I think everyone from the Mauraders age has to be more younger looking then in the film. The whole point of their story was that they died to young.
Trisha Reddy i agree:(
@IamVeryFrozen James Potter died at 21, it would be cool if they really took some young actors to let the tragedy sink in
Right, which means a young Snape is also a good plan.
they should cast daniel radcliffe for the role of james potter
Amelia Jones i think the point of snape is that he DID outlive everyone. The cost of that, also ages him. (I also think adam driver can pull that off at his age)
Honestly, keep Maggie Smith as McGonnagal, we all know she is immortal, and she doesn’t look ANY older
They actually aged her up in the beginning of the films, too ;D
I thought Emma Thompson sounded like a great umbridge
Same for hagrid as well, he's a great actor and I'm sure he could pull it off again (:
@@sonnyfox60 the original umbridge is still alive and I honestly adored her as umbridge
@@sonnyfox60 Exactly what i thought. But she doesn't look the part I suppose.
We can finally get Dumbledore CALMLY asking Harry if he put his name in the Goblet of Fire
HARRYDIDJAPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIRE
Blame the director not Gambon... There's no way Gambon would've done that without the director asking for it.
Nothing more nerdy than that sentence
Benedict Jones Except Gambon didn't do any research for his role. He literally didn't read the books the movies were based on. I mean they're children's books, how hard can it be to read a couple of books for a role you get paid millions of dollars for?
@@kikkomaki5385 Agree that he should of read the books but at the same time there would have been at least a hundred people on set, if they didn't want him to shout it, they would've asked him to re-shoot it... as you say he was being paid lots for the role so he would've had to reshoot it.
Snape is SUPPOSED to be on the younger side ! In the books, he’s barely into his 30’s by the first book. Adam Driver is a phenomenal choice.
Y e s. People seem to forget the fact that Severus is supposed to be young and heartbroken. Still foolish. As much as I absolutely loved Alan Rickman (who I still miss so much) if we ever saw a remake, I'd absolutely want it to be Adam Driver.
Yessss! Lily James, Lupin, Sirius, Snape, Wormtail... they're all supposed to be on the younger side. I enjoyed the actors in the movies but the casting always frustrated me
i think the main problem here is that olivia colman is like, 10 years older than adam driver... which makes her a bit unlikely even as as an older sibling of lily who is the same year as snape
Adam Driver is already 37.
Yayyyy brought it to 300 likes!
(Narrator in regards to Adam Driver as Snape) *"Yes, he's a bit young."*
Dude, you know Snape is only 31 in the the first book, right? They cast *ALL* the Marauder Era students way too old. The fact they're young is part of the tragedy.
So that means James Potter was ~20 when he died? Not that I know but that seems off doesn't it?
Alard Tech Yes, James and lily were supposed to be in their early twenties when they died. That’s why it was so sad, they were supposed to be so young
@Norma Jinete Wow I had no idea they were so young. It's been years since I read the books so maybe this calls for a reread! I do have to say though, it would have been a little odd to have the parents be cast as being in their early twenties in the movies. I think the older actors drilled home the parent/mentor image.
My thoughts exactly! This would be correcting the ages actually
comment i've been looking for
Adam Driver as Snape would make sense chronologically, too. Snape is only in his thirties for most of the series!
Ovni all of the series he died at 38
I thought because of the nose
from the moment I saw him he reminded me of snape
Fuck me he looked older
@@zillaquazar Because Alan Rickman was 55 in the first movie. Harry's parents looked older, too in the Mirror of Erised. They were 21 when they died.
Severs Snape is actually quite young in the beginning of the story. He was around 20 when Harry was born, so 11 years later he is only in his early 30s, so Adam Diver is actually even a little bit old for the role if we want to be picky, but he looks actually perfectly aged for the character.
And his face and acting is just PERFECT for Snape!
I agree; the scenes when Snape gets into fights with Sirius, reminds him of how useless he is in OOTP and other examples of the maruaders' and his own more immature behavior, Snape's overall pleasure in taunting Neville and other students and his obvious favoritism of the Slytherins, and hatred of Gryffindor house, such as when he refereed Quidditch in the PS were pure jems and could be portrayed better with a younger actor. Alan Rickman was awesome of course, I just think this would bring out Snape's other side more accurately and it would be interesting and even fun to see.
I think they should have an accent trainer if they're using an American actor though, Snape with an American accent just seems wrong to me.
@@inanemme5603 I think this could be no problem for Adam Driver! I remember him with different accent! In blackkklasman he speak really different from Star Wars for exemple. I'm not American so I couldn't recognize the accent but I can tell it was very different and fitted the role perfectly!
if the show were to be instantly made and released tomorrow, and take 7 years to finish, Adam Driver would be 5 years older than Snape at time of death
@@BobTheTesaurus realistically, Adam driver would be around 10 years older than Snape, if a series gets made. It's not that difficult for an actor to play someone 10 years younger. And it would be an improvement from Alan Rickman who was in his 50s.
He would HAVE to master that accent though!
Nick Frost as Hagrid is simply brilliant.
Maggie Smith could return as Mcgonagall, since I’m fairly sure she can’t die.
DarthCaedus biiiiicthh 🤣🤣 her animagus is cat, she has 9 lives
DarthCaedus I just know that I will find this comment again someday when she passend and cry really hard over this
Maggie Smith is immortal
DarthCaedus Maggie Smith is immortal
Both Maggie Smith and The Queen of England have the same powers
I WHOLEHEARTEDLY AGREE THAT ALL THE CHILD ACTORS SHOULD BE UNKNOWN.
Agreed
So true
Say it, don't spray it
Tru
That kid that played the red-bush in the school play is a great shout for Ron
I think Adam's age would be perfect for the role because in the books Snape is in his thirties when Harry starts studying at Hogwarts.
I agree with this completely!
Yes, yes and yes.
Wait, what...? Snape would be older than Harrys mum, right? So hed be in his 40s... right?
@@MisaoM No he's the exact same age as his mum.
Elvina Dhludhlu Snape is 31 in Philosopher’s Stone
idk man, hagrid is just so phenomenal in the original i couldn’t imagine anyone else playing him
JK Rowling had Robbie Coltrane in mind when she created the character and wanted him to be cast so badly :)
*I shuddn’t av sed tha*
Robbie Coltrane just passed away 😭😭😭😭
Same with Snape
Nick Frost. Done.
Came here thinking: "Don't be ridiculous - you can't remake Harry Potter!"
Left here thinking: "This would be epic. Want this to happen"
Would be expensive hiring that cast. But then this is Harry Potter which always = $$$$$$.
@Netflix - Here's your billion dollar series to counter Amazon's LOTR series!
Netflix already have Witcher. I think Harry potter streaming show would be perfect for Warner Bros HBO max.
WHAT THERES A LOTR SERIES!?!?!

Nothing can top the original
I always thought Netflix should do a Narnia series but in modern day with:
The Magicians Apprentice - A Short Film
The Lion, The Witch & The Wardrobe - Full Length Film
The Tales of the Golden Age - Two Season TV Show
The Horse & His Boy - Full Length Film (This will have a post credits scene off the 4 kids retuning to England which wasn’t in the first film)
Prince Caspian - Full Length Film
The Voyage of the Dawn Treader - Full Length Film
The Silver Chair - Full Length Film
The Last Battle - Full Length Film
Daniel Radcliffe and Bonnie Wright could be casted as James and Lily Potter. It would be an amazing cameo.
Akash Adrian Mehta I was about to say, I’d want to see at the very least, cameos from members of the original cast!
Rupert grint as arthur weasley
I like that. Also, I made it to 69 likes.... Nice.
@@swolby9230 nice
@@g04tzy69 Damn right
Actually Adam Driver wouldn’t be too young imo. He’d be perfect because Snape was about 30 years old when Harry started Hogwarts
Are you honestly telling me Lily and James were 19 when Harry was born?
@@WasKE395 Yes, they were, according to the books' timeline
@@WasKE395 Lily and James were 21 when they died
WasKE395 James and Lily were 20 when Harry was born i believe, they died when they were 21
19 when they got married, 20 when Harry was born and 21 when they died
oh my god it’s happening, everyone stay calm
especially Dumbledore when he asks Harry if he put his name on the Goblet of Fire
Ahhahaha! 😅
😂Dumbledore said calmly
How funny would it be to have Emma Watson do a cameo as Trelawney.
Legit funny because Hermione hates her with passion
Maybe the original cast can be the 19 years later version!
AnushkaZara I thought about that too and that’s genius
Just realized it sounded like I called myself a genius 😂
well, shes about as crazy
Samuel L. Jackson as Mad Eye Moody
"I'm Mad Eye Moody. I'm here to talk to you about the Phoenix Initiative"
lol bring a few M-F bombs to Harry Potter
I mean, funny, but I actually love that idea. He has the presence of Mad Eye.
Omg i live for this
I read that with his voice
Okay but that would be really good
Andrew Scott would be amazing as Quirrell. All anxious and stuttering, until the finale where he kind of takes on a similar persona and body language to what he brought to Sherlock as Moriarty. Super threatening, while almost humorous in his carefree attitude.
Snape is 31 in Philosopher's Stone, and Harry's parents are only 21 when they die. Adam Driver only seems "a little young" because the movies portrayed their characters as waaay too old.
Yeah, he's 36 now, that's even older than the character, he'd do well
I loved alan rickman as snape but I was always confused because he was like 40 or something
@@ssssSTopmotion he was 55 in the first film
Osman Yousif Yes! Alan rickman was to charming to be Snape! He should be more hateful
@@sevde9832 Then Adam Driver would be perfect age wise as Snape since he;s younger than Rickman, I do miss Rickman.
To everyone who is complaining about Adam Driver being an American, I say this:
We have two Brits currently playing Superman and Spider-Man.
its mostly for accent purposes. it would make sense that the series would have a British accent rather than an American one. The accent in the movies seems like a detail but it is as important as the writing or actor's delivery. It adds layers of depth and ambiance to the general atmosphere and feeling of immersion of a story. So If the actor is American but has a nice Oxford accent that would also be valid. (I'm not British btw).
Yeah, but Americans are generally worse at accents lol
I cannot comprehend the mandate that 'the entire cast has to be British'. People, it's called *acting*. If the actor can master the accent, that's all that matters. The wrong nationality can be good, or can be bad (e.g. Sophie Turner's American accent as Jean Grey).
Colleen Hysell Spot on. It’s like the people that cry about gay roles going to straight actors. Grow tf up
@@bangchanswebbrowsinghistor5145 I agree that having uniform accents is important. I was bugged in the Star Wars sequels that most of the characters had American accents (including Finn, even though John Boyega is British), except for Rey, inexplicably. Why was she allowed to sound posh and British, but Boyega had to pretend he's American? Was it because Rey was a thinly-veiled copy of Bastila Shan? We'll never know I guess.
But it also bugged me about Kingdom Come Deliverance. The accents are totally randomized there.
That said, Adam Driver is pretty good at accents. I've heard him do Southern, Texan and English, and he's solid in all of them. So I think he can pull it off. My first reaction to seeing him as Kylo Ren without the mask was "THAT'S SNAPE WTF". He even has the same dry sense of humor as Snape. So I can totally see it.
Okay hear me out, recast everyone except for Daniel Radcliffe and just have Harry be played by a 30 year old man the whole time
Rowan NO! Just no
Omg yes
Lmao yes even in the first scene when he’s a baby
Sodium Chloride lmao
AHAHAH
Totally agree with the choice for Quirrell, Andrew Scott would be perfect
When it comes to Severus' age I guess it would be alright to have someone younger like Adam Driver as Snape considering he should be around his 30's as the story begins. He is indeed and amazing actor and so fitting for the role :)
Just commented something similar.
@@tierk4328 he is American.....

and daniel radcliffe for james potter, and rupert grint for arthur weasley.
@@panicpowerhouse8158 bruh that would most definetly not work
@@lloydsummers8061 Yep I know.
Lloyd Summers He just had an idea.....
When people say "you have your mother's eyes" to Harry I want to actually see it.
YEAH i feel like harry having green eyes was such a big part of the books lol
Do you mean you think Harry should have Lily's eyes in a jar?
@@zingzangspillip1
Ha ha. That seems more like something up Snape's alley:)
But seriously, it's mentioned over and over again but their eyes aren't even the same color in the films.
this was a big deal for me, in the books they mention it ALL the time, and they were supposed to be green, they even mention it on the movies, while the actress of Lily had BROWN eyes and Daniel had BLUE eyes, AAAAAAAAA
They did try. Daniel Radcliffe couldn't wear contacts without having a terrible reaction. Not sure why they cast young Lily as a brown-eyed girl.
I’m just imagining Adam Driver playing Snape and all I hear is him talking like Kylo Ren.
lmaoooo I searched that video of his famous line as Ren too
Especially from the SNL undercover boss video
Lol now I’m just imagining Kylo ren teaching a class of teenagers
More...More!! MORE!!!
😂
Nick Frost is actually a surprisingly great choice as Hagrid.
Bryn Kasson yes!
Amazing
Except to me the man who played hadgrid in the originals the more “rrr” tone of his voice to me was better then Nick Frost
When he said it and showed the pic of Nick, I started pissing myself laughing, but once I calmed down I though 'yeah, he'd actually be perfect'
Agreed! Adam Driver as Snape is amazing too
The ONLY person who should be brought over from the original series...is maestro John Williams. Just let him score THE ENTIRE thing this time. He completely nailed the "sound" of the wizarding world and I honestly can't imagine the world without his music.
Yeah definitely, though I wouldn't be too mad if James Newton Howard did it, because the music he composed for Fantastic Beasts really captured the magic and wonder of the wizarding world
Cyclonado Thunderclaw maybe both? Just PLEASE don’t let Alexandre Desplat go near them again. I love Alexandre’s work, but his style didn’t really fit the wizarding world.
TheMissingLink which themes did Alexandria do?
Isn't he retiring though? I mean he is 87 now
@@TheMissingLink1 what? Lily's theme is absolutely fantastic. Idk, Alexander Desplat I thought did amazing, and Shape of Water has proved he can do some very emotional fantasy feeling music when hes told to.
In my opinion though, it should be a new composer. Franchises live by embracing the new, not relying on the old
Olivia Colman can't be Petunia, she's got to be Dolores Umbridge
I don't doubt that Coleman's talented enough to play Dolores Umbridge, but that would be such a waste of her charm. Even casting her as Petunia would be pushing it, tbh.
@@WreckNRepeat I actually think her charm would add to Umbridge - have you seen Colman in Fleabag? Her character in that has shades of Umbridge, superficial charisma/sweetness (like Umbridge's kittens and ribbons) that peel away to reveal an absolutely horrible, selfish core. It's played for laughs in Fleabag but I think Olivia could bring a really poisonous edge to Umbridge that's even more scary because she pretends to be so 'lovely'
Holy shit, that's a great idea!
@@hoblerone7882 her girlish giggle in Fleabag... so insidious. Ugh, perfect.
I agree think Lena Heady would be a better Petunia and cast Coleman as Unbridge.
Time to relook into this with HBO recreating it. For Dumbledore, it's Jared Harris for me. I don't care he's younger, him playing his fathers original role would be just legendary. He has that unique calming voice too.
Actor for Snape: “Yes, he’s no the younger side.
Me: Snape’s not even that old
Right he is in his early 30s when Harry starts school. Harry Parents died at age 21. McGonnagall was also not as old as she was in the movies. If we ever get a series i would want them to consider that. I also would want more quidditch. We never really saw them win the cup in 3rd year or we never got to see the world cup.
Kuro Neko actually snape is like 45 by the end of the books so what like 37 38 at the start
@@rokkfel4999 snape is actually only 21 at the beginning of philosopher's stone so he would have been around 39 by the end of the series (sorry for my bad english, i'm a vietnamese)
@@rokkfel4999 Actually he dies at 38 in the books, and we meet him at 31 I believe. He was born in 1960 and the last book takes place from end of summer of 1997 through beginning of summer in 1998 (not counting the epilogue)
MINH DUY HOANG He was definitely older, otherwise he would have been 10 when Harry was born.
"Younger side" Adam Driver is 36. Snape was 38 when he was killed by Voldemort.
Younger vs. Rickman perhaps? Indeed, I think Adam Driver is mistaken for younger owing to Star Wars, when he played a character under 30.
@@lisakaz35 Not that much younger, Kylo Ren was 29/30 at the beginning of TFA. The character of Rey was 19 however.
@@Sarah-kc3fb Yep. Though Driver has to be told at some point that Kylo was younger than him.
@@lisakaz35 yeah fair enough. He would definately be a perfect snape though, especially with the right makeup / mask etc.
He is killed by nagini not Voldemort
Who else sees Cillian Murphy being a great Lucius Malfoy? I think that he'd do an amazing job at exploring the deeper character moments in the later books
Ani Searle omg yes yes yes
If Cillian plays Lucius then it better be a series on Lucius as protagonist cuz you know im biased when it comes to Cillian Murphy. Xppp
I AGREE
He could have been an amazing older Tom Riddle, except the fucker had to go and die and resurrect looking like a motherfucking reptile, so I guess I'll settle for Cillian playing Lucius
Benedict Cumberbatch would be great!
"Cockney Dumbledore doesn't exist he can't hurt you"
This video:
Lol. But on a serious note I actually think cockney dumbledore would be good, part of Dumbledores is that he doesn’t seem the type to be the most powerful wizard. So a cockney accent will make him seem more colloquial and blue collar and a lot less all powerful being
Aussie Dumbledore, actually
@@shirubionicle he’s from London, not Australia
@@sonnyfox8407 oh shit, my bad
If they did a tv series, I think JK Rowling would need to step away from the project. It needs to only rely on the books and previous movies. Nothing should feel like the Cursed Child or anything found on Twitter as “canon” because if it was canon it would’ve been in the books.
Not the movies, please. We can leave those in the past where they belong.
And we could restore McGonagall's actual age if we based her on the books and not the films. According to the books she's only middle-aged. Nothing against Maggie Smith's portrayal, but technically she was too old to play McGonagall.
It needs to completely rely on the books.
Back in the day, JK made sure the films stayed true to the books and that all the actors were British. It makes me so fucking sad that we can’t trust her with that sort of thing anymore.
They'd 100% hire her to create a leftist dreamscape with no anchoring in the original material. 😍
I want a Harry Potter tv series that combines the feeling of childish wonder of the first two movies, and cinematography of the third. And also to stay more loyal to the characterizations described in the books, and to include all the necessary subplots. Tom Riddle's childhood, for an example, was completely removed from the 6th film, which in turn removed an extremely important element of the whole series. They clung onto lazy tropes just and made Voldemort into just another baddie in favour of whoosh whoosh bang bang CGI effects.
The feeling of wonder is my favorite thing in the first two movies, I agree with that entirely.
Eh. Voldy was always a bit of a two-dimensional psychopath, even with his backstory.
@@ohwowitsthatguy9154 True, but removing his backstory made it even worse. At least with his history, we know why he turned out to be such a two-dimensional baddie.
Anna Minor 100%. The wonder and the exploration I felt watching the first movie and reading the first book was incredible to me. I honestly don’t know how to explain it but it was so uplifting, liberating even
YES YES YES
It's so hard to imagine anyone else playing all of these classic characters, but if this show were to come to light, you got all of these picks spot on!!
Recently started rewatching the Harry Potter movies to get in the spirit for Hogwarts Legacy, and the moment that actually brought me to tears was at the end of Chamber of Secrets when Harry said, "It's not Hogwarts without you Hagrid" and yeah, that just brought a rush of emotions for me
When Kylo Ren removed his mask i thought omg Snape is in StarWars.
Same
Same lmao
Ricky Gervais as Peeves and he just floats around heckling everyone
Yea and grabbing people’s noses.
Wahhhh let's all laugh at me the comedy poltergeist.

No they actually died when they were 21, a couple of years after they left Hogwarts.
But that is still really young, so yeah Adam Driver is not to young. Because Snape would be 31 in the first film. 😊
They left school at 18. Died at 21. So it was 3 years.
Actually, Adam Drive is even too old. He's almost 37 (and he looks older!) and Snape is 31 in the first book.
Naurore25. Rickman was 55 in the first movie. But with a little make up he looked mid 40’s. They could easily age driver down.

oof
Well acted shit story tho
Snape is supposed to be in his early 30s at the beginning of Philosopher’s Stone, and Adam Driver is 36, so it works.

Adam Driver is probably my favorite actor ever and he really is perfect for it. The face, the voice (minus the accent), the hair (omg), and his acting skills are just so on point for Snape. Btw, I totally agree that Adam Driver as Kylo Ren/Ben Solo was the best thing to come out of the sequel trilogy, just saying. Also, I saw someone say that Tom Felton is right around the perfect age to play Lucious Malfoy. I totally agree. I would love to see that. Someone else also mentioned Emma Watson as Trelawney. That would be perfect!
I wish we could be blessed with a netflix series, every book is one season, I wish we could do the same with percy jackson also.
eyyyyy well we're getting a disney+ percy jackson series!!
Not Netflix tho, I would prefer HBO to handle Harry Potter, considering what they did with game of thrones in terms of special effects and scope
@@CK-js1ww YES! HBO doing a HP series with 10 1h eps/year would be great! They could really follow the books and explore the worldbuilding without doing random scenes and weird romances like in the movies. No other studio would be able to do this as good as HBO, so either that or well animated are the only options.
Or we should get a tv series about ten all amazing silver trio, Neville, Ginny, and Luna
They would make Hermione black, and probably going to show that intense sexual relationship Dumbledore had with Grindelwald
Adam Driver really isn't on the young side--he's only 2 years younger than Snape is when he dies, and he is five years older than Snape is at the beginning.
He's still way younger than Alan was
Kira-Rey From Nowhere Yeah but Alan and all of the others cast as Marauder era characters were waaaaay older than they were supposed to be
@@hannahc2265 That's what I meant lol. Alan played Snape perfectly and nobody could ever beat him in terms of acting, but in terms of age, he was wayyy too old which wasn't realistic for the character. He made Snape look old enough to be Harry's grandfather rather than his father's old rival at school. But If they were to reboot Harry Potter, I would scream in delight if Adam was cast as Snape because as well as being a superb actor, he is actually the right age. Plus it helps he has the hair, the nose, the posture, the aura, even the really deep voice. All he needs is a very convincing British accent and then I'm down for it 😂😂
@@hannahc2265 to be fair, when they first casted snape not all the books were out and there was no confirmation on the marauder-era people's ages. it turned out that james and lily were like 20 when they had harry which is pretty young for parenthood. snape is ~31 in the first book which is younger than one would have assumed without access to that knowledge
timelord ricknmorty Except that Rowling worked with them in the casting process. She didn’t have final say but she did have the ability to release any info that might be pertinent to those decisions
I think Gary Oldman would make an incredible Dumbledore - he has the kind twinkly eyes described in the book but also you would not f*ck with him!
OOOHHHHHH!!!!! I LIKE this!!!
I think he killed it as Sirius. Sirius is meant to be a different kind of Dumbledore. The kind that relates to Harry more. He's like Dumbledore but less Headmaster. More well _cool_
Yeah but the temper...
"Sir, dementors are coming..."
"Bring...
...EVVVRYONNNNE!"
exactly!!
Too distracting. He just couldn’t be anyone except Sirius to anyone who saw the original movies. Multiple times.
Ive always felt Stephen Fry should play Dumbledore, I mean he has the voice, the physical presence and even the crooked nose.
Or Nick Frost, either 1 there would always be an 🎬 Actor to portray the Character
I want whoever is cast as Dumbledore to be a delightful quirky wizard, as he is in the books. He needs to look like Merlin, not like a reprobate who lives under a bridge. I was appalled when Gambon's had dirty fingernails, that stupid string cinching his beard, his dirty-looking costume (plants could sprout from the hem), and obviously was oblivious as to HOW Dumbledore should be...his rage-y attacking Harry about the Goblet of Fire, just about everything he did was wrong. I want the new Dumbledore to be magical and more like Chris Columbus' and JKR's ideas of him... a classic wizard.
And all the Marauders-era characters are in their 30s when Harry gets to Hogwarts. They shouldn't be played by "old guys'.
You're right! Simon Pegg would be a hoot as Peeves.
Plus he's gay.
NO. NO. NO. TOTALLY THE WRONG CHOICE. AND I AM A FAN OF MR. FRY.
BUT NOT AS DUMBLEDORE.
I thought you said "bill nye as ollie vander" and now I can't stop thinking
BILL NYE THE WAND SHOP GUY
Bill! Bill! Bill! Bill!
Nathan Griffith ReAlLy? No WaY! 😂😂
@Nathan Griffith Bill Nighy*
Adam Driver is actually the right age, Snape was only in his thirties.
When I first saw Adam watching Star Wars that’s the first thing came to my mind he would make a good snape not because of the nose and all but the whole body structure screamed out a young Snape
Sick Google search bruh
I'd honestly throw myself out the window if Adam Driver would be cast. Something about that actor that just... ugh. lol. In my opinion at least.
@@rev31089 You're just the type who doesn't like popular or well liked celebs. My sister is the same and she doesn't like Adam Driver too.
S. Ali I do like well liked celebs. I just think Adam is boring and something more about him just irks me.
Me: No, I don't care who he says for Snape. Alan Rickman was perfect and I'd rather they use freaky de-aging software than cast anyone else.
Bryan: Adam Driver
Me: Oh my goodness! That's freaking perfect. Dang it! I want to see him play Snape.
Alan Rickman is DEAD. He was also too old in the original movies anyway. He's meant to be early 30's.
I mean they could be related anyways with those hairdos XD
I'm pretty sure @jim Chabai didn't read the whole comment anyway.
The first time I saw adam driver in scene my poor brain melted a bit trying to figure out how alan rickman looked younger and was in a movie even though he is dead lol
adam driver would KILL as snape!! i think he’d give such a great performance and show the layars that snape has
Rowan Atkinson: Nearly Headless Nick
Hugh Laurie: Peeves
Stephen Fry: Ludo Bagman
Okay, gotta say: That last one is great. But isn't it even the case that Stephen Fry was originally intended to play a role in the films? Possibly even that of Ludo Bagman?
Fry should play Dursley!
Somebody has watched Blackadder recently 😆 but I do agree with you for Fry and Laurie, not sure about Atkinson tho
I see a cunning plan forming here! Tony Robinson as Mundungus Fletcher!
David Vayne bit old but worth it
Tell me Pegg didn't get cast because you realized, "Oh shit, I cast Frost, where do I cast Pegg"
Pegg and Martin Freeman (casted in the next one) should swap.
Obviously if Frost is Hagrid, Pegg has to be Fang. Right? Its the only logical choice. That or Flitwick
Adam Driver isn’t “too young”, he’s actually too old, but perfect casting.
too old? Alan Rickman was in his 60s playing a 30s something character so I don't think driver too old
@@dorinachan113 ya but Snape is actually in his 30s in the book
@@dorinachan113 they mean if we're talking canon in the series. Alan Rickman was also too old. snape was only 31 at the start of the series.
@@roseofthegarden_ Well he looks pretty young
@@jmlarker9352 Why? (Besides the accent hehe)
Actually, Driver is the perfect age for the role: Harry's parents died when they were about 20 years old. Harry goes to school 10 years later. Snape would be 30-something. Adam is 36. He's actually perfect
omg he was so young O:
Hermione = kevin Hart
Ron = Jack Black
Harry = The Rock
Edwin Samayoa nani!!?!
Dumbledore: Karen Gillian
Snape = Danny DeVito.
@@wowosewook2os957 whos nani ?
no, Jack Black AS Hermione
As much i love Andrew Scott and wish that he could be "cast" in a bigger roll i think u hit it right on the money with the fact hed be an amazing quirell.
All the professors should be younger than the movies showed them so Adam Driver as Snape is perfect!
I think Benedict Cumberbatch would be perfect for Voldemort.
OMG YES! 😍😍
yeeeees
Moriarty with Sherlock on his bald head? I’d watch it
You got me thinking about his eerie performance in The Hobbit. I'd definitely believe Cumberbatch wanted to kill Harry dead.
Why not Snape? He could be as good as Voldemort, maybe even better, it would be like a combination of Turing and that one he played in Star Track movie.
Snape is supposed to be younger, Harry’s parents were in their 20s when they died so Adam Driver in his 30s makes perfect sense in the realm of the books
It may not be apparent to those outside the UK but Michael Caine doesn’t have the right accent to be Dumbledore. Caine has a very strong cockney accent, Dumbledore’s accent should be more Received Pronunciation (RP); better suited actors that come to mind are Ian McKellen or Patrick Stewart.
I would love for Ian McKellan to play him
As an American I can only detect the really obvious British accents yet I noticed in that Batman scene his accent was rather cockney not as regal sounding as I imagine Dumbledore having. I agree. And as someone else pointed out, he’s 87, he really couldn’t commit to a decade of films. As much as I’d love to see an Ian McKellan or Patrick Stewart, they’d really need someone more in their 50s or 60s with the stamina to do a long running series.
Do you know what acting is?
@@ssssSTopmotion of course but I don’t think you realise that not all actors are good at accents. Samuel L Jackson always sounds like Samuel L Jackson, Michael Caine always sounds like Michael Caine.
Where exactly does it say in the books what Dumbledore’s accent is?
"Ello, oi'm Dumbledor nice ta meet ya Mista Arry Po'ah."
Omg thank you so much for your comment, I just let out the most undignified laugh.
Actually I'd love a Series not focusing on Harry, but rather on The First Wizarding War or Voldemort's school years.
No Sh the first wizarding world war is what fantastic beasts is about.
Voldemort school years HAS to be written by J.K Rowling, and she alone. Give her some time to write the novel(s) first, then adapt into TV or movies. But she has to write it, not with some other persons or fans because Cursed Child was terrible and The Origin fanmade story was terrible as well. Only Rowling knows how to write Voldemort. But i doubt she wants to. :/
Omg yes!!!
@@Aisha_Luv Tom riddle isnt even born yet in fantastic beast
Alex Esteros i said wizarding war? When did i mention tom riddle.
me before watching: I’m going to be so annoyed by this
me during the video: *this is literal perfection*
So true! And almost painful how this guy can detach from the original-actors in his mind - impossible for me)
Nastya Krein b-b-but MAGGIE SMITH
Hannah Huynh that is one thing I resent changing the most
I got to Maggie Smith and was like No,. Then afterwards I was like, I'll allow it
To be fair Adam Driver as Snape is kind of brilliant
I can’t see anyone else playing Snape. Period.
i dont think i could see anyone else ever replacing any of the original cast🤣
but I can see
Or McGonagall
@@dids3384 ikr, fuck this video idea...🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
adam driver could, him and kaylo are similar anyway
“We need nobodies for this role”
My 10 year old brother: Allow me to introduce myself.
I'll cast your 10 year old brother
You are mean
Air Divine Okay snowflake
Masky you are mean too
Masky you are the snowflake for getting triggered at this comment enough that you said that
My attitude at first was: "Remake 'Harry Potter'? - Meh, too soon." Then right out of the gate you suggest Michael Caine as Dumbledore. SOLD.
I would hear that Cockney accent every time he opens his mouth.
Maybe but Michael as regular Dumbledore and the rest of the cast can be muppets and yes muppet Voldermort too.
@@kimhirschman1735 Haha, true....or the Aussie voice at the end of 'Dirty Rotten Scoundrels'...which is a variation of Cockney, I guess?
Make Daniel Radcliff and Bonnie Wright as James and Lily Potter.
Not Bonnie Wright she was a terrible Ginny!!!
Both were terrible though...
Hear me out: Bring in Benedict Cumberbatch for Lockheart for the 2nd year
Benedict Cumberbatch would be a much better professor Snape.
@@___David__ I think he could probably portray a good handful of characters, but I think he looks more like a Lockheart type
I think he'll be great as sirius black for some reason
OMG YES!
Tiny Tim yes! We know he can act full of himself because of doctor strange
Nicholas Cage as everyone.
SnezyMcPanda 😂
Now I won't agree to anything else.
Nicolas Cage as Lupin
lmao xD
I love Nicolas Cage, he needs a good role 👍
Adam would be really, really strong. He could carry the entire miniseries
Sure, he is used to carrying
@@charlie172011 he carried Rey and the sequel trilogy lol
Absolutely not. He’s just not Snape.
Best actor of his generation!
@@margaret7504 Jake Gyllenhaal
So we are all here after the new show was announced lol
Nobody talking about how perfect Simon Pegg is as Peeves?!
I've only seen him in one episode of Doctor Who, and he carried that episode, so yeah, he'd be great!
exactly!!
Icelandic Sand oh you’ve missed out on a lot of good movies then. you should watch the cornetto trilogy (shaun of the dead, hot fuzz, at world’s end), pegg is all of them
He'd be amazing.
I loved him in Star Trek.
I can really see Nick Frost as Hagrid!
“No luck catching them basilisks then?”
“It’s just the one basilisk, actually.”
Oh my God I just spat 😂😂😂
I love it!!!
😂 😂 😂
This might be my favourite comment ever
Agreed, but he is too young.
If you want a good child actor who is relatively unknown, the kid in JoJo Rabbit was both an incredibly child actor and only did one film so far.
Both of them they two are great actors
Yes
But who would he play?
@@emilybenson3147 Ron, maybe
@@tristanhartup4936 idk about Ron, his hair is blond, but he could be colin creevy.
i loved the shopped versions of the actors as their chosen roles. Sometimes I couldn't really picture the actors as the character but whenever the shopped version showed it clicked and I saw how they could fit the character really well
Driver would be perfect as Snape. From the moment he took off that helmet in TFA, I was like, "Holy crap it's Severus Snape!" Plus I think his performance as Kylo perfectly embodied the right combination of arrogance, self-loathing, regret, and resentment that we see in Snape. I'm imagining a few of Snape's scenes from the films and I'm having zero trouble imagining Driver instead of Alan Rickman.
Have you seen the meme of Snape that says "Kylo Ren, I am your father"?
Nah Alan Rickman was th best everyone knows that
I agree. After rewatching TFA and TLJ last week, I texted my friend, "Snape and Kylo Ren are almost identical characters! Both long haired melodramatic men with deep voices that like insulting people but die in a redemptive moment because of their obsession over some girl"
@@sivad1025 Oh my god you're right.
They don't just look and sound the same, it's basically the same character
He’s the Snape of Star Wars
Adam Driver is the only other person who can play Snape.
tigerfashionlove aj how he is American
If Rowling decides no Americans I think Tom Hiddleston would be a good filler
Nah, not really, you only say that because he looks like him
@@fiachrabermingham9143 And because he's an incredible actor.
Libellum ye obviously, I feel like after seeing him in Star Wars snape would just seem goofy and not like this overwhelming character
Rewatching this series after the announcement!
I'm glad I'm not the only one who looks at Adam Driver and thinks he would be the perfect Snape in a reboot. That was all I could think of when I was watching the last Star Wars trilogy.
A Snape spinoff movie would be great.
Adam Driver looks like a young Alan Rickman
Yesss same omg
@@Onmysheet I would watch that!
Same. I used to dislike him and The Force Awakens because I feel like he's a weird-looking Space Snape wannabe, LoL...and then SNL 2016 happened, and I turned...fall HARD for him. 😍
Kit Harington for Sirius Black. The Marauders were younger in the books, and I think actors like Adam Driver and Kit Harington are perfect ages.
N. I think they meant Kit for Sirius, not Snape
King of the.....Hogwarts?
I dont know I think I would choose him more as James Potter
@@wasabichips97 bruh where did snape come into the picture lol
Galactic Galaxle god sorry I’m so freaking blind 🤦🏻♀️ I’m gonna slide out now *embarrassing*
Edit: deleted the comment lol
I got chills when you said "Andrew Scott as Quirrel."
Andrew Scott's Moriarty IS actually a lot like Quirrel in his first episode. The awkward and unsure tiny lad transforms into the badass villain
As awesome as that would be, I feel like it's such a waste to kill off Andrew Scott in the first story
Professional Meme Enthusiast 1 He’d get around 6 episodes which would be great imo
Harry: John Cena
Ron: Donald Trump
Hermione: Travis Scott
Couldn't name a more iconic trio
Hagrid should be played by eminem. I think he'd be perfect for the role
No i wanna play Hermione
Molly weasley: Vin Diesel. *We’re a family Ron*
Ian McKellen as dumbledore is a massive missed opportunity
Shmuel _06 dumbledores role is too similar to gandalfs. Would be confusing
He was actually considered for it after Richard Harris died two movies in (side note: Harris was aware that his health might prevent him from playing the character throughout the entire series and only took the role because his granddaughter urged him to) but declined because it was too similar to the role of Gandalf - and because Harris really didn't like McKellen's acting.
He was dumbledore , full name gandalf van dumbledore
McKellen is the obvious choice, but he's already said he doesn't want to
ok this is kind of crazy but how about a slightly aged Taika Waititi? He should at least have some hand in production; there is an element of whimsical-ness to the characters he plays that was totally missing in dumbledore from the harry potter movies but one of my favorite bits of the books. After all, if this did hypothetically happen, it probably wouldn't be for another couple of years, at least enough for Waititi to be in his fifties, and he does have a weathered look to him. If not that, then peeves or something; that Korg energy was one of my favorite things about the series, and would be a necessary element to cut up the darker bits of the show
Andrew Scott: *is mentioned*
Me: *M O R I A R T Y!*
same, dude
thats literally why i clicked the video
Same, dude, same. Our lovely villain
*D I D Y O U M I S S M E ?*
Andrew Scott is AMAZING! When I saw him in the movies PRIDE, 1917 and BACHELOR'S WEEKEND, and the TV show FLEABAG (season 2) he blew my mind, the characters are so disparate.
Adam driver is actually older than snape is in philosopher's stone, he just looks young. He'd be perfect
Nah harry potter is british and we have plenty of excellent actors here that we really don’t need american ones. Harry Potter is so quinitisentially British (in a way that appeals internationally by virtue of its unique, quirky Britishness) that an American actor in a major role would be horribly misplaced.
@@ssh1487 I didn't mean perfect over any actor, I meant, he didn't clash with the role in terms of age, and the video suggests he does
I'm brazillian, so I don't see any difference
@@ssh1487 While with training, Adam could nail it. Though I was thinking apart from Adam... has no one thought of Tom Hiddleston? If he would become even more stoic than he was as Loki.
@@AcePotato_ I would pick Tom for Lucius Malfoy, he has that sneaky face, he can seem cruel and at the same time be an asskissing magot. I would pick Benedict Cumberbutter for Snape. My english is to bad for me to explain why I think so, but just think about the roles he played and the presence he delivers everytime.
JASON MAMOA AS HAGRID!
(JK but seriously how are you so good at picking the perfect actors for the roles?!! I hope the "powers that be" see this for sure, maybe it will spark the HP TV series for real!)
Hagrid’s casting 😱 never woulda seen it coming, but that’s perfect
it blew me away. honestly fits perfectly.
I saw it coming straight away as it was also my choice, it would be brilliant
yeah mindblowingly good XD
I love it
I think that everyone forgets that Snape was young. He died at 38 years old. So I think your casting is amazing. All of the others are perfect too. And I completely agree with the thing about unknown actors for the students
He didn't die at 38
Kindofimportant yes he did
@@padraiccrawford2786 Yes he did, in the movies, the "parents" (James and Lily's generation) look a lot older than they actually are. But one of the most heartbreaking things in the books, is seeing how young everyone really is.
@@ann0217
Yeah part of the story is that the parents' generation had kids young because there was a war on
One huge problem with Michael Cain as Dumbledore: Cain can't do accents, and his natural voice is not a fit at all.
why would he need an accent..? He is British.
@@miraxterrik He has a Cockney accent. Imagine if someone who spoke with a New Yawk accent played a cowboy. It'd be kinda like that.
@mother ofsneks Dumbledore was born in a wizarding village. Cockney is a stereotypical London accent that was thought of as "low born" for the majority of his life. Sure I could get used to it if the movie was good enough, but it'd be weird.
1894db What are you talking about? Have you not seen Zulu? He played the pompous and upper class Gonville Bromhead superbly, he most definitely can pull off the RP accent
@@proteasfire7572 Zulu's maybe the one movie he did with a different UK accent, and for me it wasn't that convincing. Not to mention that time he attempted an American accent in On Deadly Ground, which was just flat out bad.
I think Matthew Macfadyen has all the qualities to play Snape... the voice, the brooding stare, and obviously the acting.
I CAN'T stop talking about this : Harry Potter as a series. 1 episode = 1 chapter. Please do all of the books !!!
Delphine Renaud there’s literally no point remaking Philosopher or Chamber, they are almost a beat for beat retelling of the novels. Can’t imagine any changes they could make. Now remaking it as an Anime, that would be gold
Honestly each episode would be like 10 minutes and season 5 would have 37 episodes
Everyone would skip the death day party episode... no one wants to listen to terribly played musical saws, and look at rotting, mouldy cheese, fish or haggis.
Edit: For an ENTIRE episode
