J. K. Rowling had a nonchalant response to criticism about her involvement on the upcoming Harry Potter TV series.
“Dreadful news, which I feel duty bound to share,” the author, 57, wrote via Twitter on Friday, April 21. “Activists in my mentions are trying to organise [sic] 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.”
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. “We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” said Casey Bloys — cchairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content — in a presentation earlier this month. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World.”
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. “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series,” Rowling said in an April statement about the series.
Fans’ decision to boycott the show comes after Rowling’s many controversies over the years, namely her comments regarding transgender women. The Ickabog author came under fire in December 2019 for tweeting her support of British researcher Maya Forstater, who was fired from her job after sharing transphobic comments online.
