Despite the world largely moving on from debates about the merits and downsides of a Hogwarts Legacy purchase, J.K. Rowling remains at the forefront of conversations.

That’s largely due to the official arrival of the Harry Potter author’s new podcast, The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. The podcast digs into Rowling’s history, the development of the Harry Potter story, and the backlash she’s experienced over the years. As it continues to pull in listeners, people are once again dissecting the transphobic statements Rowling has made in the past, but some are getting hit with legal pushback. 

It’s not a great day for fantasy fans, but news is sure to improve in the coming weeks, as we look ahead to season two of Shadow and Bone and the theatrical release of Honor Among Thieves. In the meantime, we’ll have to square our shoulders and deal with reports of a longer than expected wait for season two of House of the Dragon. To top it off, despite a continued string of wins, the campaign to save Netflix’s Warrior Nun doesn’t appear to be gaining ground.

Simon Barry, the show runner behind Warrior Nun, is doing everything in his power to keep the movement going. He’s been hard at work dropping rewards for the horde of loyal fans demanding Warrior Nun’s return, and once again delighted viewers with a selection of behind-the-scenes shots of fan-favorite cast members and moment’s from the show.

In the wake of broad Hogwarts Legacy backlash, J.K. Rowling is hitting everyone she can with legal pushback. She’s going after people who aired her transphobic sentiments for the world to see, and forcing them to apologize or face lawsuits. BBC was added to the list this week, after Rowling’s legal pushback forced the broadcaster to apologize for commentary provided by transgender writer and broadcaster Carrie Marshall.

House of the Dragon won’t be returning any time soon

One of the higher ups at HBO has bad news for anyone expecting a quick turnaround between House of the Dragon’s first and second seasons. The popular Game of Thrones spin-off isn’t set to return until summer 2024, at the earliest, which leaves fans with more than a year to wait.
