Anyway, some of the main cast are going to be race-switched and everyone is going to lose their mind with all the "too woke" talks.

There's a few characters that, yes, need to stay white if you ask me, but some don't really, and it wouldn't change their arch, story or vibe in any way. Take the three main characters for example:

While technically Ron doesn't have to be white, changing the red hair, white "loser" thing wouldn't be a good idea - it would throw off the vibe.

Hermione and even Harry don't have to be imo, it really doesn't matter.

They can shoot the seasons back to back to be able to do annual season releases, in which case the aging of the kids will be no problem.

At this point they should just make an animated TV show because the way TV productions are going we will be getting 1 season every 3 years at least  :toofunny3:

except that animators keep getting laid off in huge numbers, are underpaid and overworked and will probably take just as long, because it would have to be gorgeous. but I generally agree that animation would actually be the way to go.

I will never understand this decision. What a waste of time and money. Movies are still very popular and stood test of time, no one will ever give this a chance and we honestly don't need this. I'm honestly mad.

The discourse will be fun when inevitably 2 or 3 of the main kids are played by people of color :razzle:

Pretty sure Harry and Ron will be white. I can see Hermione being black just because of the HP play.

the actual readers of the books will give this show a chance because i can guarantee you a good portion of them just tolerate the movies, they don't really like them (especially the last 4) because so much was cut out, including some nuances that made the story in the books so much more compelling

I think it's because of LEGO. Harry Potter sets are still in the top 5 most popular LEGO sets every year. They did all the main sets between 2018-2023 twice and this year started another re-launch of the castle sets.

Expect a chorus of Not my Ariel like sentiments and OH MY GOD where is the historical accuracy from white women on social media and literal nazi youtubers like the Quartering. I have to stay I will be shocked if it gets a remotely mid amount of backlash. These girls are too predictable.

I'm a first time reader and I lowkey disagree. I have yet to start Halfblood Prince, but so far I found books having too much unnecessary things. Only thing missing in the movies is the Marauders chapter from TPOA.

i think prisoner of azkaban and order of the phoenix did a great job of adapting the books. the prisoner movie has like 90% of the content from the book, and as much as the order movie is a very watered down version of the book all the relevant stuff is still there. of course they cut out A LOT from the order movie, and that being my favorite book i'd love to see things like the rita skeeter interview, the astronomy test where the death eathers fight against hagrid and mcgonagall, and of course more of the battle of the ministry. but overall the adaption did its job.

 

goblet of fire and half blood prince on the other hand are atrocious adaptions. A LOT of stuff was cut out. most of the things ignored in the goblet movie are subplots but those plots are heavily linked to the main plot and without them a lot of things don't make sense. and half blood prince... not only they cut out most of the important stuff but they did it in favor of turning the movie into a teenager romcom. awful choices all around.

I'm actually excited to start HBP because I love movie and whole dark vibe but yeah romance kind of ruins the momentum every time but I heard book is not like that, and it seems to me like it's fan favorite

I still don't understand how they fumbled the ball so hard with the HBP adaption. In my opinion that should've been the easiest book to adapt, but they butchered the whole thing trying to make it a teen comedy. But the book is great.

Anticipating race switches and outrage- Ron def will be, mark my words.

 

Practically every iconic red headed character in Hollywood has been.

Hermione is the most likely. I don't think they'll do the Weasly Family since its such an important/notorious trait

 

Harry could be tan too, i've seen lots of fan arts with him looking ambiguosly tan rather than pale, I haven't read the books, but it seems like those artworks are based on book Harry.

 

I just need to know who will be playing my man AKA Draco :giraffe:

I wonder who's gonna be the first one to hook up with Dumbledore in the series :suburban:

HBP is my fav movie because of the dark vibe it gives but the movie was dreadful story wise. The book has so much that was cut from the movie that should have been included.

Can't wait to start reading it after I finish Gillian Flynn's Dark Places. I took few months off after finishing Order because it was too long and I wanted to read something new.

off topic but is dark places any good? i've been sitting on a copy for ages and i've always been skeptical about reading it...  i've never read any gillian books but i love the gone girl and sharp objects adaptions :celestial5:
