Why did someone lie about the Harry Potter TV show?
By Callum Gunn
The supposedly in the works Harry Potter TV show isn’t happening. Officials have confirmed this. So why did someone lie to us in the first place?
Anyone else super annoyed that the Harry Potter TV show isn’t happening? I certainly am. If you missed out on the news reported earlier in the week; here is what happened.
A report from a news outlet ran with the story that Warner Bros. was in the very early stages of production for a Harry Potter TV show. It would take place before the time of The Boy Who Lived, would be set in and around Hogwarts along with Europe and would feature brand new characters.

It all sounded very exciting and we shared the news with you. Based on all of your reactions, it sounded as though you were all very excited about it as well.
Problem is, both Warner Bros. and J.K. Rowling representatives came forward to explain this was in fact not the case and the report was nothing but speculative.
So, all the excitement we had quickly deflated.
Now, the news outlet who ran with the story is not to blame. Or least I am trying not to place blame on them. They had a source close to Warner Bros. who made the, what we now know to be, false claim. The news outlet would have been mental not to run with the story when they were giving the information, so I don’t blame them.

What I am basically saying is it is the source who is to blame. They are the ones who have lied and got all of our hopes up for nothing, but what I want to know is why?
Why lie about this? Seriously? I just don’t get it.
Why go out of your way to get a load of fans excited about something they have wanted for years? Only to deflate that excitement faster than a popped balloon.
The only explanation I have is a phrase I cannot put in print, I’ll just let your imagination roll with what I am thinking.
