‘Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts’ Trailer - Now playing

Thought they cancelled J. K. Rowling?

She still gonna get paid though. Win/win for her.

yeah she's "i can double down on my thoughts, GFY" rich.

I seriously doubt I'll watch it because of the way they shite on JK Rowling but have no problem making money off of her.

I feel like it’s because HP was more of a coming of age saga that people grew up with hence the extra emotional connection whereas LOTR was just incredibly awesome movie without the emotional audience ties for the most part.

I do find that Lord of the Rings fans are more loyal and smarter than Harry Potter fans. It’s a far more thorough mythology than Harry Potter.

Certainly can agree to that. Harry Potter is more relatable to many, regarding the coming of age, being the new kid in class, meeting new friends and dealing with teachers … and seeing the kids grow up was its own type of magic as well.


As for the movie themselves , lord of the rings was nominated 30 times for various Academy Awards, and won a staggering 17 times. Harry Potter was nominated about a dozen times over it’s eight movie run, but failed to take home a single statue.

A great article on some of the idiotic woke shite flinging:

The prologue details the incredible challenges Rowling faced getting to where she is today.

Who was not invited to participate in the Harry Potter 20th anniversary special? Why, the very woman, who in the most difficult of circumstances, and by the power of her own will and invention, brought the entire phenomenon into existence. She was effectively blacklisted from the celebration of what she created while three pretentious and above all blasphemously ungrateful actors held the spotlight, and further — I’m looking for an elegant verb — dumped on the woman who made them. Made them, almost as completely as she made Harry Potter.

The high clerics of woke have declared Rowling anathema. She is a trans heretic. She is, in the gnarly coinage of that community, a TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminist). Needless to say the bunch that made up that hideous acronym will not be writing books for a world audience.

Apparently Rowling has been making the most outrageous statements, chief of which is the proposition that a biological man cannot be a biological woman. And the vice is also the versa. The backlash has been intense and extremely ugly. She has been viciously assailed on the Twitter stream. She has had death threats and has had her home address posted .

But she holds her own. She does not bend. Last year when certain authorities began promoting the phrase “people who menstruate” as a replacement for a term familiar since the birth of language and the emergence of conscious life (that would be “woman”), Rowling mocked it. Which is the only both correct and necessary response to these faddish idiocies. Very recently — you will find this hard to believe — when the Scottish police issued a guidance that rapes could be recorded as being carried out by a woman if the perpetrator “identifies as female,” Rowling gave that lunacy an apt Orwell-inspired response: “War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery. Ignorance is Strength. The Penised Individual Who Raped You Is a Woman.”

A brave woman is threatened, hated and tormented by the woke huns of our day. As for Radcliffe, Watson and Grint — brave in the films; ingrates and trendoids out of them.
