Brian Posted February 21, 2023 Share Posted February 21, 2023 Quote “I do not walk around my house, thinking about my legacy,” she says in the first episode. “You know, what a pompous way to live your life walking around thinking, ‘What will my legacy be?’ Whatever, I’ll be dead. I care about now. I care about the living.” Phelps-Roper interviewed Rowling at her home, a castle in Edinburgh, Scotland you live in a fucking Harry Potter type castle.

Guest Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 9 minutes ago, skillzdadirecta said: Disney paid 4 Billion apiece for Lucasfilm and Marvel. Is the Harry Potter property worth both of those combined? Rowling is making between 50-100 million a year in rights payments for all the various HP related properties. I’m guessing Disney would likely do exactly what they did with LF and Marvel and ramp up the content coming out of both, which makes the brands even more valuable. HP stuff already gets used fairly regularly, but if a major media company bought the rights I think you would likely see more movies, some TV shows, more books, more video games, and all the down stream merchandising of that activity. If I had to hazard a guess, HP would likely fetch in the 10 billion range. LF and Marvel TODAY are probably valued in the low 10s of billions range.

CastlevaniaNut18 Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 That's cool, because I've kinda stopped caring about her.

You'll have to forgive me Saddam Hussein - Wikipedia EN.WIKIPEDIA.ORG "Saddam implemented a national infrastructure campaign that made great progress in building roads, promoting mining, and developing other industries. The campaign helped Iraq's energy industries. Electricity was brought to nearly every city in Iraq, and many outlying areas. Before the 1970s, most of Iraq's people lived in the countryside and roughly two-thirds were peasants. This number would decrease quickly during the 1970s as global oil prices helped revenues to rise from less than a half billion dollars to tens of billions of dollars and the country invested into industrial expansion."

TheShader Posted February 22, 2023 Share Posted February 22, 2023 Also, sorry, for the record, I agree with you. JK Rowling is not capable of being harmful to society due to her spending money for the strict purposes of tax write-offs. As we all know, the more you skim off taxes the more better good a person you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
