I'm ITK of very little

Everyone is moaning about Snape... Let's just wait until we see how they've butchered Dobby 🤣 #harrypotter

HBO is spending $100 million per episode to reboot Harry Potter. That’s more per episode than the average Harry Potter film cost to produce. Seven seasons. 56 episodes. A potential $5.6 billion total production budget. Paapa Essiedu signed a 10-year contract for this role. He’ll be 45 when it’s finished. He’s receiving death threats on Instagram. People telling him to quit or they’ll kill him. His response: “The abuse fuels me.” Here’s what the people sending those messages don’t understand about how this actually works. The original eight Harry Potter films grossed $7.7 billion at the box office on a combined $1.2 billion production budget. That’s a 6.4x return before merchandising, theme parks, and streaming revenue. Warner Bros. is spending $100M per episode because the Wizarding World generates roughly $2 billion per year across all revenue streams, and they need a new content engine to keep that machine running for the next decade. Essiedu was one of the first actors attached to this project. Emmy and BAFTA nominee from I May Destroy You. Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy across all eight films, called the backlash what it is: racism. The casting controversy has generated more press coverage for this show than any marketing campaign could buy. Every article about the death threats includes the trailer link. Every outrage tweet puts the show back in people’s timelines. 13M views on this single tweet are proof. Warner Bros. has run this playbook before. The internet raged when Heath Ledger was cast as the Joker. When Daniel Craig was cast as Bond. When Michael Keaton was cast as Batman. Each of those performances became the definitive version of the character. Essiedu grew up reading these books at a local library because his mom couldn’t afford a babysitter. Now he’s anchoring the most expensive TV series ever produced. The people threatening him over Instagram DMs are going to watch the show anyway. That’s the part they’ll never admit.

The Portman Road refurbishment is a bit on the nose

Don't give a fuck about Black Snape.. what I do care about is making the Americans call it the philosopher's stone.. 30ish years too late #harrypotter

It'll be really funny if after a day of waiting it's just a 5 sec video #harrypotter

@WW_Direct If they don't do it at 2145 then they've let themselves down

HBO deciding to release the teaser for the HARRY POTTER TV series at 11.59 pm

Got a lovely welcome from the team at Ipswich Town. #ITFC

@AlfieHouseEcho 🤣

@edsheeran being a right wing fascist wasn't on my bingo card

Still not bored of this 🫶 #saintsfc

Doing exactly what Downs was brought into to do #saintsfc

@AlfieHouseEcho Love a bit of shithousery

Has to be 2m away, apparently Oxford have complained. #SaintsFC

Got the measuring tape out! 🤣 #SaintsFC

@L1minus10 If we had walked the league then maybe there's something there, but we've been naff for half the season

The continual references we get to parachute budgets really irritate me. We earned it by being relatively well run and being in the Premier League quite a bit. #saintsfc

These must be prime Neuer to keep Peretz from starting 🤣 #saintsfc

Wonder what conspiracy he's said to piss this guy off? Wrong answers only 🤣 #saintsfc

DANNY P. 😍 #SaintsFC

Just tried looking at Daniel Peretz odds to win the Ballon d’Or, but he’s not on there. Can only assume it’s a mistake? #SaintsFC

i love it when i stump the IT guy. haha you thought this would be a quick ticket. just remote in, click one button, and make me look like a fool. but alas, i have fucked things up more than you could've imagined

@AIexSFC @SouthamptonFC That is nearly half their stadium right 😉🤣
