    I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

    If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

    HBO’s Harry Potter series premieres this Christmas.

    HBO has released the first trailer for its upcoming Harry Potter series, which will help fund executive producer J.K. Rowling’s ongoing crusade against transgender people. In addition to dropping the trailer, HBO has also bumped the series’ premiere date up to December 25th 2026. [Media: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RIu4sFKGi6E]

    @nileane @verge I was too old to care about HP when it came out, I am too worried about the well being of trans folks to care about it right now.

    I have zero respect for people who, in 2026, still consume HP

        Remember when a bunch of subscribers canceled their streaming subscriptions over Jimmy Kimmel? What if a lot of HBO subscribers canceled with the reason for canceling be "Cancel Harry Potter."

        They back peddled on Kimmel. If HBO loses enough money over this, they will change too.

        I'm disappointed I don't have an HBO subscription to cancel.

            Media coverage aside, looks like this Christmas is gonna suck for trans people who will have to deal — on top of everything — with their entire social circles of cis people gasping and gushing over the new Harry Potter series that's actively funding the policies that are torturing and killing them.

              Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:

              • Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.

              • Pirate the shit out of it.

              @nileane it's possible this is a massive flop, people are still so attached to the previous actors. I thought it was a strange they decided to make this, for so many reasons.

                @nileane @verge TBH, maybe she wouldn't need those funds, if her lovely friendship with Jeffrey wasn't abruptly interrupted by his sudden death. An horrible event, happened when he died in a US penitentiary. Before he could name his other accomplices in a criminal pedophiles network. Even before some have been elected to governmental roles. The rest is secret history.

                    @nileane you missed point three:
                    • The rest of us can and will judge you for it, and I for one fully reserve the right to assume you are a danger until proven otherwise.

                      @nileane I noticed that there's a lot of pirated movies and shows in https://www.hyphanet.org/ It's safer than torrent.

                        @nileane My best friend is a huge HP fan, but he also wants to do the right thing. I had no trouble turning my back on it when she started her anti-trans bullshit. He’s taking it slower. I’m trying. He already knows what I’m going to say if he says something positive about HP, so he rarely brings it up. But it’s tough to strike the right balance. I’m not giving an inch on JKR is bad and trans people are good. But I can’t yell at him every time we talk. Doing the best I can.

                              I will always hate finding out that the authors of beloved books or songs are absolutely horrendous. People whose moral sentiments completely abhorrent.

                                Just saw an announcement earlier today.

                                Enjoyed HP back in the day.

                                Before JKR revealed herself to be a TERF.

                                Hard pass....

                                  Not really. She wants to erase the performances of the 3 film leads because they're not supporting her TERF politics, and actively speaking up against her because of them.

                                  To me though they'll always be the best.

                                    @ret @nileane because she’s mad that all three main child actors from the movies have since called her out for her transphobia and distanced themselves from her and the franchise. She needs fresh puppets.

                                      I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

                                      If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

                                      HBO’s Harry Potter series premieres this Christmas.

                                      HBO has released the first trailer for its upcoming Harry Potter series, which will help fund executive producer J.K. Rowling’s ongoing crusade against transgender people. In addition to dropping the trailer, HBO has also bumped the series’ premiere date up to December 25th 2026.

                                      @nileane @verge Honestly, bitch could be slated to not make a dime off this show and I still wouldn't watch it. I left for the transphobia, I stayed gone fir the realisation of her apparent inability to not name a minority character something not obviously fucked up.

                                        Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:

                                        • Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.

                                        • Pirate the shit out of it.

                                          Neil Gaiman broke my heart. Thank god at least he wasn't one of my seminal authors....
