Trying something new =/= Fantastic Beasts. Just the same way there spin off flops of star wars (Solo) and then spin off success' (Mandalorian). It's all about idea and execution.

The movies are good for what they are but in alot of ways the are watered down versions of the story that either changed so many details and/or left out so many details of the story. A tv adaption is exciting because it would allow for so much more time to actually flash out the harry potter story in a visual way the way it deserves. They will be able to include so many more parts of the story and won't be forced to leave out so much like the movies did. I mean, for god sakes, the damn movies even left out dumbledore's funeral, that is insane, the tv show would most likely have an entire episode solely focused on the funeral for example. I'm so down for this and have said for 20 years that it would be better off as a show than movies. I read the books and they do the perfect adaptation besides a few scenes... Not only the main but The supporting cast of movies are so A-list... We gonna have a bootleg versions of belatrix, voldmort etc... It just wont work. 9 minutes ago, XAMJ said: define woke pls cause you already crying Please, look at the gossip girl reboot. The way these companies justify bringing things back is the new swapping race/lgbtq to the characters but makes it feel dated as 2019.
Wrecked Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Why are people saying to get the ages right when they cast 11 year olds to play 11 year olds?

ChatshireCat Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 this is gonna bomb, especially since the movies had like a perfect cast

I remember some fans suggesting they recast midway through the movies because all of the actors were getting older than the characters. The stupidity.
Zack Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 It's too early for this and it's totally unneeded. Especially with so much expanded material, games and spin-offs already done recently. Besides, HBO will probably ruin it by forcing in Dumbledore and/or McGonagall nude scenes or whatever, and hiring non-British actors with horrible fake accents. Hard pass!
duybeeGAshantiGA Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Idk what to feel about this. HBO is making a HP TV adaptation/series with the INVOLVEMENT of JK 🥲 I will get me TORN how I'd love to watch it but then I will remember that JK HATES transgendered people with a passion 🙄

Do people who use the word "woke" even think about what they're saying before they use it? The series is intrinisically "woke" by the current political definition because it's written by someone who isn't a male. Right wing snowflakes have come full circle Edited April 4, 2023 by Reginald
Smarticle Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Cast someone transgender so She-Who-Must-Not-Be-Threaded-On-This-Forum will cry
KFC Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 This is going to be terrible because the cast of the movies was near perfect. We really didn't need a reboot, there's SO much lore in the original universe that's crying out to be adapted

poki Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I remember some actors actually were mad that the cast in the first movie was true to the first book because it was difficult to handle their lack of experience. WOW she is still gonna be here? Noooooo this is gonna be a mess She'll make more coin than ever between this + new waves of LEGO sets...

Nutitle Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 Ugh they could make an original story, why a remake, no thank you

Venice B Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 I think it's too soon, and this is coming from someone who loves Harry Potter. They should do it only after that old hag dies. Or wait at least 20 years or so. Last year marked the 10th year anniversary of the last movie, and all of the movies still look fresh to this day. Not only that, but I think most people are still attatched to the original cast, and comparisons will be made for sure and I highly doubt they can find better people (not only the trio, but all of the cast as a whole). A tv show would be a dream but not right now. Not when the author's reputation is tarnished and of course that will reflect on this show. But Harry Potter is a cash cow and they're obviously desperate for money so... charts before the arts!
Cannon Posted April 4, 2023 Posted April 4, 2023 It’s going to get the HBO treatment and get infused with sex in every other scene.
