Breitbart Reports: A journalist’s question about J.K. Rowling’s involvement in the upcoming Harry Potter TV series was studiously ignored Wednesday by HBO Content Head Casey Bloys.
The freeze out came after Warner Bros announced the merger of Discovery+ and HBO Max into a new streaming service simply named Max. With it, a plethora of new shows were revealed including an “original Harry Potter scripted series.”
In the press release, the media conglomerate confirmed Rowling would be involved to “ensure [the series] remains loyal to her original material.” During a Q&A held on the Warner Bros Burbank studio lot after the announcement, Bloys was asked about how Rowling’s stature could impact the show.
“No, I don’t think this is the forum,” Bloys responded, per IndieWire . “That’s a very online conversation, very nuanced and complicated and not something we’re going to get into.”
