'Harry Potter' cast reuniting for retrospective special
Accio, reunion.
The cast of "Harry Potter" is coming together for a new special, set to premiere on HBO Max on Jan. 1.
Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, Emma Watson and many more are expected to take part in "Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts," a special that will "celebrate the unparalleled legacy of the Harry Potter film franchise and its indelible impact on the hearts, minds, and imaginations of families and fans around the world," according to a release.
Helena Bonham Carter, Robbie Coltrane, Ralph Fiennes, Jason Isaacs, Gary Oldman, Imelda Staunton, Tom Felton, James Phelps, Oliver Phelps, Mark Williams, Bonnie Wright, Alfred Enoch, Matthew Lewis, Evanna Lynch, Ian Hart and filmmaker Chris Columbus are among the names also set to appear.
One muggle missing from the lineup of the special as of now? Author and franchise creator JK Rowling, whose statements regarding the transgender community in recent years have alienated fans and "Potter" alums alike.
Last year, star Radcliffe responded to Rowling's controversial tweets about gender identity, which some labeled as transphobic, in an essay for the Trevor Project.
"Transgender women are women," he wrote. "Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo (Rowling) or I."
Rowling's absence from the lineup for the time being can be taken as a sign that there are some things that can't be fixed with a simple "reparo."
《哈利波特》演员重聚回顾特辑
艾克西欧,重逢。
“哈利波特”的演员们正在为一部新的特别节目而聚在一起,该特别节目将于 1 月 1 日在 HBO Max 上首映。
丹尼尔·雷德克里夫、鲁伯特·格林特、艾玛·沃特森和更多人预计将参加“哈利波特 20 周年:重返霍格沃茨”,这一特别节目将“庆祝哈利波特电影系列的无与伦比的遗产及其对人心的不可磨灭的影响世界各地的家庭和粉丝的思想和想象力,”根据一份新闻稿。
海伦娜·伯翰·卡特、罗比·科尔特兰、拉尔夫·费因斯、杰森·艾萨克、加里·奥德曼、伊梅尔达·斯丹顿、汤姆·费尔顿、詹姆斯·菲尔普斯、奥利弗·菲尔普斯、马克·威廉姆斯、邦妮·赖特、阿尔弗雷德·伊诺克、马修·刘易斯、伊文娜·林奇、伊恩·哈特和电影制片人克里斯·哥伦布名字当中也出现了。
到目前为止,特别节目的阵容中缺少一位麻瓜?作家和特许经营创作者 JK 罗琳近年来关于跨性别社区的言论疏远了粉丝和“波特”校友。
去年,明星拉德克利夫在一篇为特雷弗项目撰写的文章中回应了罗琳关于性别认同的有争议的推文,有些人将这些推文标记为跨性别者。
“跨性别女性就是女性,”他写道。 “任何相反的陈述都会抹去跨性别者的身份和尊严,并违背专业医疗保健协会提供的所有建议,这些协会在这一主题上比乔(罗琳)或我拥有更多的专业知识。”
罗琳暂时不在阵容中可以被视为一个迹象,表明有些事情无法通过简单的“修复”来解决。
