I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot.

[andycarolan@social.lol]

@nileane Yeah, nobody could pay me enough to watch that. Disappointed in the actors taking part knowing now what we do about the author tbh.

[ret@furry.engineer]

@nileane why do we need another one of these bloody things

[meadow@lgbtqia.space]

@nileane
Remember when a bunch of subscribers canceled their streaming subscriptions over Jimmy Kimmel? What if a lot of HBO subscribers canceled with the reason for canceling be "Cancel Harry Potter."

They back peddled on Kimmel. If HBO loses enough money over this, they will change too.

I'm disappointed I don't have an HBO subscription to cancel.

@nileane @verge I was too old to care about HP when it came out, I am too worried about the well being of trans folks to care about it right now.

I have zero respect for people who, in 2026, still consume HP

@nileane @verge

Sad part is some people will read that and say - oh good!

[wil@beige.party]

@meadow same. @nileane @verge

[kats@chaosfem.tw]

@nileane
Thanks to @verge for using their platform to call this out.

[cloudthethings@hachyderm.io]

@nileane I have zero intention of watching it. I will carefully avoid it while watching more Starfleet Academy

[benjaminklein@mastodon.nu]

@nileane it's possible this is a massive flop, people are still so attached to the previous actors. I thought it was a strange they decided to make this, for so many reasons.

[luc0x61@mastodon.gamedev.place]

@nileane @verge TBH, maybe she wouldn't need those funds, if her lovely friendship with Jeffrey wasn't abruptly interrupted by his sudden death. An horrible event, happened when he died in a US penitentiary. Before he could name his other accomplices in a criminal pedophiles network. Even before some have been elected to governmental roles. The rest is secret history.

I don't want to be mean but Harry looks a lot like Ruth Davidson.

[zbrown@floss.social]

@nileane you missed point three:
• The rest of us can and will judge you for it, and I for one fully reserve the right to assume you are a danger until proven otherwise.

[bhasic@mastodon.social]

@nileane I noticed that there's a lot of pirated movies and shows in https://www.hyphanet.org/ It's safer than torrent.

[paco@infosec.exchange]

@nileane My best friend is a huge HP fan, but he also wants to do the right thing. I had no trouble turning my back on it when she started her anti-trans bullshit. He’s taking it slower. I’m trying. He already knows what I’m going to say if he says something positive about HP, so he rarely brings it up. But it’s tough to strike the right balance. I’m not giving an inch on JKR is bad and trans people are good. But I can’t yell at him every time we talk. Doing the best I can.

@nileane

I'll make sure to disable the seeding limit on this one

[dmian@mastodon.social]

@nileane @verge Fuck J.K.Rowling and her transphobe views. I don’t want to be even near any shit she does. Trans rights are human rights! #transrightsarehumanrights ️‍⚧️

[ghostonthehalfshell@masto.ai]

@nileane @verge

I will always hate finding out that the authors of beloved books or songs are absolutely horrendous. People whose moral sentiments completely abhorrent.

[cavyherd@wandering.shop]

@nileane

Just saw an announcement earlier today.

Enjoyed HP back in the day.

Before JKR revealed herself to be a TERF.

Hard pass....

[sar@social.elderlogs.net]

@BenjaminKlein @nileane

Not really. She wants to erase the performances of the 3 film leads because they're not supporting her TERF politics, and actively speaking up against her because of them.

To me though they'll always be the best.

[alahmnat@woof.tech]

@ret @nileane because she’s mad that all three main child actors from the movies have since called her out for her transphobia and distanced themselves from her and the franchise. She needs fresh puppets.
