Why isn't there a Harry Potter-themed Lemmy instance yet? (self.fediverse)

It's one of the first things I would expect from a site like this. I know that J.K. Rowlings views are very controversial to put it mildly, but:

The fandom/books are not the author
Harry Potter will become a part of the Fediverse at some point anyways - better to support it early on and shape its developing rather than having a company build a H.P. social network on top of the fediverse, which will be to our disadvantage
In terms of potential users, this could be huge for the threadiverse
We are in the Fediverse: defederation is always a possibility

Or was it just never tried before / no one wanted to yet?

I mean, it was just a lemmy instance someone put up. It's not that huge a thing, and it wasn't very popular...
