      The main reasons it hasn’t happened yet is probably JK not feeling it, possible disrespect to the movie cast and crew, and no one feeling ready to take on such a massive production. It would be one of the biggest shows ever made even if it sucked.

      I can definitely see HP as a TV series in like 10/15 years when the movies have been around for quite a while. Because there are scenes that the movies do not have, that I would like to see. Though, I cannot see anyone other than Alan Rickman as Snape

      definitely. Would be even better if they'd add a bit of additional HP lore, like some more depth of character origins, or just additional stuff the Trio does during their magic years. There's hardly any wizard-school-stuff in the movies except for "its not leviosa is leviooooosa", whereas the books have plenty and it is so fun to read about both their daily school stuff as well as the main plot

      One big problem with making the first 3-4 movies was that the actors were children. And some law in England said that children could only work as actors for a few hours each day. I've heard the number 4-4,5 hours each day. So they could not spent 12 hours every day making the film. The director was under a terrible time schedule.

      People have heard many lies about the Harry Potter stories origin.
      One lie being: Jo Rowling was on a delayed train after a day-out house hunting in 1990 when the story of Hary Potter popped into her head, fully formed.
      I know this because Jo Rowling did not create the stories in the first place.
      She claimed that, at the time of writing the story, she was suicidal.
      She has amazed everyone who has heard her lies about the story.
      That steered her prey into thinking how brilliant an author she is, writing one novel after another - until the series of Harry Potter stories was published.
      Not once has Jo Rowling told the true origins of Harry Potter.
      I know this because I am the original creator of the stories that inspired Jo Rowling to begin writing the long-winded novels of the Harry Potter series.
      I began a story that became the Harry Potter series in 1978 while I was a soldier in the Australian Army.
      After leaving the force on which I based my wizard boy series, I spent several years creating the artwork for the stories, which began as a series of storyboards.
      My wizard story was to become "The best story for children, for the film".
      The reason for that was I was a cinema projectionist when I began to create the story.
      Over the years in the Army, I drew the artwork for the scenes in my primary story.
      It became so long that to make it into a movie would have resulted in a production that would have been about 12 hours long.
      That caused me to divide my storyboard into five sets for which I created titles.
      A visiting friend, Alan Page, picked up my binder-ring file that contained the storyboard drafts.
      Alan opened the file and moved it over my lap.
      While I sat in my lounge chair, Alan began pointing at things and asking questions about my stories in that file.
      He got me to read aloud all five title names, then asked me if there were any more title names.
      I thought his question was rude and imposing into what was very private information, so I thought of two more title names and read them out to him - after having written them down beneath the other title names on my note work on the Harry Potter series.
      A picture can present a story in itself.
      I had many drawings in my drawing file.
      I had hundreds of stories set in the form of storyboards - all with written names of the main characters and creatures and features in them.
      The delayed-train Jo Rowling speaks of having been on, then thought up the story of Harry Potter was not real.
      Jo Rowling has cooked her golden goose.
      What I began to create as a story to inspire children grew to suit an older audience over the years I was in the Army.
      After my military service years, the story developed with drawings I drew and added to my stories.
      At some time, my design and story files got stolen from my home. Years afterwards, I was bewildered from not knowing what had happened to my work of about 30 years.
      I was without any project to further- develop, as my stories became novels, productions or products made that were once my inventions.
      Jo Rowling is nothing to me but a well-paid plagiarist who habitually lies to keep the unsuspecting readers and followers of her dastardly well-played-out plan she has been casting out over the world's people since day one when she first made an ugly-duckling appearance in front of news media.
      Quacking about how poor she was as her mother was dying, she kept her biggest secret to herself.
      The reader may find THE LIAR BIRD poem of interest.
      I wrote it in a depressed state of mind after many months of heartache and anguish.
      You can find it at jkrawling.tumblr.com.
      The stories I storyboarded grew long as I added drawings to them.
      They had to be segmented and transformed into a series of smaller stories.
      That meant that Jo Rowling had to write about each drawing's elements and the storylines presented within those drawings I had drawn.
      The video [Conversation between JK Rowling and Steve Kloves (2011) - Me3SbSWhICg] highlights why a story gets far too long that it must be divided into smaller segments and therefore requires more productions produced.
      I accept Jo Rowling has put a lot of effort and time into writing up my stories of the Harry Potter series - but I am the original creator of much of the stories content.
      Because of the theft of my work on those stories, followed by plagiarism, I am not known for my authorship of what took me about 17 years to create.
      That is an enormous loss to me personally and financially.
      I accept my loss, but Jo Rowling is simply a well-paid plagiarist, in my view.

      Why can't they be accepted as they are? Are you a girl who likes to do childish things? Are you a boy who likes to do girlish things? ... Well guess what: you can do whatever you want, if you are a child who wants to play with dolls, play with dolls, if you are a child who likes children, then go out with whoever you want.
      Are you a girl who likes girls? Well dating a girl, just because you like women doesn't mean you're a man

      My personal opinion people saying Ron Weasley was done dirty in the movies.. for someone who has read the books.. I completely disagree when people say that.. now when people say Ginny Weasley was done dirty in the films I completely agree! But Ron Weasley in films in my opinion he doesn’t get enough credit and people say he doesn’t have enough stand out moments or his character to shine I completely disagree so while yes I would of added more to his character but I think the performance by Rupert Grint made up for that because he played Ron Weasley so incredibly well and was still a great loyal friend to Harry and Hermione and he was the glue to the Trio and kept them together! I didn’t mind the comedy their added to his character it wasn’t just butt of jokes like Finn from the Star Wars sequel trilogy.. Ron in movies was fine really good just not perfect but you could say same thing about Harry and Hermione you can nitpick anything from any character in these movies.. just my opinion compare to some other books to movie adaptation Harry Potter was done perfect and I don’t think the TV series is going to capture that magic!

    To be honest, I still think Steve Kloves hated Ron as a character. Kloves spent most of the films turning Ron into a walking punch-line, and only gave him a few good moments at the end because Rowling made it crystal-clear in the last book that Ron was always more than just a joke. It would also explain why Steve Kloves gave so many of Ron's best moments to Hermione, and why the films made Hermione Ron's role as Harry's closest friend and ally.
    Seriously, Rupert Grint deserved better than the meagre characterisation he was given.

      and dont get me started on how horrendous he made Ginny,, i have always visualized her to be a strong girl, stronger than hermione perhaps. she grew up with SIX boys and had to constantly be overshadowed by them. she felt merely misunderstood by everyone around her, hence everything that happens in the second book. then in the fifth book, you really get to see Ginny's badass side, you really get to see that she is one badass woman like her mother, she was funny, brave and not afraid of anything, not to mention that she has a very strong personality. and that the reason why Harry fell in love with her. In the movie Ginny is just this girl who is obsessed with this famous teenage boy. i was, and still am, very disappointed in how Ginny was made to look in the movies.

      At least Rupert Grint had it better than Bonnie Wright (who played Ginny). Bonny Wright only had just *two* moments in the whole series where she was actually given something to work with, one when she told Draco to leave Harry alone- and two when she shouted at the whole Quidditch team to "SHUT IT!"
      Those were the only moments where she was like Ginny from the book. Otherwise she was an extremely awkward human being and Bonnie Wright, even if she didn't look it, must've been bored out of her mind when doing the role of Ginny.

It's especially frustrating, considering that Rowling used the book characters to subvert those expectations; Ron actually fits the mould of 'love interest' for the lead (since he is the emotional support), whereas Hermione has the sidekick thing of having talents that the main hero does not. The films mangling of the characters completely wrecked all those subverted tropes.

      I agree with them that Rupert hasn't got much cred for his acting, but I think it IS about the script. It actually did make a prat out of him more than once. He's not the complex person in the films that we meet in the books. He's almost never unpleasant in the films. And I too believe it's unfair, because when given a chance he's always proved why he was casted. The row between him and Harry in the last film was almost breathtaking. I also think they took the Lavender Brown character a few miles too far. She really was silly enough in the books without exaggerating.

    I must echo others and say that I would happily listen to Rowling talk to absolutely anyone about these books and their universe for hours on end. She is extraordinary. This was a fascinating conversation and I wish there were more like this. I love that I am only now seeing this even though it's 6 years old at the time of my writing here. ☺ This may be my favorite interview with her, in part because it's less an interview and more catching up with a good fiend she hasn't seen in ages. 🙂
    I have enormous admiration for her as a writer - her Cormoran Strike novels are excellent in their own right - but I'm also greatly inspired by her sensitivity and integrity concerning matters outside the realm of fiction. I am so glad that she is weathering all the storms swirling about her and the grotesque attacks aimed at her, and I wish her success and happiness in all her endeavors.

    Authors will never understand we don't need 8-hour films. We just need loyal adaptations. "Small" things such as Harry repairing his original wand and putting the Elder Wand back in Dumbledore's tomb. Why not at least repair his original wand before breaking the Elder? Leaving out Sirius' mirror in film 5 until film 8. Tonks not getting to tell Harry that she and Lupin were having a child. All of these things were unnecessarily changed or dropped and would've taken less than 1 minute in the film to get right. It's not about length, not about quantity, but QUALITY.

    • @Ranger1812

      Danyl Young The quality was off the charts.
      Putting the Elder Wand back where it's already been taken from once, then going off to become an Auror, the job with the highest chance of you being disarmed, beaten, or killed, is just dumb.
      However, snapping the Elder Wand is a completely selfless act. It breaks the cycle. Harry sees it as nothing more than a magnet for those who crave power above all else. To leave it intact is to take too big a chance of other megalomaniacs coming looking for it.
      Snapping it in two not only stops all the bloodshed and power-trips that go along with it, it also represents the breakdown of evil and corruption and prejudice that caused the all prior events to unfold.
      In the book, Harry puts it back in Dumbledore's grave believing, if he manages to go undefeated his whole life, the Elder Wand's allegiance will die with him. There's absolutely no evidence to support that; again, it's too big a risk.
      I understand that's a reason why Dumbledore wanted Snape to kill him. As he planned his death with Snape, he wouldn't have been overpowered, so its allegiance wouldn't change. That was an assumption on Dumbledore's part, though, and, I believe, an incorrect one. The Elder Wand is shown to be extremely fickle, much more so than any normal wand. It craves only power, not caring who its master is, so long as they beat the last person who owned it.
      Dumbledore wielded it for over half a century, and one Expellimarmus caused it to switch allegiance. That doesn't sound like something that's allegiance would die with you.
      I believe, if its master were to die in a manner other than murder, its allegiance would simply reset. It would lie there, waiting for a wizard to come and pick it up. They'd then become the master, and the cycle would start again.
      Snapping it ends that. It's the most selfless thing Harry could have done.
      Dumbledore always had a problem with the craving of power, and he would never pretend otherwise. By doing something Dumbledore perhaps couldn't bring himself to do, and something that brings peace, as Dumbledore desired, Harry truly honours him.
      Of course, I do wish they'd shown him repairing his own wand first, but, again, you can't deny there's real meaning behind him snapping it.
      As for Tonks being pregnant, she tried to tell everyone but Moody interrupted her. And having her way it only to later see her die wouldn't work as well as Reis revealing to he audience that she was pregnant. She did tell Harry, just as he did repair his wand, it just happened off-screen.

    I HATE that he claims Hermione is his favorite character, when he consistently wrote her as such a perfect immature view of a perfect woman. To not include her flaws-- her bossiness, stubbornness, closed-mindedness, anxiety, panic under pressure, etc.-- while claiming she is your favorite character just shows that he did not see or understand the real Hermione. This hurts because in mainstream society and media women are so often expected to be perfect in order to be likable or even valuable. His writing did a disservice to the complex character in the books and ultimately to women.

      People complain about Kloves because they can't stand the fact that Ron and Ginny aren't perfect. I read books and I never thought that Ron was undervalued. In fact books had his good moments and bad moments. People dislike Hermione because she likes to read and study. In my opinion movie made her better.

  • @johnr7279
    @johnr7279 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    This was so great to watch. Seeing the person interviewed that invented Harry and the entire "wizarding world" is really something to see. Harry Potter is something that the books translated quite well onto the screen. So, also very interesting to see what kind of thinking went into that. Even where the story had to bend and diverge a little was done in the best possible way. I wish the Tolkien films had turned out like this but they just did not.

  • @ceciliesrli1213
    @ceciliesrli1213 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    This dude's obsession with Hermione is the reason why Ron is underrated. The movies would be 10x times better if Kloves just kept his opinion to himself and not ruin one of the best characters in the whole franchise.
    Honestly Ron wasn't that bad in the movies but the prisoner of azkaban annoys the hell out of me. In the books he stood up for Snape for being unfair to Hermione, but in the movies he said: "He's got a point you know"
    But at the same time, I feel like he wasn't succesfull making Ron the worst golden trio member. Ron made a few obvious mistakes but Harry and Hermione made small mistakes all the time.
    Let's start with Hermione. I think Kloves needs to learn what a "nice" person is. Both movie Hermione and book Hermione has an ability to point out small mistakes and be annoyed at Ron when he says something. She also got mad at Ron for being with someone else than her when she didn't even tell him how she felt about him and she weren't even happy when her best friend for six years that have been shadowed by Harry finally got some attention. Hermione, you accepted Harry and Cho but Ron isn't allowed to be with Hermione. And then its the fact that she's a lot nicer to Harry and doesn't act to him like he's an idiot. She always forgive him for his mistakes but never Ron.
    And then there's Harry. I don't think Kloves made Harry an angry and self centered idiot on purpose but he defintley did. Harry also replies to Ron like he's an idiot and he never seems intrested when Ron tells him anything but on the other hand he loves talking about his own problems and Voldemort. And nobody's gonna talk about how he got angry at Ron when he just stood up to him. Ron stood up to Harry when Seamus called him a liar. Ron and Seamus were great friends and in the movies Ron went to Seamus when him and Harry were fighting. The fact that he got mad at a great friend for calling out his best friend. He also saved Harry from drowning, I know its not that relevant (because Steve Kloves is the director) but he also saved Tonks in deathly hallows part one, he killed Wormtail, saved Hermione from Bellatrix, he was the only one panicking when Hermione was screaming and more!
    In my opinion Harry is the worst golden trio member in the movies and Hermione in the books

    • @EscargoTouChaud
      @EscargoTouChaud 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I am not original enough to have a favourite, so I'll say this: the trio works with all their differences, strengths and flaws. Hermione's empathy and virtues are overlooked by those who criticise her. Yes, she can seem intellectually snobbish, but she IS smarter than many. Can you imagine being surrounded by peers who with few exceptions are slower than you? Would you NEVER roll your eyes or get annoyed?
      Furthermore, they need each other's qualities. Ron and Hermione's loyalty is according to me what keeps Harry sane. Hermione comes up with so many idead that are useful to them too; like the polyjuice potion and the bloody Dumbledore's Army!

I'm glad my children like them so much as I do and we discuss a lot about their personalities, actions, choices, feelings. And we compare ourselves with them. I think, these books help me a lot parenting my kids. Thanks, JKR!

  • @terabaap1775
    @terabaap1775 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

    The main reason I love Harry Potter is because I can connect with the main trio the most. I could connect with Harry the most, I almost always had the same thoughts as Harry, he'd do the exact same thing in a situation which I would expect myself to do if I were in his situation. I always felt like I was emotionally most attached to Harry. And also, most of the my friends perceived me as Hermione, so I could connect with Hermione greatly too. And, my best friends are like Ron, I love Ron because he's exactly like my best friends, he's my most favourite character in the entire series. This is why I love Harry Potter, I would connect mentally, emotionally and spiritually with it which is why it is my favourite series ❤
