@stux Remakes are just cash grabs and always are disappointing.

@stux to be fair that's probably incorrect. I would guess that there's a nucleus of Warner Brothers (and other) corporate executives hoping that this remake will put enough shine back into the Rowling brand that they can squeeze another couple of decades of money from it. I wouldn't be surprised if "a new generation of children" has been invoked in corporate boardrooms, as the purported beneficiaries of flogging Harry Potter back into service for a new TV show.

@stux I don't agree.The Harry Potter books were definitively the best reading experience I've ever had in my life.I've read all of the books to my kids as well, and I wouldn't miss a minute of that wonderful time.There is some much magic and wisdom in those books, and the prophecies of the hard times we are in at the moment.I am here to protect her and willing to cast every spell I know with the exception of one of the forbidden ones.

@stux I'm not watching at all. I gave up on Harry Potter several years ago when I heard the author was a bigot

@stux Feels like the remake is for people who don't want to cope with the original cast rejecting Rowling. I'm curious if they're going to downplay the "look, I'm a racist/classist/fatphobic piece of shit" notes in this one even further than the original ones, or if they're going to lean in even farther?

@stux Streaming services now use paid services to track how often torrents are downloaded, effectively treating piracy as another viewer metric. Just by torrenting it you're helping boost JKR's numbers. And alas, using a VPN won't change that.There are many services, but one such tool is Piracymeter.https://piracymeter.com/

@stux I bet Rowling did.Someone with a whole lot of money did.That's at least two souls...well...one maybe.Eh...maybe you're right.

@stux I did enjoy the films on release despite some problematic elements and they certainly don't need to be remade for streaming or otherwise even if you don't consider the problematic author and where the profits will be goingAs soon as I saw the transphobic and hate filled ramblings on twitter, it was instant boycott from me for anything by JK RowlingThat's it. She lost my support right thereI wouldn't even bother to download the stuff because potter just needs to be left to die

@stux even if she wasn't a TERF, Rowling is a billionaire. Which means she deserves to be boycotted for that alone. #BoycottBillionaires #BoycottRowling

@stux@mstdn.social I like how nobody likes the remake.The left hates it because Rowling and the right hates it because they made Severus Snape a black guy.It is literally made to appeal to nobody.
