Bel Powley, who’s playing Petunia in HBO’s Harry Potter show, has given her views on the JK Rowling controversy, and the response is bad.
Nostalgia is a bullshit excuse at this point. I can’t fathom why people would want to continue to invest the games, reboots, etc.
Every time we give her money she will immediately turn around and hurt people with her status.
Also, to each their own but I think the harry Potter universe is really bland at best.
It was cute when it came out and I was 10. I really don’t get all these nearly 40yr olds that have turned it into their religion today
Well now I’m glad I decided to read Percy Jackson instead of Harry Potter when I was 14 at the library.
There is plenty of great modern fantasy out there as well.
Bel Powley says that trans people should be respected, but works to generate a transphobic activist millions of pounds.
I thought the whole point of the show was that the film actors were too progressive.
I think the main point was money. But diminishing the original actors claim to the Harry Potter world is probably a nice bonus.
Gots to appreciate the irony of these people shading someone else for propping up oligarchy trash though:
Bel’s still taking the paycheck generated from JK’s work though, isn’t she?” wrote on X user, while another said, “Shouldn’t have agreed to work for JKKK Rowling and become a sad part of her anti-rights crusade, then. We won’t soon forget.”

Destroying civil society is expensive work, therefore new TV show so Joanne can make everyone else as hateful and miserable as she is.
