I think it was a mistake to not just do more Harry Potter (like as a brand thing) however that would manifest but maybe even J.K realized that by the end of the series he's a sauceless loser and not a character people would keep reading about

It's so frustrating how true this is... with Rowling as the writer. You could make a Wizard-Cop Nazi Hunter story that is absolutely amazing, but obviously Rowling can't lmao

Should've just done more Hogwarts. Had the recipe for an easy cashgrab with "magical school" and you can even dream of continuing it a la Doctor Who by rotating the cast every 7 years. People love magical misfits and "magic school" is such an easy genre to write if you've got a captive audience of millenials that will watch any half-decent potterslop.
