I don't understand why they'd want a female Voldemort though... the character is a male :confused:

If JK wasn't an evil pig I think it's a fun concept, I would probably cast her as Bellatrix instead though.

^^^THIS!!!

I would love Gaga as Bellatrix but don’t think she should associate with JKR.

Side Note: I will say I absolutely love the Wizarding World and will be tuning in, even if I hate the views of JKR.  If working in Hollywood teaches you anything, it’s that sometimes you need to separate the art from the artist.  While I completely respect those who will not be tuning in, can we please avoid diminishing the hard work that thousands of people are putting into this series?

Just the thought of Gaga being associated with anything JK Rowling makes my stomach turn.

It's hard to light a candle, easy to curse the dark instead.

No. Supporting this serie DIRECTLY funds anti trans organisations.

I can't believe we're still reading "we need to separate the art from the artist" in 2025, on a LADY GAGA FORUM of all places. I can't fathom being at peace with giving money for making trans people's life even more difficult than it is just because you want to watch a show. 

Harry Potter was my world growing up, had the books, seen the movies multiple times, went to King's Cross in London, bought merch, read countless fanfictions etc etc. So I understand the love for the franchise, I do. But I'm sorry, trans rights and lifes will always be more important. It's obviously your right to watch it, but don't ask us to separate the art from the artist when it has real life consequences. The real question here is "are people watching ok with directly funding transphobia?"

I'm glad to see most of us aren't.

She'll never acknowledge the existence of Rowling lmao :madge:

I was an obsessed HP fan growing up, but people need to stop giving that series any attention for obvious reasons. 

Is there some reason my LG7 isn't here? Has she died or something?

JK Rowling drama aside, this would be a terrible decision for Gaga’s acting career. It would backfire much more than her Harley Quinn role. 
 

Things like this annoy the hell out of me. Why change a character just to seem “woke”? 
Why can’t they try creating new ideas and characters instead of changing things that have a massive following.
 

I was already on the fence about  Paapa Essiedu Being cast at Snape, simply because it changes the narrative and the whole bullying thing will seem to be about race. Hopefully that won’t come into it and Paapa will do a great job.

JK Rowling is transphobic, I'd be surprised to see Gaga auditioning

+ I think this show will flop, people are mad againt JK and old school fans will be highly critical

Don't even put it out to the universe as a joke 😭

 

She needs to stay far away as possible from the franchise that makes that horrible woman rich

Has always been aggressively mid and Rowling’s rhetoric makes it even worse 

We have forgotten our public MANNERS
