J.K. Rowling's Team Gives Reason Why She Didn't Join the Harry Potter 20th Anniversary Reunion

J.K. Rowling created the Harry Potter series but has seen been known online for her transphobic remarks and controversial blog posts, which have turned many fans away from the series at large. So, heading into the Harry Potter reunion special, Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts, fans want to know: Will we see Rowling in the special? The answer? Uh...sort of?

According to Entertainment Weekly, Rowling's people declined the invitation for the author to join the special, which will include many members of the cast and crew as they share memories about filming the eight movies and the series as a whole. Rowling will, however, appear in the special through archival footage from 2019, which her team determined was sufficient for the special.

COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Watching the teasers and trailers for the reunion special has been bittersweet for fans. For many of us, we grew up reading the books and watching the movies, and it feels strange to not be excited about seeing the cast come back together to discuss the magical series, due to Rowling's continual controversy online.

The younger cast of Harry Potter will also be joined by Ralph Fiennes, Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, and filmmakers Chris Columbus, Alfonso Cuarón, Mike Newell, and David Yates. Return to Hogwarts is airing on HBO Max on New Year's Day and we will get to see the Golden Trio of Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint together once again.

The whiny cast members have treated Rowling shabbily, especially after she made their careers. They are the ones who deserve to be cancelled for their selfish back stabbing

Oh can she just go away? No one cares about that TERF she should be Saccharin drivel. JKR should be there. Removing her is “woke”nonsense trying to pass fiction as fact. As an aside I have no interest in HP films at all.
