J.K. Rowling‘s holdment in the upcoming Harry Potter TV show has been the topic of talkion for some time now. HBO has deffinished the author’s role in the series.
What did HBO say about J.K. Rowling’s holdment?
In a recent statement to Variety, Warner Bros. Discovery shelp that they have “been laboring with J.K. Rowling and in the Harry Potter business for over 20 years” and that “her contribution has been inpriceless” thrawout that time. The company also insertressed troubles over the watchs of Rowling, noting that the author has “the right to articulate” her own watchs.
“We are haughty to once aget inestablish the story of Harry Potter — the hearthoting books that speak to power of frifinishship, rerepair and acunderstandledgeance,” the statement shelp. “J.K. Rowling has a right to articulate her personal watchs. We will remain caccessed on the growment of the recent series, which will only profit from her holdment.”
Over the past confineed years, Rowling’s online presence has caccessed heavily on her campaigns agetst the transgfinisher community. Many have taged the author a “TERF” (trans-exclusionary radical feminist), and Rowling hasn’t been cowardly about being vocal about her beliefs on gfinisher rehires. In October, the author posted a extfinished message to X about how — in her belief — gfinisher identity is “detaild by little more than a person’s subjective senseings, or (more exactly) their claim to sense those senseings.”
In the years since she’s become more vocal about her beliefs, many in the Harry Potter community have pondered her too much of a poisonous presence to persist helping it. Various fan sites and media have shut down in the years since 4-5 years since Rowling has been so outspoken online.
Despite Rowling’s watchs, HBO is excited to persist labor on the Harry Potter series. Last week, HBO CEO Casey Bloys shelp that Rowling was “very, very holdd” in picking the series’ authorrs and honestor. He also shelp that the statements made by Rowling online “haven’t swayed the casting or hiring of authorrs or productions staff” of the show, all of which remain mostly secret as of now.
