "sex" as referring exclusively to individuals born biolo
This guy just keeps getting more and more wonderful ❤️

I mean… all her bullshit aside anyway; It’s too soon for a Harry Potter remake.
I still can't wrap my head around who this is meant to be for. Fans that are old enough to have grown up with the original series are never going to like this and fans that are younger will still have seen the old series. It's not like it's so old it's unwatchable.
I don't understand how anybody in an executive position thought this was a good idea, especially because there is loads of stuff you could make a show about in the wizarding world universe (cough marauders cough).
It’s meant for the people hoping to make money off of it. Just like the LOTR series.
But rings of power wasn't just a remake, it's actually set at a much earlier point in the history.
The book fans who want a more book accurate take?
Well, there's the books.
Not everything needs to be turned into a video format.
They asked who this was for so the answer is those people who want a video that is book accurate.
90s kids will hate to hear this but it's actually been 38 years since the first movie debuted. Wild huh
Did you use AI to calculate that? Cuz it has only been 24 years.
It's been 24 years since the first movie was released and 28 years since the first book was released.
Wrong math aside, it doesn’t matter how old a movie/s are as long as they have aged well. Harry Potter movies are perfectly serviceable even with some questionable cgi because the music and general cinematography are fantastic.
Is it?
I can't say I have ever liked the films, so maybe they will produce something better.
I would say yes.
The amount of media coverage and fandom the series got pretty much immortalized the actors within their roles. Animated stuff, fine. But live-action, not for the next quarter-century, at least.
Aside from that. We need more new stories, ideas, and tales; not just rebooted/regurgitated slop, made just to bleed a successful franchise dry.
I agree with your last point, but is seems to me that people are enchanted with this setting and would really like to revisit Hogwarts. So I would say I disagree with you on that it is not soon enough.
A spinoff would be fine. It seems to be working pretty well for the Star Wars universe.
A "reboot" however, would be a bit silly, given how that usually means restarting the whole story from scratch, most often with a new cast and sometimes sizeable changes to the writing.
The article may have used the term a bit loosely and meant that just the writing was being restarted from a stop/hiatus, while retaining the original continuity.
Yeah, I think a spin off would be best.
But the fantastic beasts are rather dissapointing. I feel like Rowling will ruin any film she will write, and I doubt she will let someone else do it, so my hopes aren't high. The main story is at least decent and interesting enough.
