I will concede the point that for WBD, JKR is the source of the Franchise
they have, rather than necessarily the Franchise they want. If the future
of these entertainment companies really is tied to IP, I guess you go with
what you can. And Adam is no doubt right that Potter is still popular, it’s
I'm actually not that shocked that WB-D would go long on JKR, even with
everything that's come out about her - put bluntly, Warners doesn't have
the plethora of tentpole properties that Disney or University have.
Or maybe a better way to say that is that they SHOULD, what with the
entirety

I'm pretty sure that JK Rowling used "JK" rather than "Joanne" simply
because her publisher thought it was expedient for sales. Boys aren't (or
weren't) as likely to buy a fantasy book written by a female as written by
a male. I'm sure that as a largely unpublished author, she relied heavily
on
Amidst all the discussion about Rowling and her opposition to people
claiming different genders, rarely has it been brought up that using the
initials JK is a traditional author technique of misleading potential
readers into believing the female author is a male, and that when she
penned a mystery
I don’t know that we have seen someone tank such a valuable brand. It would
be as if Tolkien were alive today, and just after the films based on his
books made hundreds of millions he started tweeting about how the Holocaust
was not really that bad.
I’m shocked Warner-Discovery is going long on
It'll take ten years to tell all the stories from Rowling's books, and
stuff that was in the books but left out of the movies will likely be
included... the budget will be on par with *GoT* and *...Dragon*, WBD
