You must not have paid close attention in those 20 years.

Please. JK signed off on Crimes of Grindlewald and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. Also apparently the Gringotts coaster that contradicts the story. Voldemort shows up when Harry, Ron, and Hermione are stealing the Horcrux?

Oh, yes she is. Her thumb is down tightly on Wizarding World and the Warner Brothers company is just as tight on it as well.

I don’t really know but doubt we’ll see a repeat of a Potter attraction occurring so specifically during known events.

She is VERY tight on what is allowed. It took 3 years to get a sign changed from "Exit ->" to "<- Lifts/Exit ->"

If you believe she is that involved in minutiae then have I got a deal for you on the Brooklyn Bridge.

I believe it, but it also confuses me on why she would sign off on theming shortcuts for Hagrid.

Because she isn’t that directly involved and this attraction has had the least involvement from Warner Bros.
As a matter of fact, yes, I do try to avoid most threads that aren't about major new attractions. They tend to take too great a toll on the brain cell count. With that in mind, my previous statement still stands. People are actively looking for trivial reasons to criticize this attraction.

And every attraction since 2001.

For sure Rowling and WB has consulted on other projects and it is great PR to the fanbase, but she is not one to work with the theme park medium in creating attractions and understanding operations is understandably not her expertise.
She collected the checks, and Warner Brothers often share the load. She is fine with many things that get blown out of proportion.
Stuart Craig and others are a part of a Themed Entertainment and often a universal Creative Projects under the Potter Portfolio. It is not as studio involved as before.
She doesn't understand theme park operations... which is exactly why Wizarding World wasn't built to their usual standards with regards to capacity. She has quite clearly had her say in things, and I doubt that has changed much, if at all with this attraction.

Not only does she have a say, she even has a room above Diagon Alley that is hers when she visits. While she may defer in operational capacity to the designers, and initial pitch and any change must be signed off by her. Both her and Warner are very, very strict on what is done.
I understand what you are saying. Her being comfortable and having tributes and respect is not equal to a creative director or leadership positions. WB, like other big companies have learned to have liscencing for experience departments that work with themed entertainment to keep branding and quality control. Strict and saying what is to be done are different.
