I mean look there are situations - plenty of them - where authors sell off their IP for a lump sum and don't get any further money even if the adaptation is a huge hit This happens if they're randos with no clout and is one of those shitty bad luck things

This does not describe JK Rowling She became a billionaire precisely because she would not settle for a bad deal like that on anything She makes money from EVERY Harry Potter thing, from all the merch and the tickets to the theme park and whatnot

I’ve seen a bunch of disagreeing reports, about whether she does/doesn’t get any royalties from this thing, but imo that’s totally irrelevant — if this is a smash success she’ll clearly get more $ for the next project, if this flops it’s less likely there’s another project. Fin.

Someday, something will be the last HP-based project. Seems pretty unlikely that thing will be the first HP flop - it’s big enough now that there will have to be multiple flops. Something has to be the first flop. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I love Harry Potter (even if it gets me made fun of) but I can't in good conscious support any of JKRs new projects. Think I'll just replay Dragon Age instead and Skyrim instead.
