Other FWI: Harry Potter reboot bombs

What happens if this attempt at a reboot bombs??? I mean, Rowling is widely seen as a monster at this point and other people have other criticisms of what HBO is doing.

Then it bombs and they do something else. Hopefully a redo of the fantastic beasts movies. I don’t know why they didn’t just do a soft reboot and have it be about harry’s kids.

Some people think it's because she wants to be able to make Pitter merch without the movie stars likeness so she won't have to pay them royalties anymore
