Funniest thing about Rowling being accused of any anti-Semitism is that she once even said that Harry would support Israel. If you've ever read the books, you know well Harry likely has no idea what even is Israel.

I'm convinced at least half of the time when she says these things she's shitposting to see people's reactions

I mean, she has genuine "Fuck You" money, and the new movies might bring in a new generation to read the books, meaning another wave of big royalty cheques.

She could legitimately just shitpost of Twitter and not be effected by it.

Instead of doing world War II in fantastic beasts and where to find them, she should have done the wizard Troubles. I want to know what magical Belfast was like
 
It's Vancouver. What the hell did you expect from Canadians? Unless they're holding a hockey stick, they're the most cucked race in the face of the Earth. It's genetic for them to be apologetic for everything.

Are we sure Radcliffe isn't a pooner? I keep getting him confused with that Juno chick.

Remake of Juno but Radcliff is mpreg Troono Juno and Page is pooner Michael Cera.

I think this would completely revitalize both of their careers and send them to that A list stardom they've always craved.
 
Disney thinks it has found the new JK Rowling (without the trans baggage), this is the title of the archived article, live version is called: "Disney thinks it has found the new (right-on) JK Rowling"

Bob Iger, Disney’s chief executive, raved of his new acquisition: “When I read Impossible Creatures, I knew it belonged here at Disney. I was immediately drawn into the vibrant world Katherine imagined and the possibilities of what we could do together with this story.” He might be forgiven for adding, sotto voce, that he is hoping that this will be the next Harry Potter series, without the baggage that its author brought with it.

Never heard of her but I don't read children's books and it's hilarious if they think they can predict or force a "new Harry Potter". And the comments are having none of it either.
I also searched for reviews of the book and found this description: "it hits all the key notes of our zeitgeist. Climate anxiety, empowerment of children, wealthy people are evil, and wonder at the world." Sounds horrible and preachy, I don't think these people understand what the themes are that made HP universally appealing.

Isn't Impossible Creatures that RTS game where you can fuse a lobster with a wolverine or something?

I love how they're always claiming auch-and-such author is outselling Rowling by some fantastically huge amount, but then it always turns out to be a brief blip in some particular market that has already settled down by the time the claim is made.

Didney trying to find a "new harry potter", rather than just trying to find new markets, only shows how creatively bankrupt the mouse is. Always looking backwards.

I had never heard of Katherine Rundell before so I looked her up on Wikipedia. She got 12 books published between 2011 and 2022 before she wrote the first book in the series that The Telegraph thinks is going to destroy Harry Potter. Rowling had published zero (0) books when Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone came out and that was all it took for her to have a smash hit.

I'm not saying Rundell is a bad author but Rowling she is not.

Also:
Shortly after graduating, Rundell secured an examination fellowship at All Souls College, Oxford.[5] She told The Bookseller's Anna James that the examination process had included a three-hour written paper on the single word "novelty", and added: "I wrote about Derridean deconstructionist theory and Christmas crackers [...] I feel like they might have let me in despite rather than because of it."[14] Rundell subsequently completed a doctoral thesis, titled "'And I am re-begot': the textual afterlives of John Donne".[19]

The problem for Disney is Disney. They can't make good movies anymore. Just look what they did to Artemis Fowl. Even if Impossible Creatures is a good book, the movie is going to be terrible.

Their goal should be to make good movies, not to find another Harry Potter. The audience will become loyal fans if you give them good entertainment.

Also I love that Disney is still angry that they rejected JK and they are still desperately searching for their own Potter.

Sir, she just put on makeup and is actually posing for a picture in the one on the right.

If she actually got work done in those 5 years it certainly isn't shown in these pictures.

To me, Harry Potter was pure and simple escapism, literally. It was about Harry escaping his shitty mundane British life and going into a magical world full of wonder and spectacle, much like the readers themselves.

Shoehorning "the zeitgeist" on climate bullshit and eeeevil rich people into it is completely missing the point. You're not just doing escapism wrong, you're shoving reality in where it doesn't belong which it the complete opposite of escapism. Bad form. BOOOOOOOO
