Harry Potter is a cult classic, with its mega successful franchise of 8 movies, spinoffs, and even video games that back then, minted money in Billions.
Fans are super excited for the upcoming TV series, but the makers and cast have been facing backlash over JK Rowling’s thoughts on the transgender community. Now, finally after a lot of buzz, Chris Columbus has confirmed that a reunion of the original cast is ‘never going to happen’ due to JK Rowling’s comments.
No Reunion Of Harry Potter Original Cast, Confirms Director
Talking to The Times UK, Chris said, “It’s never going to happen. It’s gotten so complicated with all the political stuff. Everyone in the cast has their own opinion, which is different from her opinion, which makes it impossible.”
Columbus, who helmed 2001’s Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone and 2002’s Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, has previously publicly said he disagrees with JK Rowling’s controversial views on transgender. He further added, “I haven’t spoken to Miss Rowling in a decade or so, so I have no idea what’s going on with her.”
