- So far it’s only been a steady trickle of information on the new Harry Potter TV show, but after today’s news, we could be getting a lot more in the coming months.
Today I’ll talk through 5 recent updates on the Harry Potter reboot and get you caught up on everything you need to know.
WB Just Dropped New Details on the Harry Potter TV Show

═══════════ ⚡Official Details ═══════════
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.”

#HarryPotter #wizardingworld - บันเทิง
I know a lot of people are not so excited for this reboot but as somebody who's a big fan of the books I'm pretty excited as a lot of people don't understand that it's not adapting the movie is adapting the books that the movies missed out
Yeah, I'm remaining optimistic! And I agree, I'm not looking for it to replace the movies. Just give us a different look - and hopefully a more in-depth one - at the story of Harry Potter.
@@RetroRaconteur exactly and also hopefully them to get Ron's character right that's the biggest thing I want for the reboot is get his character right don't get me wrong the actor of Ron in the movies did a fantastic job it was the script that got it wrong and gave most of Ron's best lines to Hermione
@@Max-eu9fpSassy Harry and better Ginny too! Less likeable Snape, Less rigid Dumbledore, more vulnerable Hermione rather than miss perfect. I could go on 😅 Overall, everyone has a lot more flaws and they are meaner at times. The movies took all that away and made it less relatable as a consequence.
@@damgful exactly especially sassy Harry which yes they showed a bit of that in the movies but he was a lot more sassy in the books and also especially Hermione and I hope they actually have Harry and Ginny have chemistry together in the show unlike in the movie where it was just so awkward where I had to look away
exactly 🙌🏼
Hoping they bring the books to life and leave their agendas at the front door. This has the potential to be either amazing or heartbreaking.
I think those days are over.
It’s very unlikely they’re not gonna push some political and social agenda. Which is crazy because people on the left trying to push social agendas is 100% The reason Hogwarts Legacy was the best selling game last year.
YES. You are speaking my heart on this exactly. After Cursed Play I was worried, but let'shope it doesn't end up like that.
Bella L
You know it will be a full on woke series. ESG/DEI on steroids. JKR may be the only one who can keep them in check by staying true to the books.
Exactly.
Man,Harry Potter is literally my drug. I need more and more of the movies,series,books,games and everything that has to do with this beautiful magical world. First time i saw a h.p movie i was like 6 years old. (i'm 26 now).
I wanna thank J.K Rowling for existing.
I'll remain optimistic until they inevitably use the term "modern audiences" in the marketing.
Exactly. It’ll most likely happen.. Hermione will probably be black lol I don’t know why.
Yep. If they woke it up I am done with her. Until then I'm good. I have cursed child issues, though. Strong dislike.
Bella L
@@jessejive117What's the problem with that? Let the actors with the best fit get the roles. Harry can be Indian if it's the best actor.
@@propogandalf The race DOES matter! What would you say if they made a show set in the Congo and they race swapped major characters and made them white? You'd probably have a different opinion. It seems to only be acceptable to erase white people.
@propogandalf I will have to disappoint your wokeness, they don’t plan on creating a black hermione or an Indian Harry . In fact they have recently said they will keep the characters book accurate and jk Rowling is the executive producer overseeing everything. She’s over that bull.
People are talking shit about this but I’m gonna say I’m excited because JK Rowling is involved and she will literally be able to make it as exactly as it was intended.
And with that I am concern.
No offense, but JK Rowling isn't exactly the person considering she keep retconing the books.
No, she won’t lol she literally said Hermione is black and has always been and she literally says she’s white in the book. No, she will definitely change things for social reasons which is not a good thing.
@@jessejive117 Not to mention Book Dumbledore made it feels like he was close friends with Grindelwald only toreveal they were gay when Gay Marriage seem to be open.
Nah Rowling proved she will sell out for money…. Look no further than the cursed child, how dare she say that trash is canon
@@jessejive117 color drain, pale, white - the context of those in the books could be considered relative to their normal face. Black people can look paler or 'whiter' than normal in a color drained from face scenario.
Hermione's hair could also describe hair more common to black people.
I think it's so strange that the race stuff matters this much to people. You created an image of Hermione in your mind and had the bias of Emma Thompson being white which made you think Hermione can only be white.
Hermione's family tree of her ancestors doesn't matter like it might be important for, say, the Malfoy family.
I always wanted to see a more in-depth depiction of the schoolyear, like classes and common rooms. Also, I hope they do an episode per season that is just a full-on Quidditch match.
Unlikely with bullshit 6 episode runtimes for a season these days.
@@jva4120 is it confirmed that there will be a 6 episode season? If so, I missed it
@@jva4120young Sheldon has over 20 episodes per season, maybe if we are lucky Harry Potter will as well
@@jva4120HBO standard for number of episodes is 8-10 per season, though.
@@SuperPrestogamer But Young Sheldon is of 20 minutes/episode and I think HP should be 50-60 mins/episode. So like ig a season would cover about 9-10 episodes, like stranger things.
I would love to see Cilian Murphy (from Peaky Blinders) play Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort
I hope they make sure this time that the actor they choose for the Chamber of Secrets plays 16 years old Tom in the Half-blood Prince too.
@@piotrnowak8725 bit hard to do when 16 year Olds don't look like 16 year Olds in more than a year or two
@@dylcart8881 Here are some ideas to make it possible:
1. Record all his scenes when shooting Chamber of Secrets
2. Use good characterization to change his appearance
3. Use CGI.
I believe it is vital to look the same in all the scenes when they're the same age to make the show more immersive. Same with Dumbledore leaving Harry at Privet Drive and Dumbledore talking to Snape about what happened in Godric's Hollow.
@@piotrnowak8725 watch them don't do that.
Bro by the time they film Half blood Prince, ai technology will be able render the whole thing in photo realistic graphics with a prompt.@@piotrnowak8725
I think this series should have been animated like Avatar the Last Airbender (original series). It would have allowed them to worry less about casting not to mention the cast aging wouldn't be a concern. If the cast got too old, they could recast. Recasting the characters between seasons could also be an option for live action but I don't see this being something a tv series would do. I really thing animation would have been the best option for the show for the reasons I already said and also because the character designs could easily be made book accurate, and it would allow for longer seasons. Either way, I really want to see a book accurate adaptation. I love the movies, but I know there are multiple deviations and so much that was left out.
I look forward to seeing what else comes out of Harry Potter, but I hope it's better than the Fantastic Beast movies.
I’m excited about this but the original actors can’t be replaced.
True
Hopefully they include Ginny more than the movies did!
In anticipation of the reboot, I am overwhelmed with excitement. It still has the potential to be a great thing, even if it lets me down. I'm hopeful that it will turn out well. I'm excited to see the characters, the storylines, and the music.
If it keeps it magical and not modern, yes.
Bella L
Seeing this after all these years is quite amazing. Will be making ALOT of tributes when these comes out haha
For sure, haha. It really does feel like the movies came out just yesterday, but it's been more than 20 years since the first one! 😱
It sounds like that they’re looking at a number of British show runners. Hope that the cast will all be British. 6:47
I'm excited about the possibilities!! But I'll miss Robbie Coltrane 😢
For sure. Some of those original actors were just so perfect for the roles. But I'll be interested to see how other actors portray the characters!
I think we will all miss Robbie Coltrane. But I think he'd be the first to say, new writers, new actors, new indepth look at the whole books.
And Alan Rickman!
Who won't miss the big gruffalo
I just hope they do spells right this time. For me the biggest let down of the fantastic beasts was all the combat being just swishy no pronunciation of spells. It didnt FEEL like the same harry potter world due to the vast difference in how spells were portrayed. Duels should be like chamber of secrets, bring the magic back without basic telekinetic laser fighting
I'm no expert but I'm fairly sure advanced wizards don't have to use the spell names. Even in the film, when Dumbledore fought Voldemorte they didn't do that. It's mostly the kids who do it and that makes sense. In fantastic beasts, obviously we're following adults as well. I can see the rationale behind not doing it but I also understand your point, the words add a sort of flair to it that differenciates the Potterverse from other magics.
@@gemelwalters2942you’re right they must have not read the books lol
All I hope for with this show is that it can be faithful to the books, but make it stand apart from the films with the production and costume design, and have a different Hogwarts as well.
I do hope we get a full blown Wizarding World TV Universe, akin to what Taylor Sheridan is doing with Yellowstone.
Yeah I saw another rumor that they were going to use a lot of the same sets and the same castle, as well as some of John Williams' music. But of course, nothing confirmed on that yet.
@@RetroRaconteur That would be problematic. That would just make people compare the show to the films even more. Of course, this is just a rumour, so.....
@@lukebaxter3252 honestly I think that's a bad idea they should use their own idea instead of using the same idea and I think is I'm scared for the child actors to play the characters because of on how the internet is those poor children are going to get threats
@@lukebaxter3252 on the other hand I feel like if they changed Hogwarts TOO much this could also be problematic. It might not even feel like Hogwarts. So I think it’s okay to use some of the same sets/castle locations, and hopefully making it more book accurate.
@@BamSandle I'm not suggesting they change too much, just enough that it can help make the show stand on its own. For example, it would be nice if there was a book accurate Entrance Hall, especially with the type of floor.
I’m so excited for this series, so many possibilities. 🦁🦅🦡🐍
There was so much left out of the movies. Hope they include those things this time:
- Harrys sarcasm, like it was in the books
- Ron as the most knowing of everything in the wizarding world, and street-smart
- Hermione with positive and negative character traits (not too perfect)
- Ginny was much better in the books
- more of the Dursleys (books 4+6 especially)
- life in Hogwarts (house-elves, kitchens, teachers staff rooms)
- Sirius and Lupin (and generally the Marauders)
- including missing characters (Charlie, Winky, Peeves - Ludo Bagman and Bertha Jorkins)
- more of Diagon Alley
- basically everything from book 4 (Rita Skeeter being an animagus + Hermiones SPEW + the maze + Harry giving his winnings to the twins)
- more quidditch
- more Luna Lovegood
- more Harry and Cho (that Valentines Date was hilarious)
- Bill+Fleur and Tonks+Remus
- Regulus Blacks story
- Percy and his redemption
- Azkaban(Sirius breaking out, Bellatrix)
- maybe they can add storylines from characters of the order of the phoenix (Tonks and Mad-Eye in the auror offices, Lupin with the werewolves, Hagrid and Olympe with the gigants)
Agreed 100%. Honestly, what's their fear by sanitizing all the characters in the movies? I hate how all of them sort of become caricatures rather than fleshed out imperfect, relatable people. Maybe they think we won't like them if they show negative traits, but I find that deeply insulting.
Nice write-up!
Like with Game of Thrones they should do two prequel spin-off TV Series on The Marauders and Hogwarts Legacy before the main Harry Potter storyline.
I never understood what the interest in a live action Hogwarts Legacy adaptation is. Is it the characters and story? They seem very bland and boring to me. The only thing I feel could be interesting is the time period itself. But then again, if I wanted an old timey Hogwarts I'd rather see a series about the Founders, granted, that's way further in the past.
Victorian Era Hogwarts does sound pretty cool though.
Game of Thrones prequels didn't come out before the main series. I see no reason why introduce these stories to the people who didn't and are not planning to read the books before the main series. It makes more sense to release The Marauders miniseries shortly after 3rd or 5th season.
I feel like I'm the only one who thinks Adam Driver wouldn't be a good Snape.
Same Barry Keoghan would be much better imo
I think he would be a great one
@@EjayT06 nah, I can't imagine him pulling off the slow, droney way of words that Snape has.
I think he could crush it, for sure. Part of me wants them to keep it an all British cast again though (and I say that even as an American).
He would, if they give American actors a chance this time. They may keep it an all British cast again though. Either way, I'm sure they'll pick someone good for the role.
As long as we don't get another cursed child situation.
You are SO GOOD at communicating information in a clear and concise way. So so happy you decided to devote your channel to the Wizarding World universe. You are a great representative of the fans.
That’s very kind of you to say, Logan! Glad you enjoy the content 😊
I'm really wondering how they expect to make it better than the original when the original was PERFECT !
I can't wait for this show! Especially if they are following the books. Thank you JK Rowling for this world!
Knowing J.K Rowling is involved makes me feel a tad bit better..
Yeah after seeing one piece live action and knowing the creator helped a lot it definitely made a difference compared to ATLA where creators left early on in the project....the best 2 ep of atla netflix adaptation is the 2 ep that they helped in.
Not sure, she messed up with the fantastic beasts
Just Hope they keep the British only casting
That background music in the beginning, brings back the nostalgia, holy crap.
I hate how Hollywood just reboots or retells the same stories. Why wouldn’t they tell a new story in the Harry Potter universe? It’s such a rich world for storytelling. They are truly missing out on a huge opportunity here.
They aren’t just retelling the same story lol the films left out so much from the books and they’re going to tell all of that. No TV show is a great idea actually and you’re in the minority to say it’s not. They already told new stories and 100%. Those movies were awful. I’d still like to hear new stories in the future, but this is not an example of Hollywood just retell the same story.
I really appreciate seeing people in this comment section already voicing the fact that there CANNOT be a single ounce of an agenda of IDENTITY POLITICS in this show at all for it to be even somewhat successful, worth-while or genuinely have integrity in regards to the books its based on.
Knowing that JK Rowling is involved it it, it probably won’t be woke.
I know I shouldn't be excited for this, but...I am. I'll always love the original cast no matter what - they're my childhood. 🧙♂️🧙♀️
How do they cast all the people needed? Like how do you even get found to be in the show
Would it be possible to have the original golden trio and a few other main characters appear on a cameo at certain times during the season with all of the originals at the end of the tenth season appearing
I just hope the cast the right descriptive characters.
I hope they keep woke ideology and DEI policies out of it. Just be faithful to the books and the show will be a huge hit.
As a Brit, I wouldn’t recommend using the Daily Mail for news.
Yeah, that's why I made sure to call it rumor and for people to know it's a tabloid, haha.
Totally agree with you
Let’s wait and see who they cast as Hermione before we get excited
There will be a black Hermione and Indian guy as Ron😊
@@vivek27789 I hope your trolling me 😂
@@TheGalacticProphet-lf8bn 😏
@@vivek27789f that it will ruin the story
This is going to be ground breaking
We are up for a treat :)
I cant wait for the new LEGO sets :)
This music is background music from the video games lol
RETRO HELP
Where did you find the video of the wb guys on stage talking about the show? I can't find them anywhere
So for a while it was on the official Max site. Looks like it's still up. I'll try to paste the link here: ir.wbd.com/news-and-events/events-and-presentations/event-details/2023/Warner-Bros-Discovery-To-Host-Streaming-Product-Press-Event-2023-8V2TbzlXK_/default.aspx
if that doesn't work, just google "Max Announcement Event Mugglenet" and in their post for it they have a link.
@@RetroRaconteur thanks so much I've been wanted to use it for a yt video.
@@Karshall- Nice! Glad I could help.
I pray that they do not ruin it like they did the rings of power. Stick to the books. Have one season per book. Don't add unnecessary real world problems to it. Go in depth a little more than the movies had time to and it should work out.
Show some more backstory of Voldemort.
As long as theres no diverse/woke crap in it, I am happy.
Same here
As star wars once said. This is where the fun begins.
I’m happy we’ll get to see more of the books but why tho🤣🤣❤️💚🐍🐍
Font know how I am going to feel about different sectors and actresses.
I'm excited for the TV Show as everyone is gong to say what about the movie, try and find another childern that fit the charactes along with adults that could fit the characters becuase you wouldn't be replace the greatest and late Alan Rickman as Snape
I hope that the Max television series shows more back story of how Dumbledore defeated Grindewald, a young Tom Riddle, the Marouders and Order of the Phoenix. Id like to see Nevilles Parents and how they also outsmarted the Dark Lord three times and their fight and torture at hands of Barty Crouch Jr & and Bellatrix. Id like to see young Peter turning to Voldenort and popular Sirius blamed for his best friend's murder. Id like more scenes with Harry & Dudley.
Let’s go!! 🎉
🎉🎉🎉
I have high hopes this will do well. I was disappointed with avatar the last airbender video game that came out also the netflix adaptation was average.
Meanwhile Hogwarts Legacy was a great game. I am hoping the TV show will be great because they did great so far...
I haven't watched the new Avatar yet. A lot of mixed impressions from what I've seen so far.
@@RetroRaconteur Animation is great, the CGI for places is great, Acting is okay but the direction changes from the original series were questionable.
Like some changes were really bad. Some stuff from s2 was mixed with s1. Imagine if they mixed parts of one book from harry potter with another book. Which doesn't seem bad...but imagine if the first movie of harry potter where harmonie gets attacked by the troll and Luna Lovegood goes in to save Harmonie.
It throws it off... because you have to change other things.
@@CSM_Kobeni Ahhh, gotcha.
Just take a TON of footage of your lead actors and you can AI the actor faces onto younger actors if they start to age out. :)
HBO should just make a CGI animation series. I think that it would be better than their current approach.
Hogwarts Legacy has shown that the green screen work will be epic. The improvements in CGI will show us dragons, spells, battle scenes, Hogwarts Castle. Done properly this could stupendous.
We just need more details from the books that were left out of the movies. Invest in the slice of life part of Harry Potter as well as action, drama etc… Also bring quidditch to life!! That was a huge part of the books and something tons of people want.
I also hope they Stick to the British and Irish only casting like what Jk did with the Films because Harry potter is British after all
Cool :)
Can someone PLEASE tell me what the video of the guy on stage is??
Sure, it's available on the WB press site. I'll try to link it below. It's a long link though so if it doesn't work, just google search "Mugglenet Harry Potter Reboot Announcement" and they have a link in their article.

@@RetroRaconteur thanks
@@jetflightneon8115 No problem 👍🏻
It's my childhood memories ❤❤❤❤
Anyone upset I urge you to think we will more than likely get a full episode on the quidditch World Cup!
Watch them push "THE MESSAGE" and destroy this great franchise just like they killed Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Star Trek, and Marvel.
4:30 There we go again.
I think Tom Felton should be brought back to portray Lucius Malfoy.
The cast will inevitably be less like the books than ever.
I don’t trust them until I see the cast
Completely agree, I wouldn't be surprised if Dumbledore is black. Why can't they make a new story instead 😭
@@perssontm1628 have you seen the robot chicken Harry Potter skit from over 15+ years ago ?
@@vengarlof7033 ??? Wtf are you talking about??
And yes Dumledore is black in the new cast. I thought we were going BOOK ACCURATE? It clearly says that Dumbldore was PALE.
let's hope it's not some pandering crap that doesn't hit with anyone.
I'm still heartbroken over what happened with the Fantastic Beast series. I got really invested in that story, only to see it destroyed and discarded by the studio.
Well, a faithful and detailed adaptation of the books sounds good. As long as they really make it their priority instead of attempting to appeal to as many people as possible. That was a particularly big problem with the last instalments.
Yeah, if you try to please everyone you end up pleasing no one.
Yea, fantastic beasts was just plagued with too many issues and drama. Hopefully they avoid casting big names and get unknown acting talent. This could be a big break for a lot of actors if it's done well.
It's not 'Poder' it's Potter, gosh, this better be in British English
I was rather hoping for the series to debut sooner rather than later such as i 2025 for instance.
I have no hope for it with modern days sjw activits politics
Yap yap yap
@@Karshall-not really, he’s not wrong..
@@EjayT06yeh
@@EjayT06 how though. Bad writing is the problem with modern TV, not female or gay characters.
@@Karshall- blame can be shared around. But at the end of the day, if the film makers focus is on making a politically correct film/tv show, and not on making a good film, then surely you can see the problem
Daniel Radcliffe as Peeves the poltergeist?
Marauders as a prequel movie trilogy, then this tv series and Finally a prologue set of movies with original now adult cast as movies after the series ends…. Money money money, as long as they can’t refrain from agendaizing it, and messing the whole thing up with a lousy casting…
If they F***k this up with race swapping, forced inclusivity, lazy writing and whatever the hell else has made most big budget movies/series of the past half decade so terrible, I'm not even going to finish this reboots trailer.
I'm more confident with JK Rowling being involved, so looking forward to it.
2:39 Oh no...
What did you expect? She wrote the books.
@@__-eo9nu Yeah... But she also canonized Cursed Child, Believe Hermione should be black, and may Dumbledore gay for his old friend turn enemy.
I knew she created the book... But look at Jaws. It movie was better than the actual book and the creator love it. Sometimes it is better to do the work without creator involvement.
I wonder how Hogwarts being blown up plays into this
Get Peter Dinklage to pay Professir Flitwick.
I just don't understand why they won't make a new story instead. I'd love to see Harry's kids go to hogwarts or any other story really. There is books for the details we didn't get in the movies.
I agree. Instead of going backwards to redo the whole series again, they could make a movie or series on the Marauders or Tom Riddle's past. To give more magic to the series. Why waste money on something that's already made? Yes the movies missed out alot but they were still amazing!! And the most important, the casting. I just wish they left what was made and just continue by adding more to the series. 😮💨

There are some decent movies.. why have a TV show..
HP is the best selling book series ever. It deserves much more than "decent" and definitely it can make a lot more money than it does now.
HBO made the very successful "Game of Thrones" and "The Last of Us" which are book and video game adaptations so they proved more than once they can do it right.
Well people say that it's adapting the movies but it isn't the best way to think about it is it's adapting the books the movies and the books are honestly very different from each other a lot of characters personalities were switched or lines a lot of things were cut that were in the books so I think them making a show instead of a movie would make sense if they want to show off a lot more that were in the books for example the other quidditch matches there was a lot more in the books than what the movies showed
2026 is pretty far, but I am very excited!
It should be fun seeing all the announcements leading up to it thought! Showrunners, casting rumors, set photos, etc.
@@RetroRaconteur yep :)
Michael Lesslie!!!!
What's your favorite thing he's worked on?
@@RetroRaconteur I didn’t know about him until songbirds and snakes which completely blew my mind!
Willem Dafoe as Lord Voldemort please.
😢😢 People dont want to see the same stuff agen. And the movies was very good and still holdes up. So no need for a reboot. But thay should exspend this amazing univers.
Or what i want the most. Is a voldemort orgin story where we follow voldy life from his perspective. Than wee can get to see mutch of what we love and old and new characthers. And thay could do some marauders episode where we look at stuff from thare perspectiv. And ofcource hagrid, dumbledoor etc. The series could end whan HP got his scar. 😀
Atleast i hope thay hire the supercharlinbrothers to help.........
Disapointing new content couldnt be made to the level of the original story and they had to settle for a reboot
Omg omg omg omg omg omg. Sectumsempra.
I’ll say this, hp is far from finished.
click bait: there was no new news.
Video is from February.
The Weasleys are forsure going to be black
Honestly I wish Americans would stop stealing things from England Harry Potter is ours let us keep it and also I swear if this show is American Harry potter I'll be so annoyed
But will it be a hot, steaming pile of woke garbage a’la disney?
I can’t believe Harry Potter tv show on max coming out in 2026. I hope it will be about Harry Potter the cursed child please because I want to see their kids stories just like Harry and his friends💚
It won't be, it's an adaptation to the bookseries, not the play.
Here comes WOKE Harry Potter. The new DEI Potter land. They will make every effort to destroy it as they did with Amazon's Rings of Power.
Get the old dvd's before they replace them with this woke trash everything they will 'reboot'they will fuck up mark my words.
Consider them marked.
I want to see a Hogwarts legacy show!
That would be amazing! There was a rumor about that a while back.
If you know and love the books the movies were just plain awful. Bring on the series
As long as they don’t race swap the characters and make dumbledore some gay black guy or some shit for the sake of “inclusion” I’ll give it a chance. I want them to stay true to the characters.
Dumbledore is already gay. Did you miss. That or intentionally being a troll. Also, who gives AF what race the actors are as long as they fit the role well
@@gemelwalters2942 If it goes against the books it actuall does matter lmao. If someone is described in the books as being white and they get a black actor to play the part, don't you think that goes against the entire premise of re doing this shit? Dumbledore being gay is one thing, but if they then make him black that would completely ruin the character and be fitted to just cater to the woke freaks. No thanks.
@@gemelwalters2942 they won’t “fit” the role if they aren’t accurate to what the characters are supposed to be. In order to fit the roles, the characters need to stay true to who they are.
If they make Harry some Mexican or black guy, and Ginny an asian chick etc, how tf would that be them fitting the role when their characters are completely different? Your comment is dumb asf. Race matters in terms of accuracy of the characters etc.
I’m sick and tired of them race swapping characters and turning them into shit they’re not all for the sake of “inclusion” they care more about being woke than accurate. Like who cares if we butcher the accuracy of the characters or make them completely different, as long as we have a gay guy, and a strong black woman that’s all that matters smh.
@@gemelwalters2942 also no dumbledore isn’t gay. He’s never with anyone at all throughout the entire books etc. He has no lover or interest in that stuff
@@hatchell18 it's a children's book, why would that be in it. His relationship seems very clear in the fantastic beasts films, of which JK Rowling is heavily involved. In the potter books we don't need it shoved in there because it's not about him. There's nothing wrong with Dumbledore being gay and we also don't need it being a focus of Harry's Story. Both can be true
I would love to be able to get excited about this but I have zero confidence that they won't wokify this to oblivion. If they do, I will not be watching.
First
The king…has returned 👑
Harry potter has no reboot, harry potter needs no reboot.
As a books reader, it indeed need.
You have my sword.
Hope there is no Woke politics in this series. Just keep true to the story and characters. Be more in depth than the films were able to do and close to the books, when possible, what worked in a book may not work in the series. Keep your personal agenda out of it. No gender or race swapping of main characters. You don't have to be the same race/gender to identify or have empathy with the main characters, follow the books. The films and books made billions for a reason. Unfortunately, some think they no better than the author, or have to prove their worth by making changes that are not in tone with the characters and story.
I really hope it's just more detailed
Get over it. If you can’t get past race or gender then just don’t watch it. I can careless as long the actors do a great job. “He’s going to sacrifice himself!” 😂
Please don’t Americanise it like fantastic beasts 🤮
Uhhh f this.. dont care if the books had more detail.. the movies are already perfect
Okay we need to get hbo max to scrap the reboot and make a marauders series. Or a voldemort series. Or a show or movie about the next generation. Or a show where each episode centered around a minor character like Regulus Black, Hagrid or Charlie Weasley and their stories. Or a show with completely original characters going to hogwarts, preferibly in different houses than Gryffindor (maybe a show or movie based around a game like Hogwarts Mystery or Hogwarts legacy?) Honestly anything new and original would do. I think I speak for all potterheads when I say we would all enjoy something like that much more (ESPECIALLY A MARAUDERS SERIES I MEAN COME ON WE NEED THAT), and HBO wouldn't have a problem with the show constantly getting compared to the books and movies because it would be a original story. So hbo max PLEASE don't be lazy and make an original story, because the wizarding world is huge and has so much more to offer than just Harry's story
