Everything You Need to Know About the Harry Potter TV Show!

- WB and Max, formerly HBO Max, have confirmed a Harry Potter reboot series is happening. Here are 20 details we know so far that will get you caught up on everything you need to know.
It all starts with Max, formerly HBO Max, which will be the home for a new television series - a retelling of the original 7 Harry Potter books.
Early rumors said one book per season, but now we know that won’t be the case. Max announced their plans for this to be a decade long series.
My guess would be the first few books will match the 1 book per 1 season rate. But once we hit Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, I would expect things to stretch out a bit more.
All of this will ultimately be decided by the writers and showrunners once they’re in place.

A new scripted Harry Potter television series is coming! The series will be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter books, marking a momentous new chapter for the Wizarding World. Here’s everything we know so far.
In April 2023, it was revealed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max Streaming Press Event that the Harry Potter books are to be adapted into a new TV series.
The news comes in tandem with the announcement that US streaming giant HBO Max will soon become Max - and the new Harry Potter television series will be a Max Original when it launches in the US. .
The new adaptation will introduce you to a new cast for a new generation of fandom, and will be full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters and dramatic locations we have loved for over 25 years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and his incredible adventures to new audiences around the world.
The Harry Potter books were first adapted for the screen back in 2001, paving the path for what would become a beloved 8-film series that we still celebrate today. They will always be at the heart of the magic, but we are excited to hear we will have the opportunity to relive these stories in exciting new ways.
Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content described Harry Potter as a ‘cultural phenomenon’.
“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” he said. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
J. K. Rowling, who will serve as an Executive Producer said of the news: “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series.”

In theory I like the idea: fleshing things out with a longer adaptation, hours per novel, you can really go in-depth and keep it serious and grounded. But in practice I wonder if it will deliver. You've already got hugely successful movies that everyone is bound to compare it to, if you hire kids will you keep them on for every passing season, etc.
Totally agree. They definitely have an uphill battle.
@@RetroRaconteurthe difference between fantastic beasts and this is that jk won't be writing it so it has a chance to be successful
@@MyBitch925 Why? They will still complain money goes to her like Hogwarts Legacy.
@@MyBitch925you realize that JK created the entire Harry Potter world right?
We get it you hate her because you’re a liberal and think she’s Satan.
But she’s an excellent writer
I’m watching every episode, regardless.
If they stick to "faithful" adaptation and not go the route of "reimagined for a modern audience", it should be great. I read the books as a teen, and while I enjoyed the movies, I'd love to see more depth from the books. Take the time necessary to build the story.
I’m really happy that the later longer Harry Potter books are taking more then 1 season because I fell like a lot of thing were left out in the movie
I dislike more than 1 season per book
I hope they’re just 1 season each with more episodes per season
@@dylanbruhhh4208 More episodes would definitely work for bigger books, that's a great idea.
I am so happy that Disney is not producing this
You can d a lot with the series! I mean, imagine not just hearing about what James did at school, but actually having episodes dedicated to showing it. Learning more about James, Sirius, Lupid, Peter, Lilly and Snape and more as they show it in between episodes. Maybe switch from their time to Harry's time. We can see how the Marauders are fighting in the war, we can see the stuff about the secret keeper, Peter getting blown up and the betrayal during season 3 as Harry learns about it. You can do a whole lot with it all to show new stuff to keep this from just being a reboot, but to make something new out of it. That and the tonloads of details they couldn't fit in the movies. You can have 12 to 20 episodes a season that way easily without it getting boring and getting filler episoders like so many shows do nowadays.
Heck, you could even show more of Voldemorts time at Hogwarts, watch him grow from that creep little boy into the creepy wizard, get some backstory in there before season 6 where Harry and Dumbledore travel through Voldemort's past.
I just hope they take their time to write the story out good so it all flows together. This could potentially be a series that will be remembered for a long time with fondness. They just need to stick to the lore and keep politics out of there to push their agenda. Keep it faithfull to the books as it was written back then, and not the revisions J.K Rowling loves to make... THAT is my only concern.
I think, unfortunately, that, like mostly everything made nowadays, it will be filled with annoying politics and changes to appeal to "modern audiences." Even Rowlin herself has shown us plenty of times how she likes to play those games. I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm very leery of this series being made during these times. I'm not looking forward to black Hermione, or a made-up episode about Dumbledore's romance with Grindewald like they did with the third episode of The Last of Us show.
I'm guessing they are going to stick to the books and limit backstories to what is written in the books. There is more than enough content there without the need for extra backstory. The first two books are shorter, so they might add some extra stuff in the first two seasons that aren't in the books.
Yeah let's not get carried away with all that 'expanding'
thats not a remake, that would be a seperate series exploring the universe and characters people love
not what they are doing, they are just churning out another shitty woke reskin for the tik tok generation that will butcher everything good about the originals
Then why not just make a movie about the past? it would make more sense
I love that you used the Jeremy Soule music at the beginning, one of my favorite OSTs
Yes! It's a classic 😄
I, too, have been a fan since prior to the movies and to be perfectly honest, I ALWAYS thought Harry Potter should've been a series on a premium cable network like HBO because their pockets are deep enough. You'd also be afforded the time to tell the stories more fully, covering side plots that, while not integral to the main plot (ex. S.P.E.W., time spent at Grimauld Place, The Marauders, etc.), they still have importance, show character development, or just help to make other things make more sense.
So I'm actually really excited about it as this seems like exactly what they're promising to do. 🤞🏾💜
Yes! Fingers crossed they do it justice! And hopefully we'll get some new info soon.
The reference to "a decade" doesn't necessarily mean that there will be more than one season per book. It more likely just means they won't be able to churn out a new season every year.
Good point.
My thought exactly! Wouldn’t make sense to add nonsense that isn’t there if they’re trying to be as accurate as possible.
What I see happening is Order of the Phoenix may be like 16 episodes while Prisoner of Azkaban may be 9. So one season may take longer to film and such.
Yeah, it wouldn't make sense to end a season halfway through a book since none of them have a mid-way climax. Also, each book has a very defined start and end, so they couldn't span a season across two books.
The only book I could see them possibly splitting is Deathly Hallows due to it having a very linier story and unlike the other books, which mainly take place at Hogwarts, Deathly Hallows spends most of its time in other locations with each having a pretty distinct story.
But I'm sure it will just be 7 seasons.
What I'm most interested in seeing is what they might keep from the film adaptation. Of anything they could borrow from the films, the look of the castle could be pretty devisive. People could say that keeping it the same would make it too similar, but at the same time the look and layout has become almost synonymous with the books.
It it were up to me, I'd keep a similar exterior, but the interior they can change up to fit the books. I feel like of all locations, Hogwarts castle is the one they did the most justice.
“Faithful adaptation” that’s all i want :)
Wait until they throw some bs in there to pander to wokeness....we will see how faithful this will be.
I can only hope no black hermonie. She is literally white in the books.
Yeah, no race swap for anything I'm sick of that lol keep it true ppl probably won't watch 🤷🏻♀️.
BUT BUT EQUALITYY
It’s worse, they are gonna be trans
i would hate it with passion.. and I am black btw
They obviously will race swap someone, which is annoying because there’s already loads of other characters they could focus on
Well I'm glad that's happening. Gives us a chance to see some of the intricate stories and side plots from the books that didn't make it to the films.. And hey, even if it sucks, we will always have the original movies, which are awesome!
Got to say, I would love a spin off movie / series where you follow an unspeakable. I think it would be really interesting to see what they do in that specific job.
I'd also love to see a series following the Marauders, and something following a Auror.
These 3 would be really cool to see.
But I am happy about more content, even if it is a reboot.
Agreed! So many fun and original stories they could tell.
The auror story could be following post-books Harry.
In a way, where the franchise is currently reminds me of the Star Wars sequels. They finally stopped following the Skywalker Saga and you started getting other stories. Although, they still are sticking too close to the Skywalker era itself. I'd love to see spin-offs of the kind you speak of: unspeakables, aurors, etc. I know people want a Marauders spin-off, but I confess that really dislike James, young Sirius, young Remus (somewhat), and Pettigrew, so I'm not rooting for that one.
@@matthewpatrick7263 As long as it's not the Harry we get from the Cursed Child (the play that shall not be named), and as long as we don't get queerbaiting with Albus and Scorpius.
@@Nemo_Anom The cursed fanfic has nothing to do with my idea. It's incompatible with canon. I was thinking of Harry just starting out as an auror. His kids are probably not even born yet.
I will keep my expectations in check, but I like the idea of a longer series adaptation of the books. I got into the series through the movies, and am now reading through the books for the first time and I’m thoroughly enjoying the experience. I’m excited to see a new adaptation to the books completely separated from the movie interpretations!
We do need a reboot. It's been 25 years since the first book was published and we didn't get a faitful adaptation yet. Harry Potter movies are not even close in faithfulness to Lord of the Rings so while being quite successful and iconic, a reboot is still very much neeeded. Also, I think it is important to expand the wizarding world but to do so the main saga characters and the lore must be well-known to the general public to make spin-off stories successful and I mean more than 10 main characters or something.
I liked the movies but loved the books. If I hadn't read the books, I probably would have loved the movies more. I'm really looking forward to this series. They can cover all the things that couldn't be covered in the movies. MAX can put forth a budget and time to make a quality product to look forward to.
All I hope for is that they dive deep into Tom Riddle/Voldemort story and we see everything that happens.
I hope and pray for this
For sure! Definitely something the movies didn’t go as deep on as they should have.
Just give me a Lupin showing up at Grimmauld Place and getting told off by Harry in the Deathly Hallows and I'll be happy. I was furious that they cut the Tonks and Lupin story lines out of the movies
The thing I love the most about HP is the magic and happiness surrounding it. With the films, each one grows darker and darker and does not have as much time to show the happier side of things. I think with a series we'll be able to dive deeper into the magical world we all know and love, while still following the correct story line.
I really hope they don't give up after a couple years if it doesn't hit the numbers match what they wanted. Studios seem to drop projects when it isn't overly profitable. They really need to follow through completely. And they NEED to make sure to not lose and have to recast actors.
i personally think we do need a reboot or at least a version that does cover the book faithfully, - i personally think a really solid animated show may have been a slightly better choice but im down for any harry potter content really
I think this series could benefit from the years of perspective. The movies were a thematic mess because the screenwriters had no idea which plot lines/characters would be most important in the endgame. So I wish them luck!!
This is gonna be soo good. I hope the characters hit good and not a flat version of them
A Decade seems a bit of a stretch, with lots of superfluous details that can/will be added that doesn't really add much to the plot, especially when the books can be finished even via audiobooks pretty fast even just listening and reading for 30 mins a day
I think they are emphasizing 'decade' because I doubt that you'll get a whole new season of the show on a precise yearly rate.
“Oh, and that Newt guy” 😂
😆😆😆
I get what they’re doing this story to me makes more sense to be a series based type show over movies. These stories have a lot of detail an the perfect type of imagery when you can stretch the stories out an it still remain interesting.
I’m excited to see a more fleshed out version that’s closer to the books, but I honestly would have rather had a series based on a different era. I would love a Founder’s series or something based on the Marauders
I don't think such series could be successful but they could make it into a game.
I'm okay with this reboot so long as it's actually able to deliver that close and in-depth adaptation. But I would love: 1) Aurors series 2) Unspeakables series (Wizarding x-files anyone?!), 3) Founders series 4) a dark wizard series (where it paints dark wizards with some sympathy and nuance, and they are able to get stuff over on the aurors)
I mean it's pretty obvious that that this would bring in more interest, and if it's a success they will inevitably make spinoffs. at least that's what I believe the plan to be. Sort of like how HBO are expanding the Game of Thrones universe as it's flagship series.
As long as they stick to the books and not just a copycat reboot of Harry Potter I'm good with it. They always change something from the book. And when you see it in a movie somethings are like what the hell? So many things taken out. I get it. Movie. But look what Steven King's The stand. Like deathly hollows as well. Depending on where in each book you end l for next one to start. Make 2 part or even 3 .
if its good im fully supporting this. im buying all the blu rays if they become available.
So excited!!!!! The movies were lacking details from the books. And now this! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 I've grown up with harry potter, reliving that joy and magic will be incredible ( not that ive lost that at all lol) /*
Yep, I’m cautiously optimistic!
I think all the old actors can play their parents or something like that :D I mean the parent role that would be a lot of money xd
Im just worried how they are gonna make it fast enough to age with some of the younger cast, and how they will age into the roles
Looking at this from a different perspective, possibly, I think it is highly possible to have seen things, seeing who was involved (the levels at which are certainly involved in all that evil), and walking away from that because he, CT, was not about going down that path, sell his soul for higher fame.
the fact that JKR will be directly involved, a studio like HBO is taking the sword instead of some other streaming service, and they plan to take 10 years minimum on it gives me hope and comfort. I mean 10 years gives a ton of wiggle room and time to really dive deep into the universe. Id also hope JK would be obliged to expand the universe just a little during the series. it would be cool get like little add ons to flesh out the story just a tad straight from JK. I mean so many things happen off the pages that a tv show could easily bring it all to light. Like seeing Voldemort coming back from a death eater's perspective or Voldemort himself. Possibilities are endless if they play it smart. The universe is so big and its a bummer at times that the main series is so focused on Harry, shine the light on some other aspects JK tried to do in the books. The Tv show will have that opportunity to do that now. I mean Harry is great protagonist and all. But what's a day with Arthur at the ministry or Voldemort creating his Horcruxes. I also think HP is one of those series that will make a super good tv show in my opinion. It gives me that Game of Thrones vibe with all the potential characters that can be followed things that are happening all at the same time behind the scenes.
The fanfiction community has fully explored the universe and help fix most of the plot holes
I have a storng attachment to the current charecters, itd be difficult to see a transition. Theyd have to do a REALLY good job. But thankfully JKR and the old producer will be around. Thats very promising. 👌
Not difficult at all, Daniel, Emma and Rupert weren't even that good of The Golden trio
When I first heard about the new adaptation, I was pretty worried it would be garbage. Then, now that I know JKR is directly and hands-on involved, and David Heyman may be coming on-board, but that David Yates is out, it gives me more hope. Also, I think a long-form TV project is much more conducive to a close and in-depth adaptation, which is the only reason I'd watch something like this. While Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint are iconic to those roles, I don't want them back in any capacity. They've disrespected Rowling enough.
It could still be one book per season over a decade, just each season wouldn’t come out perfectly a year later
True! I would hope they don’t skip any years but that’s definitely a possibility.
Nah
@@nevermindgaming6848 why not? The films did the same thing..
@@RetroRaconteur Yeah I hope so too, but it could be the case. Also it could just be that the seasons come out a year and a few months after each other, so that adds up to around 10 years over 7 seasons
Maybe the later seasons will be released in multiple chunks, rather than the entire season at once? Does HBO Max do that?
There’s so many’s moments that I want to see on the big screen like them, sneaking away Hagrid’s dragon in the first book
Yep, that’s a good one that will hopefully make it in.
This has a lot of potential.
Agreed. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻
Will they stretch it out or will there be a year or two in the decade where we won't get a new season.
1:25 THE SUBTLE SHADE 😂
I actually wouldn't mind a show for Lily and James' years
Maybe after this show ends and make a prequel show and make it canon to the show.
I do think they can manage the Goblet of Fire, the Order of the Phoenix, and the Deathly Hallows into one singular season,
by make each episode longer than 1 hour, maximum at 1.45 hours, like Game of Thrones final season or the majority of House of the Dragon season 1.
Yeah I guess they could do 10 years, but just not release new seasons every year.
@@RetroRaconteur Definitely.
Also, I personally guess that they might take a gap between three seasons to fit 10 years production period.
Like, by releasing the first three seasons in a row, assume it to be 2025-2027, then take a break in 2028,
and release the fourth season in 2029. This could make the production team be able to take their time in developing
the much bigger scale story that begin with The Goblet of Fire, which has bigger production, more new characters to introduce, etc.
Given the state of reboots these days, I have zero hope for this being a faithful adaption of the books.
I don't think i was ever this excited and glad for a tv show.
Good to hear some are looking forward to it. I feel like so much of the online reaction has been negative 😅
@@RetroRaconteur Trust me, all of that is about JK Rowling and her views. People don't like her so they try to ruin everything about her. I honestly don't care about that side of things and just want the show to be good.
I really wanted a Marauders Story.. That would have been awesome.
How cool! Hope they produce in the UK
How many videos are you going to make that are very similar to each other ?
I’m into it, but it’ll be strange (almost like betrayal?) 😂, since I grew up with the books as they came out & the movies are really nostalgic.
I hope they dive into as well the story of regulus black
Daniel should play Voldy. LMAO
the important is that they won't do any monstruosities like The Rings of Power
I think they'd have been better off starting this much further back in the timeline and telling the story of the whole timeline. From young Dumbledore, to young Voldemort, to the Marauders, to Voldemort's rise and the war with The Order, to finally the Harry Potter era.
they sure make it that peeves is in the series
I've always thought a TV series about the kids (of main characters) in school exploring Hogwarts would make a good show. One season per year at school. There is soo much to explore in the castle. Secrets, magic, ect. This is kind of trampled on now that the cursed child is out.
Uhhh…Cursed Child 🤦🏻♂️
I'd say whoever's alive in 20 years will probably see that
wouldn’t make sense. there’s no story that NEEDS to be told with their children
The movies were good, but they missed so much, from the books that were important! I am also hoping that they bring Peeve from the books on the show!
It may just be me but love to have series focus around the time of the four founders to learn more about them or even series on Merlin in Harry Potter world
That could be absolutely epic, for sure. For such important characters, I feel like we really don’t know that much about the founders.
@@RetroRaconteur riiiight and plus on side note can't just be creator of something and talk about Merlin and don't go into detail with him he is like one my favorite fictional character
I can’t wait for season four to have a season. Long beast story of SPEW. I just re-watched goblet of fire and realized that all of Hermione’s characterizations were sort of more or less correct with the novels, but they never really gave a reason for it except for she’s upset with Ron which wasn’t it and she was upset with Ron because he fought her on the SPEW and it accidentally made them look more immature than they actually were in the source material in my opinion
I can’t wait let’s go bring it on ❤😂🎉😢😮😅
I'm not hyped until they are in the making or confirming anywhere that Book 5 for example gets WAY more screentime than Book 1. I really hope they don't think in 8 episodes per season each 1h long and each season reprises one book.
And I don't get why people really think actors like Toby Woolf or Bronte Carmichael are considered by the media as possible cast members for Harry and Hermione for example. Like they are currently 16/17 years old, when filming starts about 18+. You can't put an 18 yo in the role of an 11 yo. Actors for this series should grow with it like seen in the movies.
As we have learned from things like LOTR compared to RoP as long as the creators have a passion and respect for the books, things will be fine.
Wouldn't this be extremely difficult since most main characters are children and a decade would age the actors to an uncomfortable degree by the end of the decade?
If this would be an issue, isn't it better to have an animated series instead?
Please God no more reboots
Great video, thank you! Do you have a link for the footage near the 20 second mark?
Glad you enjoyed it! The footage is from the Max announcement event. Currently, the full event is still available at the link here: live.wbd.com/ The Potter and Game of Thrones info comes near the very end.
@@RetroRaconteur them you!
Thanks for the vid!
Np problem. Glad you enjoyed it!
Let us hope this show does not become contaminated by the woke pandemic.
As long as it has peeves, I’ll be happy. I love that poltergeist
Haha. Peeves is a MUST.
I would prefer a series focused after the cast became adults. Not the cursed child, but Harry and gang working and being adults. After all, we were the same age when they were kids and now we’re adults
Just thank the stars that Disney and Kathleen Kennedy don’t have their paws on this
Don't take this the wrong way but I hope Hermione isn't black
In the book she's quite literally described as "bushy brown hair, brown eyes, with rather large front teeth" which some may already see as a red flag
And the book constantly points out her "pale" or "peachy" skin...
We have actually black characters like Angelina Johnson and Dean Thomas who do more than stand around in the books. So why not actually express the characters of colors characters.. and leave the main cast alone..
(Also Angelina Johnson was the only Gryffindor in Harry's grade old enough to put her name in the Goblet of Fire and I love her enthusiasm. Even if Cedric ends up representing Hogwarts and Harry is forced.)
Oh they might mess up way more....they will put some obvious rainbow-warriors in there for no reason I think (because Dunbledore wasnt gay enough). Lets see how faithful to the original this stuff will be. I have doubts. But maybe they will get Hagrids love interest right...she was described to have olive skin in the books but she was white in the movies.
@@calistafalcontail They could also cut Hagrid's mother and the other house elves again, or they may keep butchering Ron again because of a writer having favoritism towards Hermione. Unfortunately their is a lot they can get wrong over right, I think they should just work smarter about it and not harder.
Justice for Ron!
Hah! Indeed 😆
i am looking forward for goblet of fire and order of phoenix
Definitely!
I love the movies and the cast was full of stars that it would be to recast the roles but I do believe that the cast of the tv series should be entirely new.
Thanks for adding the Soule music! And I hope hope hope that JK will be as involved as she can.
After hearing about the different wizarding schools around the world with unique things i would much rather each season be at a different school i love Hogwarts but have a fascination particularly with Uagadou after meeting natty in Hogwarts legacy
if peeves doesn't make it in this mf I'm rioting lol
Haha. They know Peeves better be in there.
I expect them to possibly increase the episode count of GoF and OOTP and so forth…
Yep, I mention that in video. I agree.
Might sound awesome at the start but for us older fans i think the magic of the movies were the characters in the movies and clearly we will not see them at least the 3big ones. But if done right it could become great if the people are picked right. Also as a big fan of HP i am i did not read the books so no info on that in my case.
I would better bet overall on Hogwarts Legacy sequel for the wizard world then from the TV show but i might be wrong only time will tell.
I understand your thoughts but since when i was young i was happy with the HP movies i don't want to risk reading or hearing the audio books if they are better and i feel they are they will make me wish to see it happend and since it never will i will only be disappointed. So better keep my happy memories then get sad ones if you know what i mean.@@stefanvandersandt3956
They should do a different one like movies like younger tom or younger James and Lilly
They need to do a spin off focusing on the creation of Hogwarts and the original four wizards who created it that could be amazing if done right
You already know this series is gonna get clowned on massively when the first trailer drops, it really will just look like harry potter from Wish to a lot of people
Haha. For sure, some will hate on it no matter what.
@@RetroRaconteuri definitivt want to see dobby more in this reboot for sure spinx
It's all about profits ultimately, doesn't necessarily equate to quality, especially these days. The story has already been told as well, but I assume it's more about getting in a whole new audience. Kids can "grow up" with "this" Harry Potter, not the one that people 30+ years old did with the movies.
The movies lack so much detail from the books
A faithful adaptation? I will believe that only if/when I see a cast without any "swaps"
Fantastic Beasts and the Cursed Child don’t even come close to the potential of a Marauders series, a Hogwarts founders series or even just a Voldemort series. One is based off of a text book and the other was written by two man who seemed to have skimmed the books while half paying attention to the movies. Also when the pervious movies were coming out the books were still being written with the first movie coming out around the time of the third book. Now that the book series has been finished and people have had time to sit with characters and plot lines I’d say now is a great time for this series. I’d want a full new cast with as little cameos as possible as I find it distracting and overdone these days. Make the stories the most important part and cast good actors that will only get better. Fix Ron, Hermoine, Neville etc, put back in the small details and make this the definitive series. Maybe try to clean up some of the plot holes and trim so of the fat that exists in the book and previous movies and make this series as close to the books as you can get. I love the previous movies and the books more than anything and I’d love to see a series that treats the stories with as much love as the fans do.
This can fix all the errors the movies committed character-wise and story-wise.
The problem is Hollywood doesn't have the same spark and talent as it had. It's gone really down hill in recent years.
Honestly adult daniel radcliffe would make a great Remus as would Felton as lucius
No. Keep Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint far away. The way they disrespected Rowling shouldn't give them more work with the franchise.
As long as it doesn't go woke
I want Rosamund Pike to play Narcissa 🙏
Ohh, I could see that!
or Vanessa Kirby.
Just keep it as original to the books as possible, no spinoffs or fantastic beast nonsense. And please direct it as the first two movies being mysterious and wholesome
Unfortunately Americans have a long history of taking English TV series/movies and Americanizing them, which immediately destroys all the original charm they had. I also don't want to see a reboot because I already know how these stories run and end.
The moment they start hiring american actors I'm done. This has more potential for failure than anything else.
What? You're telling me that Rupert Grint isn't reprising his roll as Ron? Goddamn bullshit!
One book per season is still a possibility if they dont release one season per year which is very possible
Fair point!
So first off, depsite hating rowling, I am so excited for the show because there were some stuff in the books I wanted to see in the films and couldn't. Also I think Daniel should come back as James, similar to how people want Lucious to be played by Tom. Just a thought. I dont even really like the films after Prisoner of Askaban. Okay, that's it.
Ginny and Harry’s relationship felt off and weird in the books as well
Yeah, what chemistry in the books are we talking about? Ginny was pretty much just Ron's little sister to Harry through books 1-5 and then BAM, they're boyfriend/girlfriend in book 6. No build-up at all.
Always wanted it to be Harry and hermione. Both Harry/Ginny and
Ron/Hermione felt weird to me
@@DavidAnderson-pw2es I agree 100%

I wouldn't say that the original Harry Potter books had the absolute best written romance ever..., but it was still fucking *MILES* better than how the romance was written and portrayed in the movies lol... And I really don't know how it ended up that way considering the fact that the Harry Potter movies actually had some foresight into which characters were going to end up together by the end of the series but the romance still ended up being *way* worse than it was in the original Harry Potter books...
That " *Shoelace* " scene from the Half-blood Prince movie still has me *cringing* 😬...
I am 100% behind this project because - unlike so many current adaptations - I believe that this will be true to the source material and something FOR the fans rather than something FOR the showrunners, not dissimilar to Peter Jackson's LotR trilogy, but with even greater faithfulness. Of course so many of the original cast were so incredibly iconic in their roles, the hardest part will be replacing them BUT as long as we don't start seeing the idiotic race-baiting/swapping, gender-baiting/swapping 'agenda' that has permeated so many other once-beloved franchises (the MCU, The Wheel of Time, Rings of Power, The Witcher, etc.), this is destined to be a success. I suspect that Rowling and Zaslov are of similar minds about all that DEI garbage and this will be one of the franchises that leads us back out of the post-Endgame desert as common sense and actual appreciation for the fans (as opposed to blatant contempt) once again becomes the norm.
I think this is so necessary! I hated the movies. They were just parts of the books and no more. The plot was not clear at all.
It should be animated!
I don't think they'd do it, but I'd definitely watch that!
Whoooa no David Yates?! No offense, but I find that very exciting!
