I'm pretty sure if WB made a new Harry Potter not based on any novel, Potter fans wouldn't rage at the idea. After a little while the studio side gets a sort of authority with the movie universe and they should be allowed to further interpret things. This includes a new movie.
I haven't seen it yet, but I'm not particularly happy about the extension as it smacks of money-grabbing. If the reason to do something is to try to eke out more cash then it's not a good enough reason in my opinion. Guillermo del Toro dropping from the project and then this extension to 3 films was a problem for me, because both suggest undue marketing influence on the artistic direction, but I'll still go see this.
