In case anyone didn't know, JK has said before that she sees the ongoing success of Harry Potter as direct approval of her stance towards transgender people.
This just in, J.K. Rowling is a literal bag of pond scum. More old news at 11.
Why are we still giving JK Rowling money?
I fully intend on not watching this show on a monetized service that would give her money
I mean, I'm not
Before the S hit the F, we bought the entire movie set and the entire book set for our kids. We'd regularly read them to them before bed, and now it makes me throw up in my mouth. As I always say, she can fuck off into the sun. There is absolutely no financial benefit for her to be a tankie, but I guess once you're rich you can just go full mask off.
And Harry will be played by French Stewart.
Joseph Gordon-Levitt could be Malfoy?
Oh Harry, Harry, Harry... Did you, lovable little magical crotch goblin, place your silly little name in my shiny flambee chamber pot?
Harry Potter and the Trinity Killer.
“You’re a woman, Harry.”
Great casting for a project that shouldn't fucking exist.
Will Harry still be played by the ghost of Kevin Peter Hall in a giant Sasquatch suit? Oh wait, Im thinking of the wrong Harry..
I blew past this comment not even getting the reference at first, even though I watch Harry and the Hendersons with my daughter all the time. I actually got about five or six posts down my feed before it dawned on me and I had to come back to let you know.
I see what you did there!
Wait... Why the series if the movies exist and already do the same job perfectly well...
Because JK Rowling likes money, I presume
She loves money about as much as she hates trans!
It's mainly HBO/Warner's new parent company and their president who wanted this to happen
Line go up.
He's not playing Dumbledore, he's playing Michael Gambon's version of Dumbledore. .
When I see him with a beard, I suppose it's not the worst choice. Still, this series seems as though it will be a little unusual and not something anyone had asked for.
He's a good actor, perhaps he will surprise everyone like hal becoming Walter White
He played a very believable serial killer in Dexter, and before Third Rock From the Sun he was largely known for his dramatic roles.
I like that your best comparison for Dumbledore is Walter White
Love Lithgow wonder if it'll be similar to his Churchill
I'd be surprised if he used anything like his natural accent - American voices seem to be against the rules for fantasy shows (though there's probably exceptions I'm not thinking of).
Dumbledore is gonna be hilarious.
Seems like it wont be strictly UK actors this time around
Harry Potter and the American Actors trying to pretend to have British accents, Part 1.
Keanu Reeves for Severus Snape! Or Sirius Black. He's serious and wears black in John Wick, so he's perfect for the role!
