Instead of slinking off into obscurity in the wake of broad pushback against her transphobic views, Rowling is once again thrusting herself into conversations via a new podcast titled The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling. The fresh podcast digs into the controversy surrounding Rowling and the Harry Potter universe, and sees the once-popular author claim that she’s unconcerned by the thought of tarnishing her legacy.

Exhausted by the ongoing drama surrounding Rowling and her properties, most fantasy fans are turning their attention to less controversial topics. A trailer for season two of Shadow and Bone is catching broad attention, as fans celebrate the arrival of a highly-anticipated character, and largely ignore the presence of another, and news that The Kingdom of Ruin will get an anime adaptation is just the balm hurting Harry Potter fans need.

In early episodes of The Witch Trials of J.K. Rowling, the Harry Potter author claimed she doesn’t spend any time concerning herself over her legacy. She informed listeners that her thoughts on the LGBTQ+ community have been “misunderstood,” and claimed that she’s concerned with the “now” far more than how she’ll be remembered.

It’s a hard time to be Nikolai Lantsov. Despite the character’s broad popularity, he’s barely a thought in fans’ minds as a far more sought-after character overtakes conversations. In the wake of a fresh season two trailer, fans are obsessing over Wylan, a fresh addition to the Crow’s lineup, and largely forgetting about the incoming Ravkan prince.
