The TV show is gonna be a success because Harry Potter is very popular. THIS WEEK - 20 years since the last book came out - among the 20 "most read" books on Amazon (which aggregates Kindle reads + Audible listens), there are 8 Dungeon Crawler Carl books and 5 Harry Potter books.

Like I see some people suggesting it might flop because it's going to be bad or a retread of the films and ngl if quality writing and originality mattered more than a massive marketing budget, those books would never have become the massive phenomenon they did.

If Harry Potter, the bestselling book series of all time, was successful because of a massive marketing budget, they'd simply reproduce the phenomenon to sell more books. But they can't - they don't know how. bsky.app/profile/rive...
