“Harry Potter” author, J.K. Rowling shocked the leftist elite and faced woke cancellation in 2020 after she expressed her opposition to transgenders being allowed in single-sex spaces such as bathrooms and locker rooms.
The colonels of cancellation called for all to attack her, blacklisting her books and running her down on social media.
Leftists have been actively slamming HBO’s revival of Rowling’s “Potter” book series as a streaming show series – but it seems to be to no avail.
HBO has enraged the anti-Rowling movement by announcing that it will not yield and will continue to work with the author: “J.K. Rowling has a right to express her personal views. We will remain focused on the development of the new series, which will only benefit from her involvement.” It added that “her contribution has been invaluable.”

The HBO news has certainly has put some writers at Variety in a tizzy. Adam Vary reports on the Potter production:
Rowling, meanwhile, has made her campaign against trans identity the central focus of her online persona. On Sept. 10, she posted the U.K. open casting call for the roles of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley to her 14.2 million followers on X. That was an exception: Over the next two months, Rowling posted or reposted more than 200 times (excluding replies) about trans-related issues to support her conviction, as she posted on Oct. 7, that gender identity “is defined by little more than a person’s subjective feelings, or (more accurately) their claim to feel those feelings.”
Later Vary adds:
She’s effectively made herself toxic to many within the core fandom, whose devotion began 25 years ago when they were children and has sustained the franchise long after the books and the film series concluded. It’s placed those fans in a vexing dilemma: How can they engage with the new show, or any other iteration of the franchise, if they vehemently disagree with Rowling’s views on gender identity?
Oh, the quandary created for the wizard-loving woke. It’s tough for them to have biological facts insert themselves into their fantastic fantasy.
