GC Rowling's Battlefield TERF, part 2: Fantastic Wheeshts and Where to Find Them

[DreadedScotsman]

As if those books haven't been done to death.

I bet a black Hermione will be cast and JKR's new right-wing fans will cry about how woke it is (remembering the fun and games when the Wheel of Time cast was revealed and Egwene, Nynaeve and Perrin - main characters - were all played by actors of colour), while liberal fans will go on about rep or something. Spare me.

I'm sure that'll be a fun few episodes where all the main cast makes fun of Hermione for not being ok with slavery

It's obvious it should involve a new intake, not Potter etc all over again.

At least it'd give a whole new generation of British thesps the chance to have "Harry Potter actor dies" be the headline of their obituary.

Let's have series set in

Beauxbatons Academy of Magic (France)
Castelobruxo (Central Brazil)
Durmstrang Institute (Northern Europe)
Ilvermorny (Eastern North America)
Mahoutokoro School of Magic (Japan)
Uagadou School of Magic (Uganda)
Koldovstoretz (Russia)

What could possibly go wrong?

[Terry Torpid]

I love how vague she is about the rest of the world. I can understand a British person lumping, say, South America into one general blob, but "Northern Europe" is wonderfully disinterested. Durmstrang is set in one of those German-speaking countries you get in Scandinavia, you know, like Bulgaria.

Africa only gets one school because of course it does. Aussie witches don't exist.

You'd think a series that has as many books would go deep into some world building.

Look at the amount of work Tolkein did before he even wrote the thing. He wrote a tome's worth of lore.

[Dr Rock]

She truly believes she did some excellent world building.

At least it'd give a whole new generation of British thesps the chance to have "Harry Potter actor dies" be the headline of their obituary.

Sad to think when Jarvis Cocker carks it, the headline will probably be 'star of Harry Potter who mooned Michael Jackson died today'
In other rock news, 'star of Harry Potter, singer Ian Brown also passed away in a covid related illness.

Africa only gets one school because of course it does. Aussie witches don't exist.

Haven't you heard of the famous Aussie witch, Bazza Boomerang?

[Kankurette]

She probably would have done something horrifying involving Aboriginal myth.

[Terry Torpid]

Her excuse for only having one African school is that African witches and wizards homeschool their kids. She probably thinks they don't have schools, and the whole continent is like a Bob Geldof appeal video.

[Urinal Cake]

I'm pretty sure Hogwarts would open a few franchises though if they were commercially viable and were anti-trans enough.

What they should do is make a Hogwarts X Euphoria series. Instead of the Hogwarts X Wednesday Addams BS they probably trying to make.
