    I for one thing the merger is a great idea. Why shouldn’t the company famous for cancelling shows after one season merge with the company famous for burying completed movies for a tax write-off?

        Regardless of what JK Rowling is Harry Potter is a international sensation. It’s insane that they’re trying to remake it when it’s what less than 20 years old.

        There’s plenty of good IP out there why don’t they make something of that.

          It’s not that insane considering the target audience are children and teenagers. People who are 14 years old now weren’t even born yet by the time Deathly Hallows part 2 came out, and I bet they’d rather watch a remake than their parent’s old DVDs.

          Maybe, but the combination of backlash against Rowling herself with the fact that it’s being remade so soon, which may create a “this isn’t my Harry Potter” type effect, may mean this isn’t as successful as they’re hoping.
