I went to visit a friend recently who lives near one of the Wizarding World parks, and I can happily report that it’s far from a dying franchise. It’s almost the opposite: it’s become an evergreen one. The wizard part of the Universal Studios was above and beyond the most crowded area of the park, and I observed people of all ages, races, religions, and gender presentations enjoying Rowling’s world and happily shelling out $69.99 for a plastic stick with a light on the end. Many, many people. And these people read the books to their children. It’s not going anywhere, not for a long, long time.
Apologies for the anecdote. But it was heartening to see that the troon’s crazy crusade really is just in their minds.
