The HBO series, a lot of it is coming from JKR’s funds directly as she no longer wants the original trio to be the faces of the brand, due to their ongoing support for Trans people
As for the UK, it’s a brand new park, a brand new market, and we could get something never seen before. No HP keeps the Orlando parks aspirational by offering something different
Osaka and Beijing both have Universal HP worlds and they're only a few hours apart (not to mention the Warners HP studio in Tokyo and upcoming HP world at Warners in UAE). And of course there are 2 HP worlds in the US. I really don't think there's much merit in the infringing market discussion when multiple closer parks seemingly happily co-exist. Plus they can easily be differentiated with varying rides if that's a concern.
Yes Orlando has a percentage of UK visitors but the potential new market in the UK alone let alone Europe completely dwarfs that. It's the equivalent of saying DLP shouldn't have the same areas as WDW.
