Whilst I’m certain most common people have no interest in JK Rowling’s personal life, it’s the majority of her fans that have access to Twitter or are at least tech savvy enough to be able to access what’s going on. And I do think that’s a particularly substantial difference, considering Crimes of Grindelwald significantly underperformed for a Harry Potter joint, and that was supported predominantly by fans who are likely Twitter users. Considering the prequel series hasn’t been that particularly well received and the potential actors who might find it to be bad PR to remain involved (obviously baring in mind they’re likely contract bound), it might just wind up not being worth the effort for Warner to will it back to life.

Again, I hope a third film is made because I think people are owed a conclusion, but I just think this is just a bit different than the standard ‘cancel culture/Twitter mob’ drama that people are dismissing it as.

I think CoG is unmitigated shite, and it's got nada to do with anything except the film itself.
