It's kind of like making a Harry Potter movie but Harry is not a wizard, or a Hunger Games movies but Katniss isn't one of the district champions.
Harry was a villain. Any sorcery council with anything resembling an IQ north of room temperature would have slit Harry's throat on Day 1.

I want another Harry Potter movie. Where its just Hermione going through the entire Wizarding World eliminating the wildly incompetent and useless people.

She was the only one who put in the work and any good at anything. That is an organization in dire need of a shake-up.
