Rowling Returns: Will HBO’s Harry Potter Resist the Woke Reboot Trend?

After years of fantasy franchises bending to corporate agendas and activist storytelling, HBO promises a faithful adaptation of Harry Potter.

J.K. Rowling has creative control — but will the studio let her vision stand, or twist it to fit modern trends?

Scott Preiss from A Spork of Ice and Fire dives deep into:

How major reboots (Rings of Power, The Witcher, Wheel of Time) lost their way

The rise of “replacement heroes” and story rewrites

Why fans fear the Harry Potter reboot might repeat history

And how Rowling’s return could save the Wizarding World

This episode is for everyone tired of corporate storytelling and ready for authentic worldbuilding again.
