    Yes, Joanna Rowling does seem to have gone off the rails somewhat...

    It's a matter of degree - and I note what's been said about the ELR's Wizard weekends. But why would I pay for a set of rights for a contentious author when there are other options that I could do more cheaply and with less risk of unwelcome noise. Per @The Green Howards comment*, the political stands taken by the author have created vocal blowback by some of those she disagrees with.

    * - I am making no comment on those views or the issues they relate to; merely viewing them through the prism of what it may mean to run an event

    On that its worth bearing in mind that the product that will be consumed from now forwards will also not be filmed upon and therefore have nothing to do with the West Highland line, will be interesting to see what effects this may have on the Jacobite going forward.

    Bringing this thread back to its original topic, yeah I know radical eh, this group popped up on Facebook the other night which has some interesting stuff about 44767 including the occasional post regarding the progress of its present overhaul/re-erection https://www.facebook.com/groups/135850789809726

    The digitally rear-projected scenery will still be (partly) the WHL - and I suspect the setting of Hogwarts Castle won't have changed from the banks of Loch Shiel.
