    I reject Rowling as the creator, most of it builds on pre existing ideas (The worst witch, existing folklore).

    So embrace a fandom that is not created by Rowling. If the fandom loves the setting but hates Rowling then start embracing the non-trademarked “Wizard School” genre. The ‘similar to but legally distinct from’ school of “Pigwarts” that had the famous student “Garry Cotter”.

    The only thing coming out for Harry Potter that is any good is redoing what has already been done. You already have the books and movies I’m sure, no reason to acquire a remake. Anything knew is going to involve bigoted wizards shitting their pants, Garry Cotter fan fiction is going to be much more interesting.

      Id much prefer this series was focused on a non trademarked version and was telling new stories with new rather than recycle Rowlings tale.

      But they didn’t make that series, they made the one thats coming. As much as i hate i do recognise they had resources to do new things that i would like to know about.

      Besides the worst witch and that one Netflix anime i have not seen much tv that explores this setting.

      Its the same with the hogwarts legacy game, sure some indie titles explore similar worlds but there is only one that explores such a big world as a beautiful 3d rpg.
