There have been mixed reactions to the announcement of the Harry Potter series by HBO with a whole new cast. Now, the original author J.K. Rowling has stepped in to lend her support to the HBO series. As the series nears a production start date, J.K. Rowling took to her X to give the series her full-blown support while reviewing the first two episodes.
She confirmed that she’s “worked closely with the extremely talented writers” on the show, although she will not be getting any writing credits herself like she has on the ‘Fantastic Beasts’ movies, reports ‘Variety’.
Rowling wrote on her X, “I read the first two episodes of the forthcoming HBO ‘Harry Potter’ series and they are SO, SO, SO GOOD (sic)”.
