Not a chance. She created the franchise in the first place and for a lot of good reasons, won’t reliquish it until after her passing.

Nope - despite her wokeness, she still believes men are men and women are women and had the nerve to say so publicly, and thus, she had to be destroyed. There is no such thing as being “woke enough.”

And if she relinquishes control they will destroy her universe and fill it with real monsters. And kill it even further than their rabid little minds could even imagine.

Meticulous plotting?! Yeah I don’t think so. And the Fantastic Beasts made a ton of money. Not necessarily great movies, but it is a business.

Much like Lucas created a beloved series from the ground up in Star Wars, then proceeded to leave the stagnant franchise shortly after the release of the prequel trilogy in 2005,

What a terrible comparison. The stodgy prequels were masterpieces compared to the Disney Star Wars dreck.

Popularly disliked in the modern zeitgeist, Rowling no longer holds the cultural weight she once did, with many disregarding her opinion and stance, unwilling to support the views and work of a ‘transphobe’.

This is one queer's opinion. certainly not a statement of fact.

Johnny Depp was kicked from the production of the second film in the series The Secrets of Dumbledore in November 2020 due to her ongoing lawsuit with Amber Heard

Johnny Depp is now a "her"?! These freaks are relentless.

Don't give 'em ideas.

#2: "She wasn't homo enough?"

Evidently not. She made the hateful comment that women are not born with penises. If you are born with a penis, you are a man. How hateful can a person be with all the venom circulating inside? Sacré bleu!

Yep, this always gets me. She is said to be quite liberal on “gay” issues and various other social issues. But for not being on board with every last aspect of all this “transsexual” ideology, she has been targeted for destruction.

Maybe the third movie is flopping because people feel Johnny Depp was ill used?

The beauty of a most free society is that when you create something….you don’t HAVE to do nothing with it.

She should tell these people to pound sand.

That isn’t going to happen, she created it and it’s hers. His logic is terribly flawed. Disney acquiring Lucas has pretty much killed the Star Wars Franchise in many ways. I suppose he would like Disney to buy it.

It’s her intellectual (or lack thereof) property. This article stinks of manipulation. Replace Rowling’s name with any other popular author and ask if this tripe makes any sense.
