What's next? When do you think they will annouce the remake of the whole franchise or adaptation of the cursed child? Something strange is happening, are corporations losing investors free money?

    Warner recently announced they want to make more Harry Potter movies instead and want to work closely with Rowling for that. The idea that this will just be another way of scraping the bottom of the barrel, or that it was Rowling who wrote the entire Fantastic Beats desaster, or that somebody whose entire latest novel was just a bunch of strawmen arguing with each other in fake tweets may be creatively bankrupt, all didn't occur to them. They just see that the HP movies did really well at the box office and simply want to try harder to recreate that.

      lets be fair now, Warner Bros is really dumb and only got dumber with the Discovery merger

      you expect them to have anything occur to them?

      If I was a capitalist, it would seem to me like the best way to make money in movies is to find some major IP that people love (Star Wars, Marvel) and just milk that cow to a dry husk. I don't think there's a lot of IP that has that much pull in society, but HP is certainly on that list.

      people with money, in a 100% literal way, do not have the ability to grasp or even enjoy creative works. Songs, movies, a beautiful painting, nothing happens in there for them. Its all just investment vehicle logic.
