You know, now that I'm thinking about it, HBO was really stupid to pick up Harry Potter.
They could likely have got Worst Witch license much cheaper, and enough people would have seen the trailer and thought 'it's a HP knockoff' to get viewership and buzz with increasing buzz when people learn WW is the original and not attached to a bigot.
They'd have raked in the cash, had more creative license and kneecapped a fascist without a downside for them.

@obscurestar IDK if they could, the last series was done by CBBC, ZDF and Netflix, so questions about the copyright start immediately. https://wikiless.rawbit.ninja/wiki/The_Worst_Witch_(2017_TV_series)?lang=en And HBO might have got the HP license cheap-ish from WB, which owns them. @macmanx
