While many Potterheads celebrated reports of HBO Max show, some feel it would be tainted by JK Rowling’s stance on gender
indicated that each season of a series would focus on one of the seven books, global Google searches for “Harry Potter cast” jumped by 250%.
Similarly, Noelle Alcom, 31, who was visiting from San Diego, said a TV series would be an opportunity to stay more true to the books. “Peeves was so funny in the books but he was completely left out of the films. In Goblet of Fire, there was so much that would have been cool to show in the movies which they never did. They also didn’t include any of Dudley’s redeeming qualities. They could get a lot of those details in.
When reports of the new TV series emerged, opinion online was divided. While the Potter franchise is one of the biggest cultural success stories of the 21st century – the books, films, theatre show and video games are – some Potter fans feel they can no longer support Rowling’s work because of her comments on gender identity.
