They should do a prequel with the parents and murauders instead

 

Hot girl lily

jock boy James and his crew the muruaders

and alternative loser snape

 

 

 

prequels even about big events were a flop.

HP is famous for a specific story people loved and is very dickensians and inspired by the most famous fables... The count of Montecristo is loved cause people like when Edmond gets arrested, no one wants spin off or prequels of that. Same for HP. It's a very specific story and set of characters made it loved, not the universe (actually is not that special abd very very derivative about everything. Problem of movie prequels was characters not interesting, bad story so you have nothing since the HP universe outside of Hogwarts and Harry, Ron and Hermione characters is nothing).

If prequel were flop House of the dragons wouldn’t be here


This show would have Voldemort a present day threat whereas he’s a legend until book 4 in the standard books.  Better HS shenanigans, time to develop other students. Etc

They should cast Rachel Zegler.

"I think I watched the original once and never picked it up again. It's extremely dated  I just mean that it’s no longer 2001, you know"

"We absolutely wrote a  Hermione that's not going to fall for some redhead man-child loser."

"She’s dreaming about becoming the main bad b*** after she finds out Bellatrix is her real mother"

"It's really not about the magic story at all, which is really wonderful."

The Game of Thronesification of Harry Potter omg

Harry Potter is my favorite film saga ever, and I really think that it is not necessary to make a remake since the movies were very good and still feel fresh... however I will still watch the series because as I said I love the entire Harry Potter universe

It’s… her franchise? Why would she not be involved? :skull: her views are TAPPED but the general public sadly does not care.

Why can't they let the originals remain original? Don't they see that reboots of such huge films bomb all the time?

I would prefer something similar to Hogwarts Legacy, where we still get to explore more of the world we love, but with a new set of characters. I feel like the movies captured lighting in a bottle as the cast were just so perfect for the roles and I can't imagine anybody else playing Snape and Voldemort etc..

she's an AWFUL writer lmfao and producing is literally just making choices on set and getting paid for it

 

ot: i don't think I've seen a project THIS doomed since the GoT showrunners announced that slavery show.

This is something I'm greatly looking forward to, that could flesh out the Wizarding World in such a way that the films weren't able to due to time constraints. I'd love to see more of the castle, grounds, surrounding areas and character interactions.

 

If done right, this could stand on its own as being an iconic standalone interpretation of the books—separate from the films. For as excited as I am for this, I really want them to take their time to get it right. No matter what happens, though, I need Adam Driver as Snape! He's perfect for it, though he probably wouldn't want to commit to what's planned to be such an extensive series. But, who knows?

There’s nothing magical about many of those original actors, specially not the trio. All three specially were various degrees of terrible. Only reason people go on about them not being replaced is because of nostalgia lmao. I personally I am looking forward to a new trio and hope they are cast above all based on talent not because they “are just like the character” or whatever it was they did the first time.

Really, they just need to follow the books closely and this will do great. It's crazy how little screen time anyone outside of the trio has in the 8 movies COMBINED. Will be nice to get more of the supporting characters in a series like this.

I wonder how they are going to handle this because they will need to be on a strict filming schedule to keep the kids young and that hasn't been the streaming norm

they need to cast 8-9 year olds tbh or they'll be approaching 30 by the 7th book.

Or pull a Crown and recast the roles over time... assuming they make it to the seventh book, LOL!

I think the problem with the prequels we got were that we kind of wanted to see something about during voldemorts first rise to power. Grindlewald was a compelling villain but all the other characters were just kind of… there? And then Depp got fired… it was a train wreck. Something more recent to the series with known characters would have been a good idea.

Because they really weren’t “the originals” in the first place :giraffe:  A series is going to be so much better to actually let the books play out as they should.
