HBO's HARRY POTTER Series Finds Its Harry, Ron and Hermione
https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/tv/tv-news/hbo-harry-potter-series-hermione-ron-weasley-actors-1236230730/
This time, Dominic McLaughlin will play Harry Potter, Arabella Stanton
is Hermione Granger and Alastair Stout is the new Ron Weasley. In the
films, those roles were played by Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and
Rupert Grint, respectively.
There were eight Harry Potter films and a
series of three Fantastic Beasts movies-- a spinoff of the original IP. Author J.K. Rowling wrote seven Harry Potter books; the eighth book in
the series was split into two movies.

I still think it's lame to just be remaking the books that have already been made into movies. It's not even like these movies were made 50 years ago or something and there might be an argument that updating the SFX would enhance the experience. The movies are recent enough that the visual effects are more than sufficient.
And of course they seem to have race-swapped Hermione, but that's pretty much par for the course these days.
(I got to interview the original Hermione when she flew into LAX for an awards
show. She had a stalker who was not only threatening her, but had started threatening Obama as well, so we intercepted Emma Watson at LAX and talked to her to both let her know the guy was in town and to see if she had any info on
him that we didn't.)

The last sentence makes no sense. It says Rowling wrote seven books. Then it says the eighth book was split into two movies. So were there seven books or eight books?

I stared at that for a moment as well. At first, I thought maybe she didn’t write the last book but then I realized what they were trying to say
(poorly) was that there are seven books (written by her) but eight movies because they made two movies out of book number seven.

There was also the sequel stage play, which was co-authored by Rowling (although how much she actually wrote is a different question, probably
more like oversaw and 'corrected' the other writers' material). This
stage play had a black actress playing the role of Hermione.

The way that read to me was that there were eight books but only seven written by Rowling. That's likely not what was meant but the sentence structure doesn't make that clear. Hell, another reading is that there
were only two movies made, each based off the eighth book. So the
first seven books were never made into movies.

I find it amusing that people are literally screaming SHE’S BLACK when I hardly see any definitive evidence of that. She is at most swarthy if you’re still allowed to say that, I guess they’d feel silly screaming SHE’S
OF COLOR!

Is it a "use it or lose it" scenario?

I am told this could bite them in the arse.

Is this before she and her costars became groomers and ingrates?

I have no idea. She was perfectly pleasant and polite when I talked to her >but it was before all the controversy with Rowling and the troons.
