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

@geolaw @sar @BenjaminKlein @nileane Well, they're kids. And like with the previous lot, JKR has been hovering over the set sometimes personally.

@nileane @verge I wouldn't use that exact phrasing. It can be read as endorsing her funding for her hate. Too ambiguous.

"...to fund her disproportionate paranoid hate towards a minority..." would be more effective.

I’ve been really impressed by the way they’ve charted their courses since HP, the choices they’ve made and things they’ve said must stick so in her craw

@nileane

pirating will make free copies available for more people to watch the shitty thing. let it be unavailable.

@nileane @verge Harry Potter and the “holy fuck why is this still a thing”

@nileane @verge

I haven't given any money to the HP franchise since I learned she was a TERF, and stopped engaging with the fandom about the same time. With the damage she's doing to people, she's worse than her own villains.

@nileane @verge

I don't get it: the books have already been adapted to feature films, why make a tv show (wasting money probably to launder money for someone), I don't really get it...

@nileane

I'll boycott it. It's a big world & there are other things to watch/read.

@nileane
I wish I had like a friend who could burn shows and such for me on dvd and send them to me because I am not good with tech.

(Also not likely gonna watch that. I used to be HP fan, and loved the books as a kid who literally lived in a cupboard under the stairs for a while...but I am also a trans person so, yeah. Queen Terf really abandoned a big portion of her own fandom with this hate campaign.)

I would LAUGH my ass off if they took exactly the same stances as the OGs in a few years when they're a bit older. That would be hilarious
