Warner Bros. Discovery announced in April that Rowling’s beloved book series — which was previously adapted into an eight-movie film franchise — would be reimagined for the small screen. Rowling will serve as an executive producer on the show, which is described as a “decade-long series” following a cast of all-new actors. However, the announcement has received some criticism due to J.K. Rolling’s involvement in the production considering her recent anti-LGBTQ+ remarks. She mocked the criticism saying, “Activists in my mentions are trying to organize yet another boycott of my work, this time of the Harry Potter TV show. As forewarned is forearmed, I’ve taken the precaution of laying in a large stock of champagne.” #queer_up_trans_rights
