Warner Bros. doesn't want you to see this, because they're trying to complete a complicated sale, which includes their co-ownership of Harry Potter with JK Rowling.
"Even minor injury lawsuits must be disclosed privately to the buyer." ✅
More context from the original contract between Universal, Warner Bros., and JK Rowling, for the "Wizarding World of Harry Potter" licensing:
orlandoparkstop.com/news/theme-p...
Universal (owned by Comcast) doesn't want you to see this because their contract with Warner Bros. for Harry Potter requires a "first-class, world-class level themed area unsurpassed by any other themed area in any destination theme park worldwide" at all times, and $WBD can sue for breach.

"... reported similar issues with Harry Potter and the Battle at the Ministry since it opened last year, including the ride being shut down for maintenance on its opening day and guests being stuck on the ride after abrupt stops for an hour ... or more."

“The most important job of a theme park is to keep its guests safe. Instead, Universal allegedly operated a ride that had been plagued by repeated malfunctions, glitches and hard stops since it opened,” attorney John Morgan said in the release.

I work on the Harry Potter Cursed Child websites at work. Just been told we can’t use the word “transition” n the website. Like fr being serious. Because of the fkin TERF author. I feel like I’m going insane.
Wondering out loud who invited Andrew Montbatten-Windsor to the set of the Harry Potter HBO series.
O cool The hypothesis that the elite were trying to segrigate trans people from society purely to keep us as sex slaves was real, but only for trans women since they see trans men as undesirable for sex and want them eliminated which is EXACTLY THE POLICIES AND RHETORIC WE'RE SEEING HAPPEN RIGHT NOW
JK Rowling is named in the Epstein files. While most of them are just casual mentions, there are two specific relevant ones: Rowling’s team personally invited Epstein after he requested to come see the premiere of the Harry Potter play including a special dinner invitiation in between the two shows.
A meme apology form to everyone who called it (Epstein and JK Rowling)
Please fill this out and get it back to us whenever you have a chance.
AND it looks like Jeffrey Epstein was manipulating people to create the anti-trans movement in England.
A movement that JK Rowling has unapologetically made herself a figurehead for.
It is likely Jeffrey Epstein told JK Rowling to use her money to attack trans people.

Harry Potter actor Brendan Gleeson has spoken about other Harry Potter stars coming out against JK Rowling's views on trans people.
When asked by The Independent, the actor said: "I think this is what we can best do as artists: show people that they’re better off being compassionate, being kinder."
YIKES.
Upper Deck (Marvel Legendary) just announced a CCG using the Harry Potter license.

A graph showing Fortnite player counts with a dramatic decline between November and December players.
I was curious as to whether Fortnite lost players this last month - I stipped playing when the Harry Potter themed Winterfest (fuck JKR) started and discovered they have gone down around 8 million users over last month and more than half of this time last year.
