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.

@nileane @verge So an openly fascist author is using the profits from their 3 decade old anti-fascist book series to fund more fascism in the real world? Wow. She probably should have used her money on a good therapist instead. 
Also... I probably would not bother pirating this. The original "Philosopher's Stone" movie was only good because Chris Columbus and the cast made it work. Joanne's recent works are rather shitty and only seem to get worse (see: Metacritic reviews of the "Fantastic Beasts" franchise). She's probably rebooting Harry Potter since all of her recent writing projects have been shit. In short, I don't need to ruin my good experiences with the original "Philosopher's Stone" with this shitty remake. I already feel terrible about the original "Philosopher's Stone" because it is a great adventure movie that got ruined several decades later by an increasingly erratic, unstable, and dangerous author. 😬
@arazil @nileane @verge Well it was anti-fascist in the sense that people like Churchill were anti-fascist. The primary goal of the resistance in the #HarryPotter franchise was not to question the roots of fascism and create an egalitarian society based on needs and abilities of everyone, but to restore the previous exclusive liberal order, including slavery. In the end the main character decides to become a cop. Of all the things one could do with magic, he decides that his priority is to make sure the elite of wizards remains unbothered by their nonmagical fellow humans.
Maybe HP was an anti-fascist book. But it was not a good one.
