Not even going to pirate it. The entire franchise has become poisonous to me. I don’t begrudge anyone for still having fond memories of the series, but it’s really and truly completely ruined for me.
Billy Bunter(that’s where some of the fat-phobia comes from, I think), Naughtiest Girl, but also later shows/books like the Worst Witch which has a bullying raven haired potions teacher.
But also the Earth Sea novels and Pratchett’s Discworld series which also has a school of Wizardry.
I won’t watch it either. Sure, I’ve never seen or read a single Harry Potter book, nor do I have HBO …in fact I don’t even think it exists in NZ, but still, its the principle, right?
According to wikipedia, HBO Max was launched in NZ in June this year. And I too am boycotting all of the TV series and streaming services that I have no interest in watching.
Yup. Fuck that show. I won’t watch it, and I have HBO as well as a history of watching every Harry Potter movie to date.
