SHOCKING NEWS: J.K. ROWLING PULLS $150 MILLION FROM HBO OVER ‘BLACK SNAPE’ CASTING DECISION
Sources claim Rowling confronted Mylod directly, ending their exchange with an icy farewell: “You’ve made your choice. Goodbye.”
Within a day, her legal representatives confirmed the total withdrawal of her funding — money that had been earmarked for production, global marketing, and special effects.
The fallout has reportedly thrown HBO’s production team into chaos. Senior executives are said to be scrambling to stabilize the project, with some department heads allegedly admitting in private, “We’ll regret this for the rest of our lives.”
The public response has been equally volatile. Supporters hail Rowling for defending the integrity of her characters, while critics accuse her of racial bias and stifling creative evolution.
HBO has yet to issue an official statement, leaving the future of the reboot uncertain. Whether the studio moves forward without Rowling’s backing — or whether the project collapses altogether — remains to be seen.
What is clear is that the world of Harry Potter has just collided with the hard realities of Hollywood politics, and the spell may be broken for good.
