Right, I guess what I’m saying is I don’t think people will watch because the people keeping the terrible Game of Thrones prequel afloat are unlikely to be as compelled by this series.The show is only pointless if people don't watch
Granted, I haven’t kept up with the series, but the Cormoran Strike novels are/were good.Rowling has been unable to craft engaging stories
It's interesting because I think the first film is generally regarded as the worst, yet it's the most slavish adaptation. I know some Hermione stans will fight me, but cutting SPEW from book 2 was a smart move. I forget all the changes from book 6 to film but I remember thinking they made for a tighter, more dramatic narrative.If they do then I'd say its worth making even if not much will change but....books 4-7 have lots of things cut
They took out most of the interesting stuff about Horcruxes and Voldemort. It’s the book that will most benefit from the is project.forget all the changes from book 6 to film but I remember thinking they made for a tighter, more dramatic narrative.
I doubt they'll get that far. LolThey took out most of the interesting stuff about Horcruxes and Voldemort. It’s the book that will most benefit from the is project.
Voldemort family back story is really good and darkThey took out most of the interesting stuff about Horcruxes and Voldemort. It’s the book that will most benefit from the is project.
That's why I say I think that would play better on its own. Say, a movie. Ditto the Dumbledore backstory in 6 & 7.Voldemort family back story is really good and dark
No idea why they cut it out
I do love that film but the tone is very different from the book
Just give me an actual movie version of Puffs and I’ll be satisfied.
An also acceptable option.I'd take JKR in a dunk tank of epoxy resin.
If it can poison the real flesh and blood brains of powerful people and influence their decisions, then it definitely can be.Twitter is not real life.

The average person is too stressed out and/or broke to believe boycotting anything matters nor are willing to separate from a community they have felt a part of for now decades like harry potter. It sucks JK is an ahole. But much of the community is more than her and better.I'm not defending JKR or saying Twitter can't influence individuals or trends. I'm saying the "consensus" that is often formed on Twitter -- in this case, liking Potter is a faux pas/the brand is canceled and won't succeed -- does not reflect the actual reality of the rest of the world. The sample size is too small to begin with -- but more crucially, too specific to a certain type of demographic.

She was not the same person she is now when writing the books which is why wb needs a guarantee of creative control at this pointYeah, it's incredibly sad what she's become but I'm beyond tired of people reaching for straws trying to recast the books as some Birth of a Nation-esque manifesto.
