The world’s most popular wizard is about to start all over again. Last year, the film company Warner Bros announced that a television series will be created about “Harry Potter” and his world. But creating a new series is not entirely without problems. The reason is called JK Rowling, the mastermind and author behind The Wizard. Rowling has written seven books about “Harry Potter” and was previously the owner of the Wizarding World brand. But in recent years, a lot of Rowling has been about her statements about transgender people. Now it’s storming again around the author and the entire production around the new series. There is even talk of a boycott.
Can you separate an author from his work, how is Warner Bros handling the storm and how will the series surpass both books and movies?
