I think it's the politics that are less of an issue for the production and more that Rowling is a walking PR nightmare. The second tweet is noteworthy here. If you have a thing in production, you don't drop dirt on people like it's an internet beef.

It’s a minor thing compared to Joanne’s bigotry and cruelty, but I’m curious which reaction channels on YouTube will watch the new Harry Potter show and which won’t.

I'm morbidly curious to see how it turns out but my hopes aren't high. Behind-the-scenes info I've seen isn't inspire much confidence. Instead of trying to make it its own thing, they seem to be trying to repeat history down to the set design.

If they were able and willing to just go there and buy her out permanently so that she’s cut off from Harry Potter, then they should have done this show as an animated adaptation. Otherwise, I see no reason, not even slowing down to watch a car crash, to even entertain this show.

The way she frames it makes it seem like those who got on the project agree with her, which they do by virtue of enriching her regardless.

That and it's really gross to surround yourself with yes men, which she appears to be doing.

She can't even handle mild criticism at this point.

Along with the Transphobia (which has alienated her older fans) she has a reputation for being cruel, unproffessional, and self-centred. This reputation is not connected with her work but has overshadowed her work. She's not the person who wrote Harry Potter. She's the bigot who wrote Harry Potter.

Yeah that’s sort of what I meant. Using behind the scenes info to win a Twitter fight and impress her fan base on Twitter
