Star Trek actor Wil Wheaton has made his stance on the HBO Harry Potter TV show very clear amid JK Rowling’s involvement.

Yup. Fuck that show. I won't watch it, and I have HBO as well as a history of watching every Harry Potter movie to date.

    Not even going to pirate it. The entire franchise has become poisonous to me. I don't begrudge anyone for still having fond memories of the series, but it's really and truly completely ruined for me.

    I won't watch it either. Sure, I've never seen or read a single Harry Potter book, nor do I have HBO ..in fact I don't even think it exists in NZ, but still, its the principle, right?

    According to wikipedia, HBO Max was launched in NZ in June this year. And I too am boycotting all of the TV series and streaming services that I have no interest in watching.
