A Tumblr thread between two user. 

Scorpio-System says: "AAA  Video Game Publisher Voice: 'Look. The goose layed a golden egg, and that's nice! Everyone loved that egg. But keeping the golden goose means paying for bird feed and I don't want to, so I killed the goose." 

The post is tagged with numerous replies, including. 
"That goose keeps laying golden eggs. That's stagnation. I'm going to kill it and look for a goose that lays diamond eggs."  
"That goose normally lays golden eggs, but this time it laid a silver egg. So I'm going to kill it because even though I can still make good money with that,  It's not  as good as a golden egg."
"That golden egg laying goose only lays an egg once a day instead of constantly shitting them out. I don't care that golden eggs take time. If they're not constant, the goose is worthless to me."

JKR explicitly said she considers anything Potter-related, even fan-made, endorsement of her politics. And every time you engage with this franchise, you signal to the industry that there's still money in it and they should keep pumping out content from full-cast audiobooks to book box partnerships.

This carved stone plaque was found in St Francis' Row in Cashel, and it is believed to be the sign for a tavern that was known as The Cat & Bagpipes, that once stood on the main street. It may date to as early as the 16-17th century, and offers a glimpse of Cashel's social life from centuries ago
