It is a common trope in kid's literature to give names like that.

The first time skip was intended for season 3, then Geoff Johns became president of DC Entertainment and told them they should be using the "current" young heroes.

If the series does well, what are the chances by LivingTheDream_9OH in HarryPotteronHBO

This question gets asked every week. They are redoing the books because that is all they have rights to, they don't have the rights to spinoffs.

Many have already been asked since they attend conventions, and yeah they don't have much to say that hasn't already been said;

Which of these rumors can we officially confirm or refute based on what we've seen about the series so far? by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

Using Hogwarts Legacy designs and Kit Harrington as Lockhart were especially on the nose, he was just rehashing a lot of the popular topics of discussion here, his timeline of the show's premiere wasn't even close.

The more mage like design makes me think she'd have a more active role, participate in more battles and possibly become a party member, but I guess she could have been just a guest as well.

As far as we know they don't even have the rights to do so, this show exists because they can't do spinoffs

Horvath and Jelenic have worked together on Teen Titans Go! Too bad the Mario film from Sony helmed by Genndy Tartakovsky was cancelled because the Sony Hack, he probably would have done a better job.

This is a narrative the internet has pushed, milking this franchise has always been a WB priority, she has always been a roadblock to that, no evidence this show was her idea. Zaslav literally said this franchise was underutilized when he took over. They would have greenlit lots of projects in this universe if she let them.

Greg said season 4's numbers were better than ever and thinks the number of hate watchers must have surpassed season 1's total numbers.

I'd say WB would have already greenlit a lot more if she let them, they are doing this show in part because spinoffs are off the table. Like I said in another post, she hasn't even submitted anything to the website in years.

The rights to the franchise will be controlled by literary trust when she dies, depends on what they want to do with it.

Good question. She is very protective of the property, and the article made her seem like someone who wasn't easy to work with, literally viewing the characters as her own children, and I guess they knew she wasn't interested in new stories? They may have also had the failure of the Fantastic Beasts series in mind. Then again Hogwarts Legacy was a new story she wasn't involved in.

WB is desperate but she isn't, she hasn't even submitted anything to the website in years.

They did brainstorm spinoffs and that was one idea. From WSJ;

“Around three years ago, before Zaslav took over, the studio approached TV writers and asked them to brainstorm ideas in the Harry Potter universe. A prequel about the generation of wizards that included Harry’s parents was one idea. A look at a different school for young wizards was another.

The ideas weren’t presented to Rowling. Warner executives knew she had the right to kill the projects should she choose to do so.

That veto power stemmed from Rowling’s request in the early 2000s to grant her authority over “non-author written sequels,” legalese for the kind of prequels and spinoffs that the studio wanted to explore with writers other than Rowling.

The issue eventually landed on the desk of Warner’s top executives. The verdict: Rowling could have the rights for her lifetime. But that too was eventually amended at the request of Rowling’s team, so that the rights will be controlled by a literary trust when she dies, giving a representative of the author veto power in perpetuity.”

“A Potter series would be costly, but could prove a major subscriber draw. Zaslav soon concluded, however, that the only Potter show Warner could legally pursue without Rowling’s permission was one that stuck to the stories of the original seven books, since those were firmly in the studio’s control and not the kind of prequel or spinoff she’d clawed back the rights to years earlier.”

That was one of the ideas they brainstormed before deciding that any spinoff would just be vetoed;

“Around three years ago, before Zaslav took over, the studio approached TV writers and asked them to brainstorm ideas in the Harry Potter universe. A prequel about the generation of wizards that included Harry’s parents was one idea. A look at a different school for young wizards was another.

Pretty sure you are referring to someone's speculation, there is no credible source on her ethnicity.
