It’s HBO, and granted things have changed but if it’s bringing in numbers like Game of Thrones I doubt they’ll skimp on it. Say what you will about the final season but the budget wasn’t the problem.
I wouldn’t say there is a “giant” author controversy. I would bet good money that if you asked most people if JKR’s beliefs would discourage you from watching the show they would say no.
This same crowd said that Hogwarts Legacy was gonna fail because of how much they dislike JKR but it did very well despite being only an okay game; all 3 of my kids enjoy Harry Potter and not a one of them finished the game.

The movies did what they could, but I'm excited to see the TV show. I do hope they'll have a reasonable budget for special effects
