\n\t\u201cThe decision to be in business with J.K. Rowling is not new for us,\u201d stated Bloys on The Town with Matthew Belloni<\/em> podcast. \u201cWe\u2019ve been in business for 25 years. We already have a show on HBO from her called C.B. Strike that we do with the BBC.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, \u201cIt\u2019s pretty clear that those are her personal, political views. She\u2019s entitled to them. Harry Potter<\/em> is not secretly being infused with anything. If you want to debate her, you can go on Twitter.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tDeadline beforehand reported Rowling was a part of the pitch course of<\/a> for the Warner Bros. Television sequence, which she’s going to produce by way of her Bront\u00eb Film and TV banner.

\n\tExplaining that the controversy round Rowling\u2019s anti-trans statements is \u201cvery nuanced and complicated,\u201d Bloys added: \u201cOur priority is what\u2019s on the screen. Obviously, the Harry Potter<\/em> story is incredibly affirmative and positive and about love and self-acceptance. That\u2019s our priority \u2014 what\u2019s on screen.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Rowling beforehand celebrated UK\u2019s Supreme Court ruling<\/a> that prohibits trans ladies from being legally acknowledged as ladies, greater than 400 individuals signed a letter<\/a> urging the nation\u2019s movie and tv business to take motion towards her on trans rights.
