This is my (late) opinion on the discussion about Coke and main-character impersonators in the WWoHP...
- I'm all for authenticity and detailed authenticity only; I stand firmly by that.
- Jo Rowling asks for these things to be excluded because she cares and respects her world and her creation, but most importantly she respects and sticks out for the people who love the Harry Potter world, and she is not on the side of money and personal greed. All this talk about her being rich and yadda yadda... If she cared about the money then we'd have all sorts of products sold, but no. She asks for authenticity for the sake of our experience, and I think that's what Uni is going for too, apart from wanting our money...
- I have the prime example of a popular book whose author sells out and the material gets destroyed with a movie that is an abomination to the art of book-to-film adaptation, all because he wasn't involved enough and didn't stick out enough for his creation and his fans... ERAGON... That's all I'm going to say. I'm SO glad Jo looks out for what she thinks is best in the WWoHP and our experience there, and that Uni is going along. :thumbs:
