Harry Potter TV Series Announced, JK Rowling to Executive Produce
The first Harry Potter television series is set to be made, with author JK Rowling acting as an executive producer. Rowling has recently faced accusations of transphobia for putting an emphasis on biological sex over gender identity in comments about trans women. Warner Bros. Discovery said the series will be "a faithful adaptation" of Rowling's mega-selling books. The announcement confirms recent speculation that an episode-based show on the magical world of Hogwarts was in the works.
