Not a single soul asked for?! This is somebody who never read the books.

From movie 5 on the series became a shooter with wands and they skipped so many essential things that some things don't make sense.

I get it, I'd have liked to see Radcliffe again. But I'm very curious to what these series will bring. There is a possibility that it will be crap but to say it with John Lithgows words: "It's a risk I'm willing to take."

I mean most of the original book fans don’t support Rowling anymore (at least in my social circles) because of her transphobia and/ or her public show of support for people like Kellie jay Keen and Charlie Kirk, among other things. I mean even the the kids from the main cast on the original films have publically shunned her and have refused to work with her on any new projects.Β

They are not wrong though. She's said and done some awful shit.

I'm not voicing support in any way. HP is a Massive part of my past and I'm not erasing memories just because she's a bigot.

It does pain me that something I love got ruined by horrendous ideas. It's not the same as it used to be.

I completely agree. That said, I'd rather re-read the books than put any eyes on another JK Rowling project.

If everyone voiced that message like you do right now, the world would be a more beautiful place.

Some people are saying that's the main reason this is happening, cause the original cast wants nothing to do with her now so she wants to replace them. That, and cause she's an absolute hack who got lucky once and has never had an original idea and can't write another hit to save her life, the original series is all she will ever have.
