Considering the apparent input JKR has has had in each and every movie so far,
I don't think you can excuse her from complicity, particularly in the latest
'travesty'. And she gets a good cut from the movies+merchandise too. She isn't
the innocent bystander at all. Having said that, the movies have their place.
Yes it's a milk, what did you expect from this culture? The fans are just as
complicit, they watch the movies, buy the DVDs and the merchandise. I
personally cannot stand Harry Potter Lego, but I know adults who collect it.
One shrugs ones shoulders and waits for the next installment.
