The controversy over the drama version of "Harry Potter" has intensified in recent days, thanks to the original author J· K. Rowling's transgender remarks controversy has made Rowling and the drama version boycotted by extreme fans.
The fans demanded that Warner fire Rowling and ban her from participating in all Harry Potter projects, otherwise they would launch a boycott of the drama version.
However, according to the latest news from the "Daily Mail", Warner was not only not frightened by extreme fans, but officially appointed Rowling as the casting leader of the drama version of "Harry Potter", which means that the casting of all actors in the future drama version will be fully responsible for Rowling.
At the same time, this also means that the topic of whether to continue to use "only British actors to participate" has come to an end, because Rowling has always insisted that the film and television shooting of "Harry Potter", whether it is filming or actors, must be from the UK, so as to conform to the magical world view she constructed.
And it is said that in addition to the huge royalties she can receive every year, Rowling can now receive $20 million a year from the project of the drama version of "Harry Potter"!
This also responds to Rowling's previous response to the boycott of opponents: "Every time I see these abuses, I open the email from the publisher, and I don't bother looking at the amount on it." ”
