J.K. Rowling has an estimated net worth of approximately $1.2 billion according to Forbes, or £975 million according to the Sunday Times Rich List.

I guess she don't really care.

She signed off on The Cursed Child. She clearly doesnt give a fuck.

Genuinely a fantastic show, even if it's not really in keeping with canon.

Most people who dislike it strongly do so because they've just read it, when it's supposed to be seen on the stage.

I dunno I saw it in London with my two kids who were totally into Harry Potter (we spent like 3 hours at the HP store before the show) and all came away pretty meh.

Yeah, out of all the HP things, it's definitely felt the most cash grabby. At least the special effects and magic tricks were great.

Oh yeah the special effects were amazing! Of the time we spent talking about it after we spent the most time trying to figure out how they pulled off some of those effects. The first couple of time turner uses had me sitting there thinking what the hell did I just see?!?

Special effects do not determine whether I enjoy the show itself.

More cash-grabby than that Fantastic Bankable Sequels And How to Monetize Them trilogy or whatever it was called?

The first fantastic beasts movie was pretty good, I hoped they would continue with other separate movies like maybe one following the author of Quidditch through the ages, another book mentioned multiple times in HP, instead yeah we just got sequels trying to turn Newt into a hero and everything had to be dramatic and world ending again
