They're probably just making sure Disney doesn't do one.

Why do SJWs always set their sights so low? it's no wonder they never win anything truly substantial.
>Scorpius emerges triumphant from the water back in the present day. But he looks around and there’s no sign of Albus. Professor Umbridge tells him to get out of the lake—she is now the headmistress of Hogwarts. She says he can’t get away with breaking the rules just because he’s from an important family.
>Umbridge tells Scorpius there is no such student as Albus Potter, there hasn’t been a Potter at Hogwarts since Harry Potter was killed during a failed coup on the school at the Battle of Hogwarts. She tells him to get back to school or he’s going to ruin Voldemort Day.
>A new Hogwarts symbol hangs above the school.
>Every conversation in this alternate reality ends by people crossing their wrists and saying: For Voldemort and valor.
>Every girl at Hogwarts is hoping Scorpius—known as the Scorpion King—will ask them to the Blood Ball. The other kids do his homework.
>Scorpius goes to Severus Snape—who is still alive in this reality—and asks for help. At first Snape denies that he was once an undercover agent working for Dumbledore, until Scorpius shares so many details that could have been known by no one in this reality. He tells him that Harry named his son Albus Severus Potter.
THIS IS THE REAL PLOT, GUYS
>>71990272
HOWEVER
>>71991698
After seeing what Sony's going through trying to cash in on "progressive" and controversial casting I doubt they take the risk.
They're guaranteed to get all HP fans (who will watch it regardless of casting) but if the trailers/promotion isn't impeccable there will be a repeat of implying people who don't like it as bigoted.
It's also guaranteed not to have a 100% positive prerelease considering the horr1ible script and fanfic-tier story.
Not to mention Rowling has a bad habit of responding to trolls and posting shit on twitter.Can't deny that the UK remains the #1 exporter of unfiltered bants

Why are niggers so desperate to be white?
Shit all over shaft, want to play James Bonds instead
Shit all over Roots, want to star in white kids fucking wizard movies.
Shit all over your own BET awards. Beggs for an Oscar so they can be validated by whites.
Its almost as if these niggers hate themselves and are desperate to be validated by whites.

Why don't they adapt the much superior fanfiction, Hogwarts: School of Prayers and Miracles?

>>71992127
>Shit all over shaft, want to play James Bonds instead
Agreed senpai. There are thousands of black heroes, and black characters in fiction. There are literally a dozen nigger spies in fiction.
Yet Niggers only want to play white James Bonds, or Roland Deschain
Shows you alot about Nigger self esteem, and self worth.
>>71992249
This could actually only be an improvement.

>>71990577
It's not so preventing others from making it (WB and its successors will control Harry Potter for the next century just due to how long copyright lasts today) as indicating their intent to make it. Registering the trademark for film purposes is usually one of the first steps in development.
>>71991897
Sony is like Krabs hiring Pearl to manage.

You forgot to mention the part where Draco goes to Harry to get him to stop the rumors that Draco was cucked by Voldemort.
I doubt they can get Emma Watson back. She's a cunt.
>>71992573
It was such a Simba's Pride plot.
Hurr Duur, Voldermort had a secret daughter! This was never alluded to at all before, but it happened!

>>71992754
Of course, Kovu was in fact Scar's wife's son.
I just hope to god they wait until the right time and bring everyone back at the right age instead of forcing it with new meme actors. Say what you will about black hermione on the stage, but at least that's a different canon, changing her to black in the film canon would just be so jarring.
>>71992920
Yes, anon, lions have mothers and fathers! You see, it can be both Scar's son, and Scar's wife's son.
>>71993064
I'm saying they went out of their way to mention Scar was not the father, meaning he let in a bunch of bachelors to fuck his pride after his big scheme to take it over.
So I'm currently reading the books cus I never did as a kid.
And it really fucking pisses me off that Harry doesn't end up with Cho.
Like what the fuck?! Ginny?? In the fifth book Cho is so head over heels over Harry, while he got the biggest case of yellow fever I've ever seen. Fuck you J.K Rowling.
It was stupid how JK Rowling got drugged into that argument about whether or not Hermione was canonically white. That doesn't matter. In plays, unlike movies, it's much more about imagination, so, I mean, it's been like that for 500 years too. Girls playing boys, boys playing girls, crackers playing othello.
>>71993160
It was heavily criticized
Rowling even said it was a mistake and Harry should have been with Hermione instead.
>>71993160
he grew out of yellow fever
it happens to pretty much everyone
>>71990272
Turns out Auroring ain't easy and your son's a pussy. Marrying a ginger was Harry's biggest mistake in love and he drowns his sorrows in pumpkin juice every night.
>>71993157
Scar was the father. They even say that Kovu looks just like Scar.
>>71993270
Grown up Harry looks really fucking dangerous.
>>71993270
That actor they got for Harry is absolute perfection. Sucks that they seemed to cast Ginny based on Bonnie Wight instead of the redheaded athletic bombshell that she was in the books.
>>71992777
Hello boner my old friend.
>>71993160
What did you expect from the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises? Each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.
Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.
>a-at least the books were good though
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."
I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.
>>71993234
Which was fucking stupid of her to say. Dumb witch.
>>71993270
That Harry looks pretty fucking cool
>>71993064

>>71993302
They literally say he wasn't, senpai. First google of Kovu will say as much.
>>71993480
>Damn this butterbeer is so nasty I hate u so much ginny
>>71993305
he looks like dustin hoffman in strawdogs
Is their daughter played by Hannibal Burress?
This play is literal fanfiction. It's fucking awful.
>>71990272
I thought they made it non-canon, on account of the story being fucking atrocious?
>>71991879
>ruin Voldemort Day
>>71993634
To be fair, Kovu was supposed to be Scar's son. But they realize, late into production, that it also made him Kira's cousin and therefore the main love story was incest, so they half-assed an explanation Kovu was merely adoptive.
>>71990272
I recognize hermione and ron but who is the wife's daughter
>>71990272
Alan Rickman is fucking dead. There's no way it can happen now.
>>71994121
FOR VOLDEMORT AND VALOR!
>>71993634
He was chosen as Scar's heir because he probably had a ton of secret kids. When Kovu looks into that stupid water, he sees Scar, just like how Simba sees his father, Mufasa in the water.
>>71991879
Why the fuck would Umbridge be an out-and-out Voldemort supporter? You can't just lump all villains together like it's a fucking Saturday morning cartoon!
>>71993270
Not gonna lie, I'd fuck old Ginny before I'd fuck young Ginny.
But if it would mean pissing off Potter, hahaha fuck that. He's got the look of a stonecold motherfucker.
>>71991879
>Every girl at Hogwarts is hoping Scorpius—known as the Scorpion King—will ask them to the Blood Ball. The other kids do his homework.
>>71992127
>Shit all over your own BET awards. Begs for an Oscar so they can be validated by whites.
Pretty obvious.
Niggers want a pat on the head from their white masters to let them know they're good little niggers.
>>71992912
Alan Rickman's character actually died too
>>71991879
There's more where that came from:
>The adults race to Delphie’s room to try to discover who she is. In the room, concealed by a Parseltongue code, are more details of the prophesy—including the claim that she will bring her father back.
>This can only mean one thing: Voldemort had a daughter!
>Delphie tells Albus he is going back to the maze task at the Triwizard tournament, where he must stop Cedric winning—and humiliate him thoroughly, to ensure he becomes that angry young man again. She says she wants him to fly out of that maze naked on a broom of purple feathers.
>>71991879
This is comedy gold, what the hell is this?
>>71994556
Not in this
>>71991879
>>71994624
>She says she wants him to fly out of that maze naked on a broom of purple feathers.
Bravo, Rowling
>>71994665
What did she mean by this?

It's terrible.

>>71994661
What? I thought that was some shitty fanfic.
>>71994725
Let's take the cringeworthy fanfiction epilogue from the last book and the boring time travel shit from the third book and make an entirely new saga out of it. And Hermione is ugly and black now.
>>71994833
It's real.
>>71992394
i don't think there were a bunch of black guys lining up trying to be roland i think the studio handpicked elba based on his acting skills in previous roles
They created an entire reality just so they could indulge in a bunch of "le epic death scenes" with main characters? This is Doctor Who-tier.
>>71994725
>it’s exceptionally lonely being Draco Malfoy
>>71994725
>Harry says he sometimes wishes Albus wasn’t his son. Albus throws the blanket down on his bed, where it knocks over a bottle of love potion given to him by Ron.
Keeping love potions from Ron in your bed, huh, Harry? This IS fanfiction.

I don't mind the stages in the stage play, and I sort of would look forward to this, if only for the "Go Set a Watchman"-tier rage it creates with Harry Potter diehards, the new territory the story goes into, and the tasty memes that are born from this.
You all pretend you don't want this...you all do. It would be a great day to post on here when the reviews are in.
tbqh senpai imo harry should've ended up with luna who was prime waifu material
>>71995621

>>71994713
Source? I don't believe any of you that THIS is the plot...JK would never allow that.
>>71995641
tbhfam, he should have ended up with a random girl. Preferably one who's name dropped then forgotten about.
>>71995774
There's no way to know for sure until the script gets released at the end of the month.
But given that a lot of the insiders are saying "yeah, the plot is stupid but the production is amazing" I'm inclined to believe it's the real thing.
>>71995641
Truth
>>71995836
Except people have seen the play and told us the plot, you gibbering goobers. They're called reviewers. I haven't seen ghostbusters, but I know the plot of that too.
>>71993160

Ginny is a coalburner too
>>71995879

>I want Harry Potter fanboys to leave.
>>71996054
I'm not a "fanboy"...I just don't believe that these fanfiction links are the actual plot.

It really seems too stupid to be true.

>I don't believe these links people have provided for me.

Phew this shit is like an anime plot.

She's a Black Magic Woman...
>>71996349

There are literally dozens of fanfics on here with the same plot, that was written way before Cursed Child:

anon just took parts of the most popular and fucked about with his "leak".
>>71996646
heh
>>71996676
*time travel, alternate future, Scorpius goes to alternate future to and needs to change the past or whatever...the top five of these are all variations of that story.
It's a fanfic.
>>71996676
Just because you have a list of fanfictions about, Harry Potter, the most popular book series of all time, which happen to involve time travel, does not mean that multiple reviewers are lying.
>>71996756
The fanfics have literally the main themes of these bullshit leaks all together, and there are multiple stories:
-Scorpius travels to alterate future
-Voldemort day or celebration
-gotta save the past
-20 years after Deathly Hallows or some measure of time
Youd have to be retarded to think that this is a real plot from Warner Bros or JK Rowling
>>71996911
Okay. But where are the proofs?
Do you have proofs?
>>71996911
I agree that this has happened in several fanfictions, but that doesn't mean anything. It doesn't mean they cursed child can't use the same plotlines.
Notably, you had to cobble together several different fanfictions for your theory.
>>71996955
>Cursed child leak is literal fanfiction tier
>six different stories all have same exact plot
>all fanfiction
>>71997058
The fact that this exact plot has been written years ago...by a variety of different anons, just doesnt make this credible as a leak. It means any anon could have cobbled together different stories and pretended it was a leak
>>71997140
Except it's not Anon.
It's fucking journalists.
>>71997058
I didnt have to cobble that many together...there are two on that list that are exactly the same as the leak, minus two minor things
>>71997181
Then source that. Nobody has sourced any journalist... Just screencaps from pngs they screenprinted from fake shit that looks made up as shit

No there isn;t.

Nobody has come out and said this article id wrong. Not the actors, not JKR, not even fans that have seen it.

She’s gregarious and quick to laugh—so much more confident than the nervous Albus.
I fucking hate feminists.

TDB, WaPo, WSJ, and whatever's the top story on aggregates like Google News.

Besides your "liberal bias" buzzword that has exhaustingly been thrown around for literally everything short of absolute conservatism, one indicator of IF Daily Beast is credible or not is to cross reference their "facts" (of which they dont really deal with often, being an op site mostly) with other sites and maybr evrn using politifact to double check.
From everything I've seen, nothing on there has been accurately reported and the majority of the site is either clickbait bullshit, or opinion.
Not news...
>>71999274
oh wow

>By the start of the second year, Rose is already a brilliant, popular Quidditch chaser. She and Albus are barely on speaking terms. Scorpius seems to like Rose, but she teases and ignores him.
Sorry boys :^)
>>71999296
Daily Beast is news like Alex Jones is insightful NPR style social commentary
>>71999413
Yes, you have to avoid Arts/Culture, Entertainment, and Style to get to the meat, but that's why they have separate sections you uneducated fuck.
Let's see what the headlines are in their World News section.
>Truck Attack Kills 77 in France
>Horror in Nice on France's 4th of July (this one is an image gallery of the aftermath)
>Globalism: Not just for the Davos Set
>Russia Building a Nuclear Space Bomber
It's not a perfect news site, but it's real news, and they do a lot of good on the scene reporting, especially in politics.
This thread is so fucking weird. Why is one autist insisting that The Daily Beast is lying? There's no logical reason to think they're lying about some stupid play. Plus if they were lying then J.K. Rowling could sue them to death for slander.
>>71999405
No trap, I dont care enough for a trap.
Shoot though, I'm curious. Where does a fellow memer get his obviously credible and superior news that offers maximum fedora tippage? I know Daily Beast is primo news kino of course, but where does an intellectual like the two of us go to find the least bluepilled sauce we can find
>>71999592
Because anybody can write anything and jam it under an opinion tab and not get sued because its technically not a declaration of fact
>>71999327
Hermione was socially awkward, unlikable, and unable to cope with pressure in the books. She was a well-rounded character.
This Rose girl is literally described as brilliant and popular by someone trying to accurately describe the play. That's how heavy handed her mary sueness is.
Rowling has gone full tumblrtard.
>>71999659
That's not true, and it's even less true in the UK
>>71999620
I don't know, most of what I get these days is news media aggregates. Which isn't bad. If you're constantly reading all the various kinds of slants you can sort of find the truth somewhere in the middle.
Aside from that, I dunno. I still read my local city paper.
>>71999664
That is not how she was in the movies tho
If they do Cursed Child as a movie, they will tie it in to movieverse, not bookverse.
>>71999659
But it's not an opinion column, the guy says "this is what happens". Outright lying about the entire plot of the play could open them up to a big lawsuit and J.K. Rowling could hire the best lawyers in the world to fuck them in the ass. You're being a paranoid autist for no good reason.
>>71999680
Yes it most certainly is true. Eapecially here in the states, where the article site is from if I am correct.
Check out our copyright laws. They are both terrible and great, I can seriously write an entire paper and make shit up about celebrities and sell it under "opinion".
You do realize that this is already a thing that is protected by law, that happens right? You ever hear of the Enquirer?
>>71999341
And they're all badass because they each have flaws that make them human.
>>71999763

>>71999739
I don't think losers from England can just sue anyone in the world. They have to lie about you in the same country.
>>71999695
Ok well for the time being its only a play written by Rowling herself so it should be compared to the writing of books
>>71993945
So fucking dangerous.
>>71999739
>you think a lawyer would be able to make a case against a false opinion story and win for...what? Libel?
If you were right, Enquirer would be sued every week. But they arent, because you are protected by law in most cases to take creative license and use that to defend yourself even if its a blatant lie. You can gey away scot free lying to your readers and safely burying it in op ed

Is that because it's so above this shitty list?

There's literally a section on wikipedia about notable Enquirer lawsuits, including the ones they lost. Not to mention, many of the cases they won was because they were ruled not to be a real newspaper under the law, which would not apply to The Daily Beast.

Just ignore the stupid fucker. Instead of mocking him we should be mocking The Cursed Child's hilariously awful plot. Rowling was never a good writer but with this shit she has gone full hack.

Nothing really "substantial", true, but if you actually read the thread there are quite a few people who have claimed to see it and verif the article. These are posters with 1 and 2 year old accounts and mountains of carefully horded reddit karma who clearly didn't just register yesterday to troll some HP fanboys.
BTW, thru reading this shit I learned that the new book coming out "based" on the play is just a worthless shill product that contains literally the script of the play and nothing more. Just dialogue and stage directions. So if you were worried about spoiling a new HP "book" for youself, don't be.

>You'll all see when the script book is released!
That is admitting that you have no evidence in your possession currently, so your opinion is trash.
Will there be outrage if they whitewash hermoine?
I can't get over how bad this is. It's fan-fiction. No exaggeration, it is fan-fiction tier awful. It has everything, most egregious of all fucking time travel. Rowling made a point of destroying the time-turners in the fifth book - I ASSUME she did this because she knew time travel was bullshit and made a point that she would never do it again.
This is Prequels level bad. I am genuinely shocked.

>>72000923
>This is indescribably bad.
You're completely right. I just can't even imagine the thought process behind this shit. I genuinely am having a hard time believing this is a real story.
It reminded me more of My Immortal than the actual book series.
>>72000975
I guarantee you at some point in the play she snaps and says "[something like: 'Take this'], MOTHAFUCKA!" and the whole audience explodes into applause every time it happens
>>72000754
Then why aren't there anyone else posting the actual script/plot? This is the internet, the internet isn't known for keep secrets, especially when it comes to plots of stories from a major franchise. Yes, I do agree that it's not exactly the most accurate/credible when the sole detailed source is one single website and that normally, it's a sure sign that it's fake.
But in this particular case, if it's not true, you'd think that the people who have actually gone to the play would provide contrary details. This isn't some unknown play so you can get by with saying that too few people have watched it enough to care. It's Harry Potter; good or bad, it's even weird that there's no other versions of the story if it's indeed fake.
>>72000910
No one here is shilling for the play, okay? We're not paid to advertise things, and you can just tell, because no advertiser would do something like this.

>>72001437
Actually, there's specific wordings that imply that she's white, plus, this fucking drawing Rowling did in 1999
>>72001550
She can just change her mind. It's not like she's real, or her color matters to the plot. She's even made statements like "yeah, I should have made her black"
>>72001573
>She can just change her mind.
She can't change what's been written in the series though. She can claim whatever she wants to please sjws but the books explicitly imply she's white, and the drawings Rowling did of the series have Hermione as white. For fucks sake, Hermione is basically Rowling's insert, she's said as much before.
>>72001389
I don't "give a shit" like /pol/ gives a shit I just thought it was very strange, forced, and unnecessary: all things which turn out to be the running theme for this ridiculous play

>>72001762

>>72001835
She's white, and her drawings/drawings she approves of portray Hermione as white. Perhaps, just maybe, she's white?

>>72001796
>muh /pol/ boogeyman

>>72001854

>>72001920
Not every mention of /pol/ is a /pol/ boogeyman.
>>72001762
every black character in the book explicity states that they are black. None of the white characters state that they are white because its implied they are all white unless otherwise stated.
Your argument could be applied to all the other characters in the book including Harry himself.
Are you going to start going on about Harry being black now just because it doesnt say he isnt?
The only reason JK has said "Hermoine could be black" was because fans pester the living fuck out of her.
They did the same thing fags did about Dumbledore begging for him to be gay too, just so they could feel some kind of gay special connection to the childrens books they love.
>>72001916
To be fair, this one instance could mean "afraid" white, like a colloquialism..not a physical description.
Just to play devil's advocate here.
>>72001981
But still, none of that is wrong to do. It effects nobody.

Then why does this thread exist if it AFFECTS no one? Why do any of the media coverage and outcry from both sides exists?
you're ignorant.
>>72001916
Perhaps, just maybe, she's black, if Rowling approves? If they changed an actually serious aspect of her character then it would matter, but you can have a black frumpy nerd girl as much as you can have a white one

I did not use the word incorrectly.
>>72002010
When has that ever been used when describing a person of color?
>>72002184
That wasn't the point...the point I was making is that you could read that as white with fear, colorless, "her face went white"...you know, not literally white. It would seem a weird placement to all of a sudden have a sentence dedicated to her actual face skin color...it is more likely supposed to be read as a word for "concerned", "fearful", "worried"...and so on.
>>72002031

You care by bitching about it, anon. You keep saying you don't care but then say shit like "let me tell you why it's objectively stupid"
It's not stupid, it's not anything. It's literally nothing.

>>72002292
Changing the physical appearance of an established character, for one, as already established, is not trivial. Two, that was the first post I made. Three, it is stupid. You don't seem to understand how artistic integrity and fan perception of art work. Again, if you can't understand why people think it's stupid, there's no helping you. All you're saying is "quit whining" when I'm sure you'd be just as upset if something canonical about a piece of art you are invested in was retconned or the creator supported a retarded change or ambiguity.
>>72002385
Well, she gave her seal of approval for the drawings in the illustrated editions of the books coming out(art by Jim Kay). And, what do you know, Hermione is white.
>>72002353
>It's her canon, not yours
Yes, I totally thought I was the creator here for a second, thanks for the reminder. Your point is irrelevant, and calling me a "sperg" doesn't help your credibility.
>>72002419
This is autistic in so many ways:
>Changing the physical appearance of an established character, for one, as already established, is not trivial.
Yes, it is trivial. You haven't really explained why it is objectively NOT trivial. You are just projecting muh feels onto your fictional character you are super salty about.
>Three, it is stupid. You don't seem to understand how artistic integrity and fan perception of art work
This comes off as some entitled horsecock, JK doesn't owe it to any of you do do jack shit one way or the other. That has nothing to do with what you perceive as "integrity", just because you disagree with the fucking creator. She could come out tomorrow and say Harry is a transgender jewish woman and wave her hand and its canon and there is fuck all you can do about it, faggot. The fan perception isn't a rubric for what an artist does and does not get to DO with her work. You can think it's stupid, but you are wasting your energy sperging out about "le integrity" because Hermoine is canonically black now. If you seriously believe an artist doesn't have creative control over his/her own work and has to go get approval by the sperg board before she does anything, than you are an absolute faggot.
>All you're saying is "quit whining" when I'm sure you'd be just as upset if something canonical about a piece of art you are invested in was retconned or the creator supported a retarded change or ambiguity.
Yes, stop being a whiney motherfucker and just deal with it. It ultimately is an entirely subjective decision with no objective basis in anything...so to worry about it, spend time with worrying and give more than a small reserved shit, you are a sperglord.
Sorry you had to find out this way.

Well, fuck, that just makes it more confusing because she's clearly a man in that picture.

>"But when Harry arrived downstairs ten minutes later, fully dressed and carrying his empty breakfast tray, it was to find Hermione sitting at the kitchen table in great agitation, while Mrs Weasley tried to lessen her resemblance to half a panda."
>>72002629
lol this oddly doesn't help.
>>72002439
Again, JK can just change it...
>>72002629
WHICH HALF OF A PANDA IS SHE
>>72002649
Have you ever seen a panda? White fur, black circle around the eyes.

AGAIN, JK CAN JUST CHANGE IT LATER.
>>72002742
She can't change what's written anon.

Because...?

Not an argument
>You haven't really explained
Artistic integrity and fan perception. Again, if you don't understand why people don't like it, there's no helping you. Subjectivity isn't the point, nor is the fact that the creator says all. You're completely ignoring the point to argue the useless logic of "lol subjective, stop whining".
>JK doesn't owe it
Never said she did
>stop being a whiney motherfucker
Take your own advice
Again, you'd be upset if it were relevant to you, and you wouldn't be arguing subjectivity where it doesn't matter. You also seem to be dead set on thinking I'm someone you've been bitching at for hours when I'm not. I only pointed out your idiocy in assuming a ridiculous change doesn't matter to anyone.
>>72002797
It's already been written. Millions of copies.
Her drawings depict Hermione as white.
Drawings she gives her approval of depict her as white.
The books imply she's white, and when characters of color are described their race is mentioned.
vs
On twitter she says some stuff to sate retards
>>72002742
And again, not the point. "Oh nothing matters it can just be changed you're stupid for being upset" is a stupid argument that refuses to take into account anything actually relevant to artistic work.
>>72002623
>>72002847
And before you spout more "you're not actually explaining" shit, see >>72002991
Artistic integrity, canon, and fan perception are important to the art world, and to the idea of a created narrative with established lore. To just say "stop whining" about a retcon is to ignore everything relevant to the art world and fan perception.

>He couldn’t draw them[child models] all the time, though. He couldn’t even get any of them to sit for long enough to draw them from life – that, he reasoned, was too much to ask of children. So he took photographs of them, in the positions he needed according to his preparatory sketches, and altered their features to fit Rowling’s descriptions.
