I've been critical of the way the @verge has been covering the development of HBO's upcoming Harry Potter reboot. But it looks like it wasn't in vain.

If you're going to cover it, *this* is how the series should be described every time it's mentioned.

Media coverage aside, looks like this Christmas is gonna suck for trans people who will have to deal — on top of everything — with their entire social circles of cis people gasping and gushing over the new Harry Potter series that's actively funding the policies that are torturing and killing them.

Cis people reading this, if you intend to watch the new HP series when it comes out, here’s two pieces of advice that you're not allowed to ignore:

• Have the decency to keep it and your reactions to yourself. This trans people-killing piece of media doesn't need any of your free publicity.

• Pirate the shit out of it.

@nileane it's possible this is a massive flop, people are still so attached to the previous actors. I thought it was a strange they decided to make this, for so many reasons.

Not really. She wants to erase the performances of the 3 film leads because they're not supporting her TERF politics, and actively speaking up against her because of them.

To me though they'll always be the best.

@sar @BenjaminKlein @nileane Does this mean that the new leads are under pressure to publicly support JK Rowling?

@geolaw @sar @BenjaminKlein @nileane Well, they're kids. And like with the previous lot, JKR has been hovering over the set sometimes personally.

I would LAUGH my ass off if they took exactly the same stances as the OGs in a few years when they're a bit older. That would be hilarious 😂

I’ve been really impressed by the way they’ve charted their courses since HP, the choices they’ve made and things they’ve said must stick so in her craw
