👀 The new trailer of "Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore" barely mentions JK Rowling – who co-wrote and co-produced the new film.
The trailer starts with a caption saying "Warner Bros invites you", while previous films featured "J.K Rowling invites you".
Instead, the writer's name appears in a minor publishing note at the very end of the video.
📌 This change comes as Rowling has been targeted by transgender activists who have blasted the creator of the Harry Potter universe for her views.
📌 Rowling's stance on trans issues has previously been criticised by HP actors, including Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe, and Eddie Redmayne.

⚡️ Former Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin pleads guilty to violating George Floyd’s civil rights
❗️ Ex-police officer Derek Chauvin on Wednesday pleaded guilty to violating George Floyd's civil rights, changing his initial plea.
The move essentially means Chauvin will not face a federal trial in January. Three other former cops indicted on federal charges alongside Chauvin earlier in the year are still to face the trial on those charges.
After being convicted for Floyd's murder during spring, Chauvin pleaded not guilty to civil rights violation, and so did his three former colleagues.

🌪Severe weather threats loom again for parts of the US Midwest, with a tornado watch issued for areas in Wisconsin, Minnesota and Iowa.
The storms will generally target areas well north and west of those ravaged by the deadly and devastating tornado outbreak late last week, but the severe weather is projected to be as strong as last week's system.
