You would think the producers would MANDATE that Pettigrew be played by a white, hetero, cis-gender, male!

Even if Rowling has sold the intellectual rights to Harry Potter to the studio (which I suspect she has) she still could have grounds to sue on basis of damage to her original concept.
Monty Python successfully sued a TV network that wanted to intersperse commercials when airing episode of MP's Flying Circus. The network owned the complete series outright but John Cleese (who was educated as a barrister) argued -- successfully -- that each episode was a work of art to itself, and the contiguity of an individual episode was intrinsic to its artistic value.
Rowling might well argue that the atmosphere of the Hogwarts ecosystem is based on a number of precise premises she established in its creation, including the strictly binary nature of all its characters.
Given that Woke Hollywood deems casting an actress (i.e., a biological woman) to play a male-to-female transgenderto be “transphobic” (or perhaps it’s “cultural appropriation”; it’s hard to tell why they get their panties tied in a bunch), how could they cast an actor (i.e., a biological male) to play a biological female? If the character gave birth to Harry Potter, then the character is a woman, full stop, and the new Woke rules require that only actors with the exact traits as the character they are to play may be cast for a movie or TV show.
Ahh, I had not thought of that!
Because I didn’t know what it was. I had to look it up.
I am not that big a fan of Harry Potter.
I don’t know if the potion actually would change the gender of the person and maybe only the appearance.
Regardless the effect is only temporary.
I don’t think the Trans people are interested in temporary.
Well, in the Goblet of Fire, a death eater captured Mad-Eye Moody the legendary Auror (cop), and disguised himself as him with Poly-Juice, and kept taking a swig from a flask of it, which everybody allowed was just ol’ Mad-eye being paranoid. But really, the impostor was maintaining his appearance. So, assuming Poly-juice can change one’s gender, the tranny would have to just maintain apppearances, get shagged regularly until she/he is pregnant, and then keep it up for nine months. The couple could both be gender-changed through Poly-juice, her as a he and he as a her. It would be seriesly weird, and small wonder that JK Rowling didn’t go for that crap.

It’s ok to that, just like it would be fine to make James Bond black but not make Shaft white.
