Yeah... Not gonna happen my dude. The best thing you can do is to not watch the show. If enough people do that than they'll end up canceling it and we won't have to see it anymore
As a Harry Potter fan I feel I need to point out that despite the movies as a whole being a pretty good adaptation their are a few points that were done terribly or changed for no good reason for example making Ron an idiot, giving Harry and Ron smarter moments e.g. Hermione being completely calm when they get pass fluffy while in the books Ron was the calm one who had to remind Hermione that she had a wand and didn't need firewood. Not to mention the complete butchering of the half-blood prince making it a rom com with bad jokes and removed most of Voldemort memory scenes and removing the fight between the deatheaters and the order of the Phoenix.
Goblet of Fire was sabotaged by a despicable director who will not be named. And then David Yates came in and slowly killed the rest of the series with mostly tv-style directing.
Ya and how Ginny had the emotions of a brick 😂 I also wish they put more time into coaching the kids on acting because they sucked and most of them still aren’t good actors. Unpopular opinion but Emma Watson isn’t a good actress
I agree. I would love to see this series as long as it's well done abs true to the books. Sounds like it should be. I like the movies, but I think the world she created deserves a longer format.
And for some reason in the movies, a 12 year old Hermione already knew offensive wizard slang, "mudblood", even though she was raised in the Muggle world by Muggle parents. In the book, Hermione could only tell it was offensive by everyone's reactions, but didn't know what it meant. It was Ron who explained it. Most of Ron's good lines were given to Hermione.
Fixing Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince would be really nice. I think not having Steve Kloves, the Hermione fanboy, as screenwriter, could fix Ron and Hermione's realtionship and allow for more with Harry and Ginny
I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I’m torn with this. Part of me is excited that there’s an opportunity to expand on what the films weren’t able to include, but the other part wants it to be left alone. I reeeally would prefer to see something original like a Marauder’s series or even exploring Beauxbatons.🦋
The CEO of Warner Bros, David Zazlov, is very much anti-woke and wants to make a profit and win over true Harry Potter fans, and Warner Bros. is losing a ton of money from their previous hyper-woke management, including Ann Sarnoff and Walter Hamada. However, Zazlov also allowed Velma to premiere and didn't ax Ezra Miller from The Flash, also. So there's no telling if this new series will be good because WB needs the money, or another disaster that should've never been made.
I'm excited about it! I could be wrong, but if I am, I'll just... stop watching it. The good thing about a series is that it can explore other schools and other time periods via flashback episodes, backstory episodes, etc. We'll see where it goes. 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of people are trying to make Hermione "canonically" black already over the last few years due to the cursed child and her frizzy hair in the books. In the books she is described as being extremely pale when scared and being tan after a vacation which shows she's white, but I digress... because of people already trying to make her black, what do you want to bet this series is going to do that too?
@@LolLololol-m1i did you read what I said? The problem is that she isn't black in the book even though people say she was lol. The problem is going back to change an established character decades later. Having a black character isn't a problem. Hitting the redo button on a character is
I feel like as soon as casting is released, we will know if this is going to be the amazing (true to book) adaptation that fans want or just another woke take over. Hopefully JKR being involved will be a saving grace.
My assumption is that the main 3 kids won't be race bent at all, because WB understands that they will kill their viewership with that decision. But they will have a lot of side characters cast as racially diverse, probably way more than what you would typically see at a school in England that is 83% white (especially in the 1990's). However, JKR did give the green light for the Cursed Child play to have Hermoine as a black woman, although Hermoine is described as being white and pale in the books. Then she later made Dumbledore gay, because why not.
@@JRF32100 dumbledore being gay was revealed by jo in 2007, at the last book's release. a lot of ppl thought she just recently and randomly made him gay, it's kinda annoying. the only thing i'm worried is them casting a black hermione.
@@viridian8786 when she has a black eye she is also described as looking like a panda. Which is to say that her face is white with dark circles around her eye. Doesn’t matter what they do in the new releases, all of the other books still exist and their words live forever. There are also the many JKR approved sketches and art of the kids with Hermoine being white.
Snape and Hagrid are really the only two I will have a hard time accepting a new casting for. I think the OG cast is great, but those two for sure will be a tough pill to swallow.
The problem is not with diverse character from the book. The problem will be the diverse characters will be pushed to the front lines & have more screentime than the book actually requires. They already have diversity in the books . It depends how they choose to use them.
@@voluntarism335 I'm torn because on one hand, the fact they're looking to do a faithful adaptation of the books railroads them quite a lot and massively limits the amount of woke shit they can force into it because it simply wasn't a thing the books were concerned with. There was diversity there but it was a far more natural feeling diversity and was largely representative of what the audience interacted with in the real world at the time. If they did a new story there is no reason they can't make it woke because it's new and they can put whatever they want in it so on that front, committing to a faithful adaptation is the safest option. On the other hand, it would be great to see a marauders series to get a view into that previous generation of witches/wizards. Ultimately, given the apparent need for producers to shoehorn as many politically-driven features into things nowadays, I'd prefer a faithful adaptation to a story we're already familiar with but bringing to life the details that had to be left out in the original movies than a new story that could end up as a black mark on the franchise (look at what the sequels did to Star Wars or what Rings of Power did to Lord of the Rings for example)
I want to see how this goes because I want justice for Ron and Ginny's characters, sassy Harry Potter, and, more importantly, Dumbledore being calm. And as long as she sticks to what she did with casting in the movie (matching the characters with the book) and putting her foot down to be faithful (and add more elements to progress the story further while staying true to the embodiment of Harry Potter, like I want to see more of characters of different houses, especially in Slytherin than just Draco and his gang), then I'm fine. I might watch it because some people are in enrage. But honestly, I wanted a Founders movie or show; I want to know more about Salazar Slytherin or maybe a Marauder show; I am interested in the Black Family (Regulus). Or to explore more of the Wizarding World in England.
@@unscripted483 I've wanted one since I read the books because I'm tired of arguing about Ron's character. Honestly, I wanted an animation adaption like done Atla-style.
I really want a Tom Riddle backstory, of like more in depth about how he got to Hogwarts, how he started down the wrong path, maybe his journey to create the horcruxes. That would be dope.
Or one about the marauders!!! Show us how they discover Lupin's condition, turn to animagus, how they create the map,how they interact with Snape and Lily! The timeline also matches with Voldemort's high point and the first magic war, there is a lot of content to be explored
I am currently reading Harry Potter to my kids and they LOVE it! I’m looking forward to this remake (even though, I’m sick of remakes too), since the movies left so much out. The books are iconic and part of my childhood that I get to share with my kids. I will be reading, re-reading, and reading again these books to them for as long as they want it (no matter what the people on the Internet says). I love Rowling and the world she gifted to me and my children.
well JK rowling is still alive to consent, but i guess SHES TAKEN THEIR MUNNEEEEEEH and its gonna be one fat old slap into her face over her "transphobic hate comments" (aka common sense) to teach her the powaaaah of the corpo side.
People are forgetting that HBO/WB own the original soundtrack, set design, etc. They can make a REALLY solid adaptation that has a strong sense of place. The Hogwarts Legacy game was incredible at this, if you basically never fast-travel places and make an effort to learn the castle. The geometry of the setting is important to me, and one of the aspects many are overlooking, like Wednesday.
Except Disney owning Marvel Comics, Star Wars, and Pixar shows that no matter if you own everything related or belonging to the property, if you go into it with ulterior motives we're going to see the property tank.
To piggyback off Brett's final statement, I also highly agree that doing a series is genius since they can now try to include all of the minute details that were left off the movies due to runtime constraints. I for one am extremely excited for this series.
They can even add things that aren't in the books, but Rowling put on Pottermore. (Hopefully, Cursed Child, Fantastic Beasts, and Twitter stuff won't be canon)
@@everyhandleiwantedwastaken Oh damn I forgot about that. My gripe has always been the ending to the 6th movie. But yeah that was the biggest letdown from the 4th movie- all that lead up to the World Cup and they showed us jack shit of the actual game 😭
I know right I don’t have hbo but I’ll get it to watch but first I have to re read the series for example I can’t watch season 1 until after I reread book 1
I've actually wanted Harry Potter to be a TV series for a long time. As good as the movies were, the books were so much better because of how much more you get of the story. They had to cut quite a lot out that were in the books in making the movies. If I were in charge of a Harry Potter TV series, I would make the first season entirely the first book, the second season the second book, etc., and I would follow the books so closely, that the first episode would end with Hagrid busting the door down of the shack where the Dursleys and Harry were. You'd see a sillouette of his massive form and then he'd step out from the shadows, and say to the frightened Dursleys, "Couldn’t make us a cup o’ tea, could yeh? It’s not been an easy journey....", and then the credits would roll.
I'm a genuine fan of the books more so than the movies. I'm excited to see everything that wasn't covered in the movies, like all the holiday events in every book. Books just translate better in a TV series than in movies bc they have more time to cover everything. I'm excited. It's a great franchise.
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Allan Rickman, and so on and so forth will always be their characters in my mind. The original actors are just so synonymous with the characters now.
As a big fan of the books and knowing that this is supposed to follow the books a lot more closely and include things that got cut… I’m kind of excited.
I hope they keep this British and true to the books. I enjoyed the films but I am more of,a book fan due to the sheer volume of stuff they missed out like S.P.E.W and peeves
I'd love for this remake to do well, but I'm concerned for whichever actors get cast as they'll probably get hate for not only working with JK, but also for 'replacing' the original actors. I'm looking forward to watching it and seeing what it's like, but I still have my worries for the kids.
Ong true , the additional hate if they ain't even the same race... I hope they don't add any asian characters which just seems odd given their place and 1700s where internation immigration was rather very uncommon . I say this as an Indian so no woke can cancel me lol
Here’s a harsh reality It’s not going to include everything that the movies left out and it’s not going to dive into the backstory of every character like alot of fans wanted Another harsh reality The stuff that was left out of the movies wasn’t plot related, which is why it was left out and the same thing is going to happen with the series It’s going to be 10 episodes long per book so there’s no way they can include everything
Harry Potter was a bit of new IP that Hollywood lacked. Now, it's becoming stretched beyond recognition for royalties and merchandise sales. What we need is the same kind of fresh air today, and I am working on it now with a handful of projects of my own.
"The stuff that was left out of the movies wasn’t plot related" That's just not true, a lot of plot and character relevant events have been omitted or heavily streamlined in the films, with GoF and HBP being the worst in that regard. Easy examples would be the heavily butchered backstory of Riddle - which made the reveal of Hufflepuff's cup and Harry identifying it completely random (amongst other things) - the whole situation with Ravenclaw's diadem or Rita Skeeter being an Animagus; but there are many more. So yes, while even a TV adaptation like this can't include every single detail of the day to day Hogwarts life, it can definitely nail the important bits and finally "fix" the exclusion of a lot of characters - e.g. Winky or Peeves - expand on the ones that just came out of nowhere in the films - e.g. Bill - give others the proper arc they deserve - e.g. Ginny, Neville, the "Lupin's" and Kreacher - and most importantly include all the missing storylines. The question that remains to be answered is whether or not they can pull it off. HBO does have a pretty good track record with adaptations though, as long as they have source material to follow.
@@appetizingly ok I’ll revise what I said They aren’t plot essential Not including certain details of the plot in the movies didn’t derail the story and also things in books don’t translate to film smoothly Which is why some books are impossible to adapt into a movie (blood meridian for example) My point is though is I think most fans are expecting too much of this series in terms of added details
@@appetizingly The broken mirror was the biggest single plot point messed up in the movies. This broken piece of mirror just appears in the movie an saves them from the basement. You need to have read the book to understand where that even came from. But the base point of the whole story, spelled out in Harrys speach in the final fight scene is missing so much context that people who only watched the movies see the story completely diffrent than book readers.
They can and will and they are going to. A 10 year deal that will include everything, following every character until muliple storylines. Each season will be a different year. Everything from the book, Pottermore, and other stuff, will be included in the series. Then and now. It will be a huge heavy series packed with diverse information.....well that's thier plan anyway.
I agree that if you want all the details then read the books, however I also love seeing what I've read played out on screen which is why I'm excited for the series to finally be able to include everything that was missing from the movies creating so many holes in the story, plus getting to see favorite characters from the books that were not included in the movies such as winky and peeves.
I have two things about this: 1) I didn't particularly like the movie adaptations past the PofA one (I didn't really like movies 1-3 either but that's a different matter), therefore I'm so excited to hear that a long-term tv adaptation is coming out that will be more faithful to the book details. My friends and family literally can't wrap their heads around why I'm so excited. 2) I kinda want Maggie Smith to make at least a brief appearance. I get why she might not but she's a great actress and I really love her work, particularly in HP. I will also miss Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane (R.I.P.). I will forever adore the book series and the Wizarding World. Can people please stop ruining my favourite childhood nostalgia over screwed up chronically online politics that most of the world doesn't give a shit about?
If it is done properly, This show could be amazing. If it isn't it will be a huge black mark on the franchise like the Star Wars sequel trilogy or the Amazon Rings of Power series. The fact they appear to be putting a lot of emphasis on it being faithful to the books gives me hope (as does the inclusion of J.K. Rowling which will hopefully stop them making too many "creative decisions") but I've not seen nearly enough to be confident it will be a good show that we should support yet
I'm making a prediction: Hermione will be black and Harry some other non-white or mixed race. Draco will be gay (for Harry). Also Lupin and Sirius will be a couple, so Tonks will probably be a lesbian. The elves will all want to be freed, unlike in the books where they were largely against interference. Ginny will probably be Bi, as will at least one of the twins. Dumbledore will either be wearing a pride flag as a robe, or will have one in his office. S.P.E.W. will exist and be a main focal point, and heavily different from the books. There will be at least one boy wearing the girl's uniform in the background of most any scene. He will also be in the girls dorm if its ever shown, and the stairs won't reject him bc ofc not.
Three things which disappointed me about the original movie run was the lack of Peeves, Quidditch being shoved to the sideline, and (minor, but forgivable) the Dursleys disappearing even though they did have deleted scenes. They looked so miserable. One thing I'm _glad_ they left out from the book was Percy's betrayal to the family when becoming Fudge's suck up Yes Man. Now as a formerly obsessed fan of the books/movies (now just casual. I've branched out!) I just hope they don't keep milking this franchise for the next 30 years. It'll lose its steam and become the next _Smurfs_ which... might still have fans ... but for the most part largely ignored by the populous.
I am frankly excited for this series, and let me explain why. I prefer the book series over the movies! I remembered watching after reading the books and thought "Oh, I wished that they added this and this and this on to the movie, because some of this would explain so much". Granted, I am aware of the budget and time while filming movies and I was glad that they put the last book into 2 movies, but still left out a few things. And I have been wanting a TV series of Harry Potter forever and didn't care if it is live action or anime! There is soooo many opportunities that this series can do what the movies can't! I would love the series introduced Peeves, Peeves was only mentioned in the first movie. I would loved to see Nick's Deathday Party. I would loved to see Winky and Hermiones passion of SPEW(if you had read the series, you know...), Professor Binns teaching of History of Magic. Some of this and more was never shown in the movies but some were in the video game of Hogwarts Legacy! I would also like to see an expansion of the Wizarding World, Like Founders of Hogwarts, Merlin's time at Hogwarts, Lily and James and the rest of the Mauraders years in Hogwarts and time up to the time he dies. I would love all of it I should add that TV series from nearly any book series have a better success rate for fans, than if was of a movie or a TV adaptation to a movie. Game of Thrones, I am glad that they made a TV series than making a movie of Song of Ice and Fire. Walking Dead started off as a comic book series, became one of the biggest TV series for a few years, if it was in the theatres, it would be just another zombie movie! Imagine that they just stuck with a movie series If you want to go further back, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a movie and it bombed...big! But became the most watched series of it's time and still have a cult following. I should also add that Disney+ is releasing a TV series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians(I know Disney+, most likely going to be woke af, but I think I'll watch it anyways), there were many books in this series and only came out with 3 movies. Now let's talk about Chronicles of Narnia, they only made 3 (4 movies in total) movies and there are 7 books and made Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe 2 times(one was animated and done in the 70s). I would be excited for a TV series if they decide they go that route.
I wonder if that's what this series is for, to see how much "brand fatigue" there is related to Harry Potter. If it does well, we could very well see more time periods in the Wizarding World. Personally, I'm still hoping for that Aurors trailer that IGN made as an April Fools Day prank in 2011.
I wish I could enjoy books like others do. There’s just so much to cram into a 1.5-3 hr movie, and there’s no way to tell the complete story that way. Unfortunately, I get too side tracked, and forget what I read. I can’t explain it. If I’m reading to learn something I can remember, but when it’s in a story format my brain shuts off.
To be fair, spite against Radcliffe and Watson may have been a (however slight or major we can't know) motivator, they threw her under the bus for woke points, her, the woman they have to thank for their careers, their fame and pretty much everything they have
Watson doesn't have to thank Rowling for anything. Rowling didn't want Watson to be cast as Hermione. She thought Emma was too pretty. Radcliffe, on the other hand, did have Rowling batting in his corner strictly from an aesthetic standpoint. Otherwise, they owe their careers to their own acting chops and their proactive auditioning efforts.
@@mel3687 Except for, if she hadn't written the books and the movies weren't made, they'd have never made millions or became household names. They weren't particularly good child actors. It was JKR's story that was the hit and people grew to like the actors, but the movies would have succeeded just the same if they'd cast other children. So yeah, they do owe her everything they have. Her story made them famous, not their acting ability. Their acting was actually pretty bad until maybe the Goblet a fire. Azcaban if you're being generous.
@@Swearengen1980 Oh, how prescient of you! I didn't know you possessed a crystal ball. In reality, they could've landed other roles that delivered the same professional success within their industry, though perhaps not at such a meteoric pace. Point being, it was their skill that got them the job, not the books or the author of the books. Yes? They owe Rowling no more than any actor owes any screenplay writer. Otherwise, it would be fair to say that you owe your life's accomplishments to every serendipitous encounter or event in your life and that they were not earned but fated. Are you a fatalist then, Adam? 🤨
@@Swearengen1980 P.S. Warner Brothers initially wanted to cast Haley Joel Osment as Harry Potter. You're saying that the films would have performed just as well regardless of cast. But imagine an American Harry Potter. Not quite so appealing or authentic, eh? So casting made *all* the difference. (Why do you think fans were in such a rage over the casting of Umbridge? She deviated too much from the books and so, something was lost)
I kinda agree with that last guy. The movies were good, but I always thought they would have been more amazing as a long term series. It is a reboot in a sense, but seeing as so much was cut out of the movies I tend to think of it more as it being done now the way it should have been. A true adaptation for lovers of the books.
I am actually very hopeful that this works out. I mean with ot being a tv series, they will have so much more time to explore the story much deeper. Of coarse it could go very wrong, but still... i am rooting for it.
I'm actually kinda excited for this! I do agree that remakes mostly are just lazy content, but sometimes they can actually be great. A few years ago Netflix released a show based on one of my favorite book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, they worked closely with the author and actually added new elements to the story and gave us more context to some things, so maybe HBO and JKR will do the same and answer some questions that were left unanswered in the books. Whatever it's gonna be, I'll watch it cause the movies didn't do the books any justice. Of course I'd like to see a completely new story more than this, but there's a high chance this could be epic, especially if they gave us new information about the characters like Dumbledore for instance.
Where is Regulus Black's Story? Bertha jorkins? Winky? Charlie Weasley? James Potter's story of saving Snape from Sirius's Hilarious Prank about shoving him in front of a Werewolf on Full Moon? Quidditch? And bunch of stuff that should have been there? Especially Riddle's story. We need this.
@@LeeEverett1 well to be fair nearly everyone I know haven’t watched it before, sure they know the memes but most either read the books or just didn’t watch it
so now ur gonne be excisted to watch the series? ur sad at not a harry potter fan alan rickmen , hagrid its sad u havent watched the movies thye are great actors
@@shadowmahesh9876 its cuz they are loners with no life if u read the books and ur a real fan u should watch the movies how can uy not wanne watch dragons or alan rickmen play or the battle between dumble dore vs voldemort or harry escaping his uncles house in 2th book or the scen of harry flying hyppogriff the music or serious etc why wtf
I saw a tiktok where a POC was like “if they make Harry black I’m walking” 😩 these reboots are horrid. They even tried to buy our JKR and she refused. She doesn’t want to watch them make her story into something it’s not meant to be. She wrote Harry Potter for her KIDS. Kids shows do NOT need to have political agenda. 🤷🏻♀️
Ummmm for Cursed Child, Tom Felton said yes so someone did say yes and honestly I do not want this to happen. I love the books and I love the movies, there are just some people you cannot replace. Robbie and Allan are just two of the people that cannot be replaced. I just do not want this to now become woke.
@I Bully Woketards Considering the woke have turned on JK Rowling, Hogwarts Legacy was a massive success, and Warner Bros desperately needs money right now, I'd say you might be surprised yet. 2023 seems to be the year that people are finally learning that the most profitable thing is the opposite of woke.
@@RSvids1012 The books had a diverse cast. If you can actually read English you know that not all the characters are white or even heterosexual. It's all in the context clues.
personally i'm really excited for this I felt the films although fun didn't quite do the books justice simply coz they were rushed out before the books were even finished which left a lot of gaps in the story which had they just waited for the books to be finished they might have been better. and also now don't get me wrong I LOVE AR as Snape but I thought he didn't do the character justice as he was described in the book. and please NOTE I was a MAJOR Rickman fan in school, I literally had a folder with pictures of him in it that i carried around with me everywhere. that's how crazy i was about him.
I am definitely looking forward to this show! TV Adaptations are just better quality 98% of the time having Rowling involved will keep it to the quality level we expect or at least go a long way in that direction. Should Hollywood make new original content yes! Absolutely but often it doesn't really make that much money because of our nostalgic "never grow up" mentality as a society. Hopefully, this will not only be a faithful good adaptation that expands the visual world of Harry Potter but ideally, the money will help fund original projects from WB as a company which honestly they are not even as bad about as some other big companies.
Yes but her book stories have already been shown on screen, why doesn't she just write new stories for a new harry potter tv show rather than rehashing her movies. I don't like reboots, new stories is what should be done.
My older sister is a massive Harry potter fan like myself and asked me what my thoughts were on it, I said I'm all for it and she agreed. I'm glad JK Rowling is being a part of it as it is her creation. Tom felton, Ralph fiennes and possibly Rupert grint all want to return.
My one rule with remakes is this: have a bloody purpose. The films skipped over lots of material, so a more patient book-accurate remake just makes sense.
The final result could be like this: Harry: white Ron: white Hermione: black Dumbledore: white Snape: black Hagrid: black Mcgonagall: white Draco: hispanic Neville: white Dean: black Seamus: white Lavender: black Cho: asian Padma and parvati: indian Lupin: black Sirius: white Moody: indian Kingsley: black Tonks: white Voldemort: white
I think a lot long-time HP fans like myself have mixed feelings on this idea. As someone who read and loved all of the books, I would love to see a 100% adaptation of them to movie/tv. There was so much missed in the movies (especially POA-yes, I’m still a little salty about it). I think a animated version would do really well, especially if they can get some of the original cast to agree to reprising their characters. That way, you don’t have to worry about kids aging and looking 40 years old when they should be 13. 1 episode per chapter, 1 season per book. But I am just so bored or remakes. Wait 10-20 years so you have a new generation to make them for, if you really want a remake.
I'm 34, i remember in the 90s when the first book came out and how huge it was. Many kids my age at the time started reading because of Harry Potter. During the scholastic book fair The Harry Potter books were the first to sale out. So hate on it but it did get kids to read which kids today don't they just stay in social media all day.
As a huge HP fan I'm just glad that Cursed Child is not being made. It was awful and retconned important points in the original books and was just full of lazy writing. As for the remake, ill watch it and I truly hope it is a better adaptation of the original books than the movies were, not that the movies were bad, but I have low expectations from HBO, who gave us Velma.
I am torn on this, I think from the third movie onwards the cuts they had to make in the movies were reasonable but it missed a lot. But the way tv shows have burned me will not be soon forgotten (GoT), the movies did a decent job with climax scenes. I would like the aspect of developing and exploring other factors more. Like the groups actual growing up experiences and bonding with outside the main 3- the classes, the exploring hogwarts, we can have more heartwarming moments. The harry potter books have a unique place in my heart since i was the same age when i was reading and experiencing these things, so it became my growing up story.
I like how the guys try to take a shot at Rupert by saying he's an out-of-work actor🤨 he doing a lot of acting, it's just not what it considers "mainstream"
I am literally just hoping that characters like Peeves, who were unable to make the movies due to how, take order of the phoenix, trying to fit 800+ pages into an 1.5 hour plus movie is almost impossible, so a bunch of characters and scenes were cut, so I am excited for those characters and scenes to have a chance to be seen. In 10 years, they will finally have the chance to make an appearance on the big screen… Also Peeves may or may not have been one of my favorite characters in HP, and I was upset that he was cut
I like the idea. Suggested it years ago in light of the atrocious way they handled things in the movies. Honestly I wanted an animated series because that is ageless. And they won't have any excuse not to faithfully adapt the books. 1 Season per year and yeah let's split Seventh year into two seasons to make the series an even Eight but adapt the books faithfully.
As long as they don’t make everyone trans, gay, and a different race than written in the books, I’m fine with a remake. I have no issue with minority characters in film, my problem is when the source material clearly stated that they were a white/straight man, and the woke directors turn the character into a transgender non-binary demisexual Dominican lesbian.
Lol as a book fan since the beginning, I can tell you: most of us are not happy with the movies. They left a TON out, and butchered Ron, Ginny, Sirius Black, and downplayed how nasty Snape is. Also they changed Voldemort’s death for no reason at all. We’ve been wanting a more faithful adaptation for yeeeeears. Hopefully they stick to their promise.
I'm definitely excited because they did leave out a lot in the movies but I'm also kinda scared that everyone will look different especially since I've literally seen Harry Potter fans saying that they would love to see a black Hermione ect, and it would make me beyond sad if they changed anyone's appearance because then they wouldn't be following the book at all, and they did such a good job with that in the movies and I'm tired of them all being changed because of diversity
Now, I think remakes (when done right) are actually great things. Especially in this particular situation. Remakes allow a studio to go back and fix some/most of the presented flaws that could be found in a series. The remake being a show adds to this because, depending on the length of a given episode, a season could run longer than a movie. This means that there is the ability to reintroduce cut content to the cinematic series. This effectively makes the series more book accurate.
@@RJMiller73 yes he is, he is 34. This is going to take 10 years and he fits the description pretty well thin and balding, Rupert has definitely lost some hair and gained some wrinkles lately
@candidchristian1465 Arthur Weasley was tall and balding with glasses and he was 41 years old in the beginning of the series and almost 50 at the end of the series. That’s not Rupert Grint.
@@ChelseaChfy-ex1po Rupert *Grint* is 35 it’s not that much of a stretch to 41 especially when they have 30 yo actors and actresses playing high schoolers in a lot of roles. Also his hair is definitely thinning
Where the books were written almost completely from Harry's point of view. With the series, I am excited to see the POV of multiple characters and their thorough background. Rowling's involvement actually makes me more excited.
I’m actually kind of excited for this. There’s a lot of material from the books that didn’t get covered in the movies that a show would just have more time to work with
Tbh I would actually like to see a reboot where the books are accurately covered, because this series is going to give the producers so much more time to cover what was in the books. The cons of this reboot are that they are probably gonna shove lgbt characters in where there previously were none and I've also heard that they are gonna make Hermione black. Imagine if Hermione were black and the books but was casted as white in the show, there would certainly be an uproar from the left. And honestly, I don't really care too much if Hermione is black as long as the show doesn't make it a big deal. In short i just don't want the new "diversity" of LGBT and non- white characters to take away from the original plot with some random add ins about their identity 😭
People only say that about Hermoine because the Cursed Child play cast Hermoine as a black woman. None of that actually comes from any information about the TV series.
The thing about so much of the book's story being left out of the film's, that's what separates the two art forms The books have more things going on which gives them their own appeal over the films And the films can use their bold direction and visual style to tell those stories on a much grander scale compared to the books There is a reason to check out both the book's and film's stories as neither overshadow the other So if they're making a TV show where they plan to cover more of the book's stories that was missed out on in the films and on a grand scale like the films because the line between TV show and films is so blurry nowadays, that bonus to check out the books and the films over each other is gone. Now it doesn't matter if you read the books because all the story is just there ready to watch nor does it matter to watch the films because they have less story points and because films and TV just look the same visually nowadays anyway. Longtime fans will always revisit the books and films, but when the show brings in new fans (which a franchise is supposed to do) they'll have little reason to see where it all began.
I agree and disagree? I think it depends. I read all the GOT books just because of the show! It looked good, I saw there was a book, and got through the first 4 before watching my first episode S4E1 (lucky for me I think this is the best season!) then I went back and watched seasons 1-3. Then I started getting mad around season 6 and would throw pillows at my tV
I usually prefer the reading the books of my favorite series. But for sharing my feelings about them with my significant other I really like a *faithful* screen adaptation. Because convincing her to watch something together is much easier than reading something solo...
If all the actors are on point and the sets are way more magical and special then the first one this will be a very great series! The story has so much more to offer!!
The movie adaptations of the first few books were fairly loyal to the entire story. Beginning with the fourth book, the adaptations were woefully incomplete. How does the Goblet of Fire story work without Winky? It cannot. Without Winky there is no explanation or even **clue** about Barty Crouch Jr.'s escape from Azkaban. Don't even get me started on Deathly Hallows and its criminal under-telling of the actual story.
Agreed, but to be fair, it is harder to adapt a book that's 1000 pages long as a 2 hour movie. I exaggerate, but you have to admit, books 4 through 7 were exceedingly long.
@@arinerm1331 Yeah, Deathly Hallows was an abomination, but then I have no respect for Yates. I don't know why he was allowed to direct so many when he couldn't even do the fifth correctly. I figure for a series, they'll need at least 20 episodes to do the 4th through 7th any justice at all. The first three could easily fit in 10 episodes. But that's only if they don't turn fully woke.
@@anon_y_mousse My thinking was that it may be one season per book; but rumors of 10 seasons should give us a much more complete accounting of the storylines from the books portrayed on the screen. I'm a huge fan, with some pretty odd theories on how some things happened; hopefully some of these will get attention. Example: How did Dumbledore always know what the Golden Trio were up to? It's easy: Chocolate Frog cards. Subjects of portraits, it is later revealed, can move from one to another of their own portraits, or to any other portrait in the building where their original is located. Dumbledore didn't mind that he was removed from the Wizengamot, or any of the other titles he lost, after GoF, "as long as they don't take me off the Chocolate Frog card." If they had, he might have lost his 'spyglass'.
@@arinerm1331 I'd bet that was her intent since I've always thought the same. If they expanded the story into 10 seasons, if they could keep it going that long, I would hope they'd be able to properly tell the whole story that way, but definitely I would expect a non-standard length for each season since it wouldn't make sense to have the first and seventh take the same length of time to tell.
@@anon_y_mousse Or the Half-Blood Prince story. That book was exceedingly complex with rich story, a whole **GOB** of which was missing from the movie. Marvolo and Morfin Gaunt, the origins of the ring and locket, the link to the Peverell family, etc., and that's just **ONE** of the memories the movie skipped to stay within budget.
From all the Reboots, this is the one I understand the most. The potential for a series to absolutely rock is huge, since the since just didn't have enough time :D I'm lookin' forward to it.
I’m honestly kinda hyped because the only way they could’ve properly adapted the books was in a longer form of media. I mean Jesus imagine a whole season dedicated to the goblet of fire!
I loved the books once I was old enough to read them and I am quite glad in a nostalgic way that the series is happening so more funny scenes make it (hopefully) to the series. Would I be happier if Marauders were made? Absolutely. Would I enjoy the creation of the Hogwarts series? Definitely. But this is ok too, will enjoy getting back into the child-like excitement all the same 😊
I like this, I actually want this badly provided they use the exact words in the books for the script. Obviously minus the narration part. We won't need it if we can see everything on screen.
I just want some new IP. As an example, John Wick was a breath of fresh air in 2014 AND continues to pay dividends today in the action movie franchise. I don't plan on watching this new Harry Potter TV series even though I am a huge fan of the IP, it's just an uninspired cash grab for royalty checks and new merchandise sales.
@@multiversal2023 More skeptical and pessimistic about its chances. I feel like Michael Corleone in The Godfather pt. 3; "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
@Shane Keena I know, but if they do do it properly, then that's what they should have done to begin with instead of the vastly watered-down films. Which i do really like
Why you're no negative? If you have read Harry Potter books then even you know that movie doesn't even carry 25% of the book portion + they made some big changes in the storyline. We do need this TV show. I'm a big big Harry Potter fan and I always wanted those books to be adapted in a television series.
I hope they will finally portray Ron as the fantastic character he is in books, also I love how these woketards are really angry about the reboot and that gives me life!!
I actually have some high hopes for a the concept of a reboot. The originals were, frankly, incredibly cheesy. They lacked any combat magic outside of blasting laser beams and yelling. Some good stuff in the newest ones, but all very short interactions. I would love to see higher budget CG, and more in depth storytelling. Obviously being woke af would ruin it but….
Lots of the film cast wants to come back, if not most of them. It's only the main characters that doesn't want to come back. Ron actually wants to come back as well.
if there is anyone who can do such a gigantic undertaking, i believe HBO is the most capable. I wish they had explored other wizarding world stories but since the movies didn't cover most of the story, we therefore missed out on so much. Having said that, it would be really hard to see new actors play those iconic roles. Who knows, maybe this will be the next GOT for HBO. (as long as they dont make it woke or politically correct and stay true to the source, it for sure is capable to surpass GOT)
To that TikTok guy, I actually think Rupert grint is currently the most successful of all of them. He's not out of work he juuuust did a movie. Daniel has had 2 things I've seen that weren't rubbing up nude on a horse. Emma obviously had wild success, but didn't like the Harry Potter role being so pervasive in her life and eventually stepped away from acting altogether. But case in point, grint is not struggling, or out of work. He's been a voice actor for shows I watch as a guest star and like I said was just part of a big movie
I am one of those people who doesn't like the movies and and am happy that Dan and Emma said no (if that actually happened) because they were terrible actors. I've always thought Harry Potter would've been better served as a television series. You can do one book per season and actually include all the important bits that the movies left out. That being said, I don't have high hopes for this series because I'm sure they'll change things to be more "diverse" and "inclusive."
Maybe we can get a better cast for some of the characters, and more scenes that were not included in the movie. So maybe there are some positive aspects. But there definitely is reason to worry
To be fair, the original films were NOT faithful to the books. Quidditch disappeared almost completely after the first few films, entire sequences of the 5th and especially 6th books disappeared or were glossed over. I haven't watched them recently and could undoubtedly come up with a host of more things that were missing or changed over the course of the 8 films. The thing is, for long/complicated books (Lord of the RIngs, Harry Potter, etc) that have a lot of world-building and events transpire, they just naturally translate better into a TV show than a film series because you inevitably have to cut things out in order to do it. So I am all for a HP reboot. This isn't a movie being remade as a movie, like most of what we're dealing with. This is a movie being turned into a TV show, which is very different. Also, while the final film released 12 years ago, the first film released 22 years ago. This can provide a whole new generation of children with an adaptation of an awesome series that also provides all the technological advancements we've made over the last 2 decades. Or have we forgotten how ridiculous Hermione looked after she ate essence of Millicent (polyjuice potion)? If JK Rowling can keep a tight leash on WB/HBO, then I think this could be a very good thing and I'm tentatively excited to find out.
As a guy who DISLIKES most the movies, I like that this series is getting a reboot. And since it's a TV series, HP can do what Game of Thrones couldn't. Actually be successful if done right!
Since we are totally cool with changing the authors words/narratives in their books now a days, can we please change Dumbledore back to a awesome straight guy!? Rather than keeping him all tangled and intertwined in a femmie gay love story!? That would be so GREAT!! :)🙌🏻
It kinda makes sense: instead of a 90 minute movie for the first book, you can do a 4 * 40 minutes miniseries, that way you don't cut any element from the books (like certain ghosts), and given that each subsequent book is longer than the previous one, you can add one episode per series: season 2 - 5 episodes, season 3 - 6 episodes, etc.
Please, no race swaps, no random changes to sexuality or gender. Just keep the characters how they are. That's my only ask for the show.
25th like
Leftists: NO!
This is impossible in Hollywood these days.
Big ask
Yeah... Not gonna happen my dude. The best thing you can do is to not watch the show. If enough people do that than they'll end up canceling it and we won't have to see it anymore
As a Harry Potter fan I feel I need to point out that despite the movies as a whole being a pretty good adaptation their are a few points that were done terribly or changed for no good reason for example making Ron an idiot, giving Harry and Ron smarter moments e.g. Hermione being completely calm when they get pass fluffy while in the books Ron was the calm one who had to remind Hermione that she had a wand and didn't need firewood. Not to mention the complete butchering of the half-blood prince making it a rom com with bad jokes and removed most of Voldemort memory scenes and removing the fight between the deatheaters and the order of the Phoenix.
Goblet of Fire was sabotaged by a despicable director who will not be named. And then David Yates came in and slowly killed the rest of the series with mostly tv-style directing.
Ya and how Ginny had the emotions of a brick 😂 I also wish they put more time into coaching the kids on acting because they sucked and most of them still aren’t good actors. Unpopular opinion but Emma Watson isn’t a good actress
I agree. I would love to see this series as long as it's well done abs true to the books. Sounds like it should be. I like the movies, but I think the world she created deserves a longer format.
And for some reason in the movies, a 12 year old Hermione already knew offensive wizard slang, "mudblood", even though she was raised in the Muggle world by Muggle parents. In the book, Hermione could only tell it was offensive by everyone's reactions, but didn't know what it meant. It was Ron who explained it. Most of Ron's good lines were given to Hermione.
Fixing Goblet of Fire and Half-Blood Prince would be really nice. I think not having Steve Kloves, the Hermione fanboy, as screenwriter, could fix Ron and Hermione's realtionship and allow for more with Harry and Ginny
I’m a HUGE Harry Potter fan and I’m torn with this. Part of me is excited that there’s an opportunity to expand on what the films weren’t able to include, but the other part wants it to be left alone. I reeeally would prefer to see something original like a Marauder’s series or even exploring Beauxbatons.🦋
The CEO of Warner Bros, David Zazlov, is very much anti-woke and wants to make a profit and win over true Harry Potter fans, and Warner Bros. is losing a ton of money from their previous hyper-woke management, including Ann Sarnoff and Walter Hamada. However, Zazlov also allowed Velma to premiere and didn't ax Ezra Miller from The Flash, also.
So there's no telling if this new series will be good because WB needs the money, or another disaster that should've never been made.
Exploring Beauxbatons (and the other schools) is a great idea
@@f4gsforpele Right?? A great way to expand the wizarding world in my opinion!
😲😲😲 The Marauders Series will be Awesome. They had better adventures and their story is fascinating
I'm excited about it! I could be wrong, but if I am, I'll just... stop watching it. The good thing about a series is that it can explore other schools and other time periods via flashback episodes, backstory episodes, etc. We'll see where it goes. 🤷🏻♀️
A lot of people are trying to make Hermione "canonically" black already over the last few years due to the cursed child and her frizzy hair in the books. In the books she is described as being extremely pale when scared and being tan after a vacation which shows she's white, but I digress... because of people already trying to make her black, what do you want to bet this series is going to do that too?
Exactly. Like that cleopatra documentary that’s on Netflix.
I don't care about race swapping but I just don't want Americanism. The cast should predominantly be British or Irish
Why is hermione being black an issue? You losers 😂
Wait till you find out people have been trying to make Harry Indian
@@LolLololol-m1i did you read what I said? The problem is that she isn't black in the book even though people say she was lol. The problem is going back to change an established character decades later. Having a black character isn't a problem. Hitting the redo button on a character is
This will either be one of the greatest TV events of all time, or a MASSIVE flop. Expectations will be too high for it to be otherwise.
One extreme or the other. In this day and age no room for middleground.
Truee
look at mario massive turn out because it was really good hopefully jk and WB nail another HP series
Yeah. It could theoretically be great.
@MCash23 I hope they draw inspiration from Andor. And take their time. Just honor the source material and don't rush anything.
I feel like as soon as casting is released, we will know if this is going to be the amazing (true to book) adaptation that fans want or just another woke take over. Hopefully JKR being involved will be a saving grace.
My assumption is that the main 3 kids won't be race bent at all, because WB understands that they will kill their viewership with that decision. But they will have a lot of side characters cast as racially diverse, probably way more than what you would typically see at a school in England that is 83% white (especially in the 1990's). However, JKR did give the green light for the Cursed Child play to have Hermoine as a black woman, although Hermoine is described as being white and pale in the books. Then she later made Dumbledore gay, because why not.
@@JRF32100 the pale skin line was removed in newer versions of the books
@@JRF32100 dumbledore being gay was revealed by jo in 2007, at the last book's release. a lot of ppl thought she just recently and randomly made him gay, it's kinda annoying.

@@viridian8786 when she has a black eye she is also described as looking like a panda. Which is to say that her face is white with dark circles around her eye. Doesn’t matter what they do in the new releases, all of the other books still exist and their words live forever. There are also the many JKR approved sketches and art of the kids with Hermoine being white.
@@JRF32100 wow
Snape and Hagrid are really the only two I will have a hard time accepting a new casting for. I think the OG cast is great, but those two for sure will be a tough pill to swallow.

@@Hysza definitely
@@lizzierose3066 He isn’t British
The problem is not with diverse character from the book. The problem will be the diverse characters will be pushed to the front lines & have more screentime than the book actually requires. They already have diversity in the books . It depends how they choose to use them.
Hopefully they won't do that and they'll adapt the books to screen faithfully.
But I honestly wish they would tell a new story in the Hogwarts world
@@voluntarism335 I'm torn because on one hand, the fact they're looking to do a faithful adaptation of the books railroads them quite a lot and massively limits the amount of woke shit they can force into it because it simply wasn't a thing the books were concerned with. There was diversity there but it was a far more natural feeling diversity and was largely representative of what the audience interacted with in the real world at the time. If they did a new story there is no reason they can't make it woke because it's new and they can put whatever they want in it so on that front, committing to a faithful adaptation is the safest option.
On the other hand, it would be great to see a marauders series to get a view into that previous generation of witches/wizards. Ultimately, given the apparent need for producers to shoehorn as many politically-driven features into things nowadays, I'd prefer a faithful adaptation to a story we're already familiar with but bringing to life the details that had to be left out in the original movies than a new story that could end up as a black mark on the franchise (look at what the sequels did to Star Wars or what Rings of Power did to Lord of the Rings for example)
@@jcmorgan26 If they do an adaptation they need to deepfake the original actors/actresses and/or have them reprise their roles.
I want to see how this goes because I want justice for Ron and Ginny's characters, sassy Harry Potter, and, more importantly, Dumbledore being calm. And as long as she sticks to what she did with casting in the movie (matching the characters with the book) and putting her foot down to be faithful (and add more elements to progress the story further while staying true to the embodiment of Harry Potter, like I want to see more of characters of different houses, especially in Slytherin than just Draco and his gang), then I'm fine. I might watch it because some people are in enrage. But honestly, I wanted a Founders movie or show; I want to know more about Salazar Slytherin or maybe a Marauder show; I am interested in the Black Family (Regulus). Or to explore more of the Wizarding World in England.
@@Dreamwitch_ 🤣🤣🤣
Exactly. I think all the fake outrage is unwarranted. Actually potter fan WANT a TV show
@@unscripted483 I've wanted one since I read the books because I'm tired of arguing about Ron's character. Honestly, I wanted an animation adaption like done Atla-style.

@Key- S I'd like to see better actors in the 3 main roles.
I really want a Tom Riddle backstory, of like more in depth about how he got to Hogwarts, how he started down the wrong path, maybe his journey to create the horcruxes. That would be dope.
Or one about the marauders!!!

They can make a REALLY solid adaptation that has a strong sense of place. The Hogwarts Legacy game was incredible at this, if you basically never fast-travel places and make an effort to learn the castle. The geometry of the setting is important to me, and one of the aspects many are overlooking, like Wednesday.

To piggyback off Brett's final statement, I also highly agree that doing a series is genius since they can now try to include all of the minute details that were left off the movies due to runtime constraints. I for one am extremely excited for this series.
They can even add things that aren't in the books, but Rowling put on Pottermore.

I've actually wanted Harry Potter to be a TV series for a long time. As good as the movies were, the books were so much better because of how much more you get of the story. They had to cut quite a lot out that were in the books in making the movies. If I were in charge of a Harry Potter TV series, I would make the first season entirely the first book, the second season the second book, etc., and I would follow the books so closely, that the first episode would end with Hagrid busting the door down of the shack where the Dursleys and Harry were. You'd see a sillouette of his massive form and then he'd step out from the shadows, and say to the frightened Dursleys, "Couldn’t make us a cup o’ tea, could yeh? It’s not been an easy journey....", and then the credits would roll.
I'm a genuine fan of the books more so than the movies. I'm excited to see everything that wasn't covered in the movies, like all the holiday events in every book. Books just translate better in a TV series than in movies bc they have more time to cover everything. I'm excited. It's a great franchise.
Totally agree
I was just gonna say this!
Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Allan Rickman, and so on and so forth will always be their characters in my mind. The original actors are just so synonymous with the characters now.
As a big fan of the books and knowing that this is supposed to follow the books a lot more closely and include things that got cut… I’m kind of excited.
I hope they keep this British and true to the books. I enjoyed the films but I am more of,a book fan due to the sheer volume of stuff they missed out like S.P.E.W and peeves
didn't fact check or anything, but i believe i saw somewhere jk rowling is adamant about the cast being from the uk
@@idk_why_cant_i_just_be_idk it was one of her condition for the movies. so, i think it would be one of her condition in doing this tv series.

Ong true , the additional hate if they ain't even the same race... I hope they don't add any asian characters which just seems odd given their place and 1700s where internation immigration was rather very uncommon . I say this as an Indian so no woke can cancel me lol
@@infinity002arry potter takes place in 1991
Here’s a harsh reality
It’s not going to include everything that the movies left out and it’s not going to dive into the backstory of every character like alot of fans wanted
Another harsh reality
The stuff that was left out of the movies wasn’t plot related, which is why it was left out and the same thing is going to happen with the series
It’s going to be 10 episodes long per book so there’s no way they can include everything
Harry Potter was a bit of new IP that Hollywood lacked. Now, it's becoming stretched beyond recognition for royalties and merchandise sales.
What we need is the same kind of fresh air today, and I am working on it now with a handful of projects of my own.
"The stuff that was left out of the movies wasn’t plot related" That's just not true, a lot of plot and character relevant events have been omitted or heavily streamlined in the films, with GoF and HBP being the worst in that regard. Easy examples would be the heavily butchered backstory of Riddle - which made the reveal of Hufflepuff's cup and Harry identifying it completely random (amongst other things) - the whole situation with Ravenclaw's diadem or Rita Skeeter being an Animagus; but there are many more.
So yes, while even a TV adaptation like this can't include every single detail of the day to day Hogwarts life, it can definitely nail the important bits and finally "fix" the exclusion of a lot of characters - e.g. Winky or Peeves - expand on the ones that just came out of nowhere in the films - e.g. Bill - give others the proper arc they deserve - e.g. Ginny, Neville, the "Lupin's" and Kreacher - and most importantly include all the missing storylines.
The question that remains to be answered is whether or not they can pull it off. HBO does have a pretty good track record with adaptations though, as long as they have source material to follow.
@@appetizingly ok I’ll revise what I said
They aren’t plot essential
Not including certain details of the plot in the movies didn’t derail the story and also things in books don’t translate to film smoothly
Which is why some books are impossible to adapt into a movie (blood meridian for example)
My point is though is I think most fans are expecting too much of this series in terms of added details
@@appetizingly The broken mirror was the biggest single plot point messed up in the movies. This broken piece of mirror just appears in the movie an saves them from the basement. You need to have read the book to understand where that even came from. But the base point of the whole story, spelled out in Harrys speach in the final fight scene is missing so much context that people who only watched the movies see the story completely diffrent than book readers.
They can and will and they are going to. A 10 year deal that will include everything, following every character until muliple storylines. Each season will be a different year. Everything from the book, Pottermore, and other stuff, will be included in the series. Then and now. It will be a huge heavy series packed with diverse information.....well that's thier plan anyway.
I agree that if you want all the details then read the books, however I also love seeing what I've read played out on screen which is why I'm excited for the series to finally be able to include everything that was missing from the movies creating so many holes in the story, plus getting to see favorite characters from the books that were not included in the movies such as winky and peeves.
I have two things about this:
1) I didn't particularly like the movie adaptations past the PofA one (I didn't really like movies 1-3 either but that's a different matter), therefore I'm so excited to hear that a long-term tv adaptation is coming out that will be more faithful to the book details. My friends and family literally can't wrap their heads around why I'm so excited.
2) I kinda want Maggie Smith to make at least a brief appearance. I get why she might not but she's a great actress and I really love her work, particularly in HP. I will also miss Alan Rickman and Robbie Coltrane (R.I.P.).
I will forever adore the book series and the Wizarding World. Can people please stop ruining my favourite childhood nostalgia over screwed up chronically online politics that most of the world doesn't give a shit about?
If it is done properly, This show could be amazing. If it isn't it will be a huge black mark on the franchise like the Star Wars sequel trilogy or the Amazon Rings of Power series. The fact they appear to be putting a lot of emphasis on it being faithful to the books gives me hope (as does the inclusion of J.K. Rowling which will hopefully stop them making too many "creative decisions") but I've not seen nearly enough to be confident it will be a good show that we should support yet
I'm making a prediction: Hermione will be black and Harry some other non-white or mixed race.
Draco will be gay (for Harry). Also Lupin and Sirius will be a couple, so Tonks will probably be a lesbian.
The elves will all want to be freed, unlike in the books where they were largely against interference.
Ginny will probably be Bi, as will at least one of the twins.
Dumbledore will either be wearing a pride flag as a robe, or will have one in his office.
S.P.E.W. will exist and be a main focal point, and heavily different from the books.
There will be at least one boy wearing the girl's uniform in the background of most any scene. He will also be in the girls dorm if its ever shown, and the stairs won't reject him bc ofc not.
I don't care about race swapping but I just don't want Americanism. The cast should predominantly be British or Irish
god I fucking hope not
@@PR7-82 race swapping so stupid. Plus the original cast of characters in the books is already diverse.
Three things which disappointed me about the original movie run was the lack of Peeves, Quidditch being shoved to the sideline, and (minor, but forgivable) the Dursleys disappearing even though they did have deleted scenes. They looked so miserable. One thing I'm _glad_ they left out from the book was Percy's betrayal to the family when becoming Fudge's suck up Yes Man.
Now as a formerly obsessed fan of the books/movies (now just casual. I've branched out!) I just hope they don't keep milking this franchise for the next 30 years. It'll lose its steam and become the next _Smurfs_ which... might still have fans ... but for the most part largely ignored by the populous.
I am frankly excited for this series, and let me explain why. I prefer the book series over the movies! I remembered watching after reading the books and thought "Oh, I wished that they added this and this and this on to the movie, because some of this would explain so much". Granted, I am aware of the budget and time while filming movies and I was glad that they put the last book into 2 movies, but still left out a few things. And I have been wanting a TV series of Harry Potter forever and didn't care if it is live action or anime! There is soooo many opportunities that this series can do what the movies can't! I would love the series introduced Peeves, Peeves was only mentioned in the first movie. I would loved to see Nick's Deathday Party. I would loved to see Winky and Hermiones passion of SPEW(if you had read the series, you know...), Professor Binns teaching of History of Magic. Some of this and more was never shown in the movies but some were in the video game of Hogwarts Legacy! I would also like to see an expansion of the Wizarding World, Like Founders of Hogwarts, Merlin's time at Hogwarts, Lily and James and the rest of the Mauraders years in Hogwarts and time up to the time he dies. I would love all of it
I should add that TV series from nearly any book series have a better success rate for fans, than if was of a movie or a TV adaptation to a movie. Game of Thrones, I am glad that they made a TV series than making a movie of Song of Ice and Fire. Walking Dead started off as a comic book series, became one of the biggest TV series for a few years, if it was in the theatres, it would be just another zombie movie! Imagine that they just stuck with a movie series If you want to go further back, Buffy the Vampire Slayer was a movie and it bombed...big! But became the most watched series of it's time and still have a cult following. I should also add that Disney+ is releasing a TV series of Percy Jackson and the Olympians(I know Disney+, most likely going to be woke af, but I think I'll watch it anyways), there were many books in this series and only came out with 3 movies. Now let's talk about Chronicles of Narnia, they only made 3 (4 movies in total) movies and there are 7 books and made Lion The Witch and the Wardrobe 2 times(one was animated and done in the 70s). I would be excited for a TV series if they decide they go that route.
I wonder if that's what this series is for, to see how much "brand fatigue" there is related to Harry Potter. If it does well, we could very well see more time periods in the Wizarding World. Personally, I'm still hoping for that Aurors trailer that IGN made as an April Fools Day prank in 2011.
Well, Riordan promised to make sure the new Percy Jackson isn't such a pathetic failure as the movies were
"it turns the other way"
McGonagall to peeves. XD
I wish I could enjoy books like others do. There’s just so much to cram into a 1.5-3 hr movie, and there’s no way to tell the complete story that way. Unfortunately, I get too side tracked, and forget what I read. I can’t explain it. If I’m reading to learn something I can remember, but when it’s in a story format my brain shuts off.
@@AresGod0fWar You can use audiobooks. I subscribed to audible
"What the #uck Harry?" Dumbledore asked calmly
To be fair, spite against Radcliffe and Watson may have been a (however slight or major we can't know) motivator, they threw her under the bus for woke points, her, the woman they have to thank for their careers, their fame and pretty much everything they have
That's their generation for you.
Watson doesn't have to thank Rowling for anything. Rowling didn't want Watson to be cast as Hermione. She thought Emma was too pretty. Radcliffe, on the other hand, did have Rowling batting in his corner strictly from an aesthetic standpoint. Otherwise, they owe their careers to their own acting chops and their proactive auditioning efforts.
@@mel3687 Except for, if she hadn't written the books and the movies weren't made, they'd have never made millions or became household names. They weren't particularly good child actors. It was JKR's story that was the hit and people grew to like the actors, but the movies would have succeeded just the same if they'd cast other children. So yeah, they do owe her everything they have. Her story made them famous, not their acting ability. Their acting was actually pretty bad until maybe the Goblet a fire. Azcaban if you're being generous.
@@Swearengen1980 Oh, how prescient of you! I didn't know you possessed a crystal ball. In reality, they could've landed other roles that delivered the same professional success within their industry, though perhaps not at such a meteoric pace. Point being, it was their skill that got them the job, not the books or the author of the books. Yes? They owe Rowling no more than any actor owes any screenplay writer.
Otherwise, it would be fair to say that you owe your life's accomplishments to every serendipitous encounter or event in your life and that they were not earned but fated. Are you a fatalist then, Adam? 🤨
@@Swearengen1980 P.S. Warner Brothers initially wanted to cast Haley Joel Osment as Harry Potter. You're saying that the films would have performed just as well regardless of cast. But imagine an American Harry Potter. Not quite so appealing or authentic, eh? So casting made *all* the difference. (Why do you think fans were in such a rage over the casting of Umbridge? She deviated too much from the books and so, something was lost)

I kinda agree with that last guy. The movies were good, but I always thought they would have been more amazing as a long term series. It is a reboot in a sense, but seeing as so much was cut out of the movies I tend to think of it more as it being done now the way it should have been. A true adaptation for lovers of the books.
I am actually very hopeful that this works out. I mean with ot being a tv series, they will have so much more time to explore the story much deeper.
Of coarse it could go very wrong, but still... i am rooting for it.
I'm actually kinda excited for this! I do agree that remakes mostly are just lazy content, but sometimes they can actually be great. A few years ago Netflix released a show based on one of my favorite book series, A Series of Unfortunate Events, they worked closely with the author and actually added new elements to the story and gave us more context to some things, so maybe HBO and JKR will do the same and answer some questions that were left unanswered in the books. Whatever it's gonna be, I'll watch it cause the movies didn't do the books any justice. Of course I'd like to see a completely new story more than this, but there's a high chance this could be epic, especially if they gave us new information about the characters like Dumbledore for instance.
This will benefit Goblet of Fire and Half Blood Prince as alot was cut from those. Could be great if the casting is good.

Robbie and Allan are just two of the people that cannot be replaced. I just do not want this to now become woke.
Without having watched it I know it’s going to be ultra woke.
Exactly. They will make Draco f.. with Harry or other character.
@I Bully Woketards
Considering the woke have turned on JK Rowling, Hogwarts Legacy was a massive success, and Warner Bros desperately needs money right now, I'd say you might be surprised yet. 2023 seems to be the year that people are finally learning that the most profitable thing is the opposite of woke.
The subject matter here doesn't lend itself for a need to be woke. The original films already had a very diverse cast, so no reason to change much.
No, it won't. They have already made it very clear that it will stick to the source material and be faithful to the books.
@@RSvids1012 The books had a diverse cast. If you can actually read English you know that not all the characters are white or even heterosexual. It's all in the context clues.
The Harry Potter movie series is a timeless classic even without being completely book accurate.

@@shilliamwakespeare Adam Driver for Snape!!!
personally i'm really excited for this I felt the films although fun didn't quite do the books justice simply coz they were rushed out before the books were even finished which left a lot of gaps in the story which had they just waited for the books to be finished they might have been better. and also now don't get me wrong I LOVE AR as Snape but I thought he didn't do the character justice as he was described in the book. and please NOTE I was a MAJOR Rickman fan in school, I literally had a folder with pictures of him in it that i carried around with me everywhere. that's how crazy i was about him.
I am definitely looking forward to this show! TV Adaptations are just better quality 98% of the time having Rowling involved will keep it to the quality level we expect or at least go a long way in that direction. Should Hollywood make new original content yes! Absolutely but often it doesn't really make that much money because of our nostalgic "never grow up" mentality as a society. Hopefully, this will not only be a faithful good adaptation that expands the visual world of Harry Potter but ideally, the money will help fund original projects from WB as a company which honestly they are not even as bad about as some other big companies.
Yes but her book stories have already been shown on screen, why doesn't she just write new stories for a new harry potter tv show rather than rehashing her movies.
I don't like reboots, new stories is what should be done.
My older sister is a massive Harry potter fan like myself and asked me what my thoughts were on it, I said I'm all for it and she agreed. I'm glad JK Rowling is being a part of it as it is her creation. Tom felton, Ralph fiennes and possibly Rupert grint all want to return.
My one rule with remakes is this: have a bloody purpose. The films skipped over lots of material, so a more patient book-accurate remake just makes sense.
The final result could be like this:
Harry: white
Ron: white
Hermione: black
Dumbledore: white
Snape: black
Hagrid: black
Mcgonagall: white
Draco: hispanic
Neville: white
Dean: black
Seamus: white
Lavender: black
Cho: asian
Padma and parvati: indian
Lupin: black
Sirius: white
Moody: indian
Kingsley: black
Tonks: white
Voldemort: white
Parvati and padma are Indian thought
I think a lot long-time HP fans like myself have mixed feelings on this idea. As someone who read and loved all of the books, I would love to see a 100% adaptation of them to movie/tv. There was so much missed in the movies (especially POA-yes, I’m still a little salty about it). I think a animated version would do really well, especially if they can get some of the original cast to agree to reprising their characters. That way, you don’t have to worry about kids aging and looking 40 years old when they should be 13. 1 episode per chapter, 1 season per book. But I am just so bored or remakes. Wait 10-20 years so you have a new generation to make them for, if you really want a remake.
I'm 34, i remember in the 90s when the first book came out and how huge it was. Many kids my age at the time started reading because of Harry Potter. During the scholastic book fair The Harry Potter books were the first to sale out. So hate on it but it did get kids to read which kids today don't they just stay in social media all day.
Hi Brett I’m new here and I really love your content! It’s very entertaining and very infomercial! I’m happy that I saw your channel!
They are doing this because they left out a lot of details out of the movie
As a huge HP fan I'm just glad that Cursed Child is not being made. It was awful and retconned important points in the original books and was just full of lazy writing. As for the remake, ill watch it and I truly hope it is a better adaptation of the original books than the movies were, not that the movies were bad, but I have low expectations from HBO, who gave us Velma.
Only thing I like about the cursed child was Draco and his son Scorpius
I am torn on this, I think from the third movie onwards the cuts they had to make in the movies were reasonable but it missed a lot. But the way tv shows have burned me will not be soon forgotten (GoT), the movies did a decent job with climax scenes. I would like the aspect of developing and exploring other factors more. Like the groups actual growing up experiences and bonding with outside the main 3- the classes, the exploring hogwarts, we can have more heartwarming moments. The harry potter books have a unique place in my heart since i was the same age when i was reading and experiencing these things, so it became my growing up story.
I like how the guys try to take a shot at Rupert by saying he's an out-of-work actor🤨 he doing a lot of acting, it's just not what it considers "mainstream"
I know right, he has money so he can work for passion and can spend time with family and friends. If that is an out of work actor than sign me up 😂
Exactly. Lol his show called servant on Apple TV was incredible.
I am literally just hoping that characters like Peeves, who were unable to make the movies due to how, take order of the phoenix, trying to fit 800+ pages into an 1.5 hour plus movie is almost impossible, so a bunch of characters and scenes were cut, so I am excited for those characters and scenes to have a chance to be seen. In 10 years, they will finally have the chance to make an appearance on the big screen…
Also Peeves may or may not have been one of my favorite characters in HP, and I was upset that he was cut
I like the idea. Suggested it years ago in light of the atrocious way they handled things in the movies. Honestly I wanted an animated series because that is ageless. And they won't have any excuse not to faithfully adapt the books. 1 Season per year and yeah let's split Seventh year into two seasons to make the series an even Eight but adapt the books faithfully.
As long as they don’t make everyone trans, gay, and a different race than written in the books, I’m fine with a remake. I have no issue with minority characters in film, my problem is when the source material clearly stated that they were a white/straight man, and the woke directors turn the character into a transgender non-binary demisexual Dominican lesbian.
Harry Potter and the Battle of the Alphabet Mafia: coming soon 💀
Clever. Needs more likes
@@NauticalTurtle 💜
Lol as a book fan since the beginning, I can tell you: most of us are not happy with the movies. They left a TON out, and butchered Ron, Ginny, Sirius Black, and downplayed how nasty Snape is. Also they changed Voldemort’s death for no reason at all.
We’ve been wanting a more faithful adaptation for yeeeeears. Hopefully they stick to their promise.
I'm definitely excited because they did leave out a lot in the movies but I'm also kinda scared that everyone will look different especially since I've literally seen Harry Potter fans saying that they would love to see a black Hermione ect, and it would make me beyond sad if they changed anyone's appearance because then they wouldn't be following the book at all, and they did such a good job with that in the movies and I'm tired of them all being changed because of diversity
I don't care about race swapping but I just don't want Americanism. The cast should predominantly be British or Irish
Now, I think remakes (when done right) are actually great things. Especially in this particular situation. Remakes allow a studio to go back and fix some/most of the presented flaws that could be found in a series. The remake being a show adds to this because, depending on the length of a given episode, a season could run longer than a movie. This means that there is the ability to reintroduce cut content to the cinematic series. This effectively makes the series more book accurate.
What if Rupert Grint plays Arthur Weasley in the TV series 😂😂
Or Charlie
He’s not old enough.
@@RJMiller73 yes he is, he is 34. This is going to take 10 years and he fits the description pretty well thin and balding, Rupert has definitely lost some hair and gained some wrinkles lately
@candidchristian1465 Arthur Weasley was tall and balding with glasses and he was 41 years old in the beginning of the series and almost 50 at the end of the series. That’s not Rupert Grint.

Where the books were written almost completely from Harry's point of view. With the series, I am excited to see the POV of multiple characters and their thorough background. Rowling's involvement actually makes me more excited.
I’m actually kind of excited for this. There’s a lot of material from the books that didn’t get covered in the movies that a show would just have more time to work with
Tbh I would actually like to see a reboot where the books are accurately covered, because this series is going to give the producers so much more time to cover what was in the books.
The cons of this reboot are that they are probably gonna shove lgbt characters in where there previously were none and I've also heard that they are gonna make Hermione black. Imagine if Hermione were black and the books but was casted as white in the show, there would certainly be an uproar from the left. And honestly, I don't really care too much if Hermione is black as long as the show doesn't make it a big deal. In short i just don't want the new "diversity" of LGBT and non- white characters to take away from the original plot with some random add ins about their identity 😭
People only say that about Hermoine because the Cursed Child play cast Hermoine as a black woman. None of that actually comes from any information about the TV series.
I don't care about race swapping but I just don't want Americanism. The cast should predominantly be British or Irish
Honestly I'm happy there's gonna be a remake. Movies didn't really do justice to the story + Radcliffe was a huge miscast since the fifth one.
The thing about so much of the book's story being left out of the film's, that's what separates the two art forms
The books have more things going on which gives them their own appeal over the films
And the films can use their bold direction and visual style to tell those stories on a much grander scale compared to the books
There is a reason to check out both the book's and film's stories as neither overshadow the other
So if they're making a TV show where they plan to cover more of the book's stories that was missed out on in the films and on a grand scale like the films because the line between TV show and films is so blurry nowadays, that bonus to check out the books and the films over each other is gone. Now it doesn't matter if you read the books because all the story is just there ready to watch nor does it matter to watch the films because they have less story points and because films and TV just look the same visually nowadays anyway. Longtime fans will always revisit the books and films, but when the show brings in new fans (which a franchise is supposed to do) they'll have little reason to see where it all began.
I agree and disagree? I think it depends. I read all the GOT books just because of the show! It looked good, I saw there was a book, and got through the first 4 before watching my first episode S4E1 (lucky for me I think this is the best season!) then I went back and watched seasons 1-3. Then I started getting mad around season 6 and would throw pillows at my tV
As long as they don't make Harry a gay, brown character, I'm fine with it.
I'm interested in it, because I don't like watching movies, and I'm glad Jk is involved ❤️
I usually prefer the reading the books of my favorite series. But for sharing my feelings about them with my significant other I really like a *faithful* screen adaptation. Because convincing her to watch something together is much easier than reading something solo...
If I’m going to be frank. Harry Potter should have only been a TV series. I’m actually excited for this one in particular.
This just ridiculous, I'm sick of "trans" ppl painting her as a villain because she believes in protecting abused WOMEN.
I am sick of all the remakes but at the same time I'm really excited about this one. I'm hoping the put Peeves into he new series.
If all the actors are on point and the sets are way more magical and special then the first one this will be a very great series! The story has so much more to offer!!
The movie adaptations of the first few books were fairly loyal to the entire story. Beginning with the fourth book, the adaptations were woefully incomplete. How does the Goblet of Fire story work without Winky? It cannot. Without Winky there is no explanation or even **clue** about Barty Crouch Jr.'s escape from Azkaban. Don't even get me started on Deathly Hallows and its criminal under-telling of the actual story.
Agreed, but to be fair, it is harder to adapt a book that's 1000 pages long as a 2 hour movie. I exaggerate, but you have to admit, books 4 through 7 were exceedingly long.
@@arinerm1331 Yeah, Deathly Hallows was an abomination, but then I have no respect for Yates. I don't know why he was allowed to direct so many when he couldn't even do the fifth correctly. I figure for a series, they'll need at least 20 episodes to do the 4th through 7th any justice at all. The first three could easily fit in 10 episodes. But that's only if they don't turn fully woke.
@@anon_y_mousse My thinking was that it may be one season per book; but rumors of 10 seasons should give us a much more complete accounting of the storylines from the books portrayed on the screen. I'm a huge fan, with some pretty odd theories on how some things happened; hopefully some of these will get attention.
Example: How did Dumbledore always know what the Golden Trio were up to? It's easy: Chocolate Frog cards. Subjects of portraits, it is later revealed, can move from one to another of their own portraits, or to any other portrait in the building where their original is located. Dumbledore didn't mind that he was removed from the Wizengamot, or any of the other titles he lost, after GoF, "as long as they don't take me off the Chocolate Frog card." If they had, he might have lost his 'spyglass'.
@@arinerm1331 I'd bet that was her intent since I've always thought the same. If they expanded the story into 10 seasons, if they could keep it going that long, I would hope they'd be able to properly tell the whole story that way, but definitely I would expect a non-standard length for each season since it wouldn't make sense to have the first and seventh take the same length of time to tell.
@@anon_y_mousse Or the Half-Blood Prince story. That book was exceedingly complex with rich story, a whole **GOB** of which was missing from the movie. Marvolo and Morfin Gaunt, the origins of the ring and locket, the link to the Peverell family, etc., and that's just **ONE** of the memories the movie skipped to stay within budget.
Cant wait to see Hagrid and Dumbledore make 30 minute long hot magical love to inspire and “reflect the modern audience”
I can not wait! I was rereading the series last year and thought I wish there was a TV series so we could go much deeper into the books.
4:35- Despite the fact that J.K. Rawling WAS THE ONE WHO JUMP-STARTED YOUR CAREER IN THE FIRST PLACE WITH HER BOOKS?!?!
From all the Reboots, this is the one I understand the most. The potential for a series to absolutely rock is huge, since the since just didn't have enough time :D I'm lookin' forward to it.
That’s going to be a mess
I’m honestly kinda hyped because the only way they could’ve properly adapted the books was in a longer form of media. I mean Jesus imagine a whole season dedicated to the goblet of fire!
I loved the books once I was old enough to read them and I am quite glad in a nostalgic way that the series is happening so more funny scenes make it (hopefully) to the series. Would I be happier if Marauders were made? Absolutely.
Would I enjoy the creation of the Hogwarts series? Definitely. But this is ok too, will enjoy getting back into the child-like excitement all the same 😊
This is the one reboot I am 100% going to watch. There aren't very many magic TV shows out on the market
I like this, I actually want this badly provided they use the exact words in the books for the script.
Obviously minus the narration part. We won't need it if we can see everything on screen.
I just want some new IP. As an example, John Wick was a breath of fresh air in 2014 AND continues to pay dividends today in the action movie franchise.
I don't plan on watching this new Harry Potter TV series even though I am a huge fan of the IP, it's just an uninspired cash grab for royalty checks and new merchandise sales.
@Shane Keena it will be good if they do the full story of the books. If they do another telling that isn't full like the books, it is pretty pointless
@@multiversal2023 More skeptical and pessimistic about its chances. I feel like Michael Corleone in The Godfather pt. 3; "Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in!"
@Shane Keena I know, but if they do do it properly, then that's what they should have done to begin with instead of the vastly watered-down films. Which i do really like
Why you're no negative? If you have read Harry Potter books then even you know that movie doesn't even carry 25% of the book portion + they made some big changes in the storyline. We do need this TV show. I'm a big big Harry Potter fan and I always wanted those books to be adapted in a television series.
I hope they will finally portray Ron as the fantastic character he is in books, also I love how these woketards are really angry about the reboot and that gives me life!!
LOVE the books, didn’t even watch all the movies… I’m looking forward to this!
I actually have some high hopes for a the concept of a reboot. The originals were, frankly, incredibly cheesy. They lacked any combat magic outside of blasting laser beams and yelling. Some good stuff in the newest ones, but all very short interactions. I would love to see higher budget CG, and more in depth storytelling. Obviously being woke af would ruin it but….
Lots of the film cast wants to come back, if not most of them. It's only the main characters that doesn't want to come back. Ron actually wants to come back as well.
if there is anyone who can do such a gigantic undertaking, i believe HBO is the most capable. I wish they had explored other wizarding world stories but since the movies didn't cover most of the story, we therefore missed out on so much. Having said that, it would be really hard to see new actors play those iconic roles. Who knows, maybe this will be the next GOT for HBO. (as long as they dont make it woke or politically correct and stay true to the source, it for sure is capable to surpass GOT)
To that TikTok guy, I actually think Rupert grint is currently the most successful of all of them. He's not out of work he juuuust did a movie. Daniel has had 2 things I've seen that weren't rubbing up nude on a horse. Emma obviously had wild success, but didn't like the Harry Potter role being so pervasive in her life and eventually stepped away from acting altogether. But case in point, grint is not struggling, or out of work. He's been a voice actor for shows I watch as a guest star and like I said was just part of a big movie
I am one of those people who doesn't like the movies and and am happy that Dan and Emma said no (if that actually happened) because they were terrible actors. I've always thought Harry Potter would've been better served as a television series. You can do one book per season and actually include all the important bits that the movies left out. That being said, I don't have high hopes for this series because I'm sure they'll change things to be more "diverse" and "inclusive."
Maybe we can get a better cast for some of the characters, and more scenes that were not included in the movie. So maybe there are some positive aspects. But there definitely is reason to worry
I bet Harry Potter and Ron Weasley will have some feelings for each other to appease the woke crowd 😅
To be fair, the original films were NOT faithful to the books. Quidditch disappeared almost completely after the first few films, entire sequences of the 5th and especially 6th books disappeared or were glossed over. I haven't watched them recently and could undoubtedly come up with a host of more things that were missing or changed over the course of the 8 films.
The thing is, for long/complicated books (Lord of the RIngs, Harry Potter, etc) that have a lot of world-building and events transpire, they just naturally translate better into a TV show than a film series because you inevitably have to cut things out in order to do it. So I am all for a HP reboot. This isn't a movie being remade as a movie, like most of what we're dealing with. This is a movie being turned into a TV show, which is very different. Also, while the final film released 12 years ago, the first film released 22 years ago. This can provide a whole new generation of children with an adaptation of an awesome series that also provides all the technological advancements we've made over the last 2 decades. Or have we forgotten how ridiculous Hermione looked after she ate essence of Millicent (polyjuice potion)?
If JK Rowling can keep a tight leash on WB/HBO, then I think this could be a very good thing and I'm tentatively excited to find out.
As a guy who DISLIKES most the movies, I like that this series is getting a reboot.
And since it's a TV series, HP can do what Game of Thrones couldn't. Actually be successful if done right!
Since we are totally cool with changing the authors words/narratives in their books now a days, can we please change Dumbledore back to a awesome straight guy!? Rather than keeping him all tangled and intertwined in a femmie gay love story!? That would be so GREAT!! :)🙌🏻
She wrote the books she should have all the rights !!! Yes ungrateful brats whom she made famous and wealthy !!! 🤔
😆 I love the Roy clip. “I’m not crying!”
It kinda makes sense: instead of a 90 minute movie for the first book, you can do a 4 * 40 minutes miniseries, that way you don't cut any element from the books (like certain ghosts), and given that each subsequent book is longer than the previous one, you can add one episode per series: season 2 - 5 episodes, season 3 - 6 episodes, etc.
