Mega Thread Harry Potter TV Series Announced!

I on the other hand hope the keep some of the inaccuracies.

Can’t wait to see my wife lose her mind when they don’t show Sirius filling out the permission slip.

Is your missus one of those "this wasn't in the books" people?

The same as "they've left so much out."

She is. I love her but it’s a deep character flaw

I'll watch HP without her if that's okay.

Just finished reading the books for the first time in 10 years... served as a timely reminder how deep they are and how comprehensive the content could be.

The only thing is, the first three movies excellently covered the content of the books - as the early novels were simpler in structure.

It'll be everything from Goblet of Fire that could be fleshed out in much, much greater detail.

Surely, SURELY this is our chance to see Ian McKellan as Dumbledore.

He would be perfect but I would say there is no chance.

While Rowling is involved there will have to be some fairly tidy pay checks for the actors taking part in this to compensate for any potential reputational damage.

Why don't you think he'd do it?

From memory there was some conflict with another actor that prevented his involvement with the original films.

Frankly him screaming always made more sense to me.

 

[MrsEddieBetts]

And me, but it's not written that way in the BOOK

 

[por_please_ya]

"calmly" lol

Too similar a role to Gandalf. I very highly doubt he would want to play another old long white bearded wizard.

BOOK in all caps, reminds me so much of my wife.

I choose to take that as a compliment

I’m mildly turned on. It’s all working.

Tbh if they pull it off, your kids shouldn't be watching the bits based on the last half of the books. The adult themes but more so graphic violence described, along with the very vague 'Harry swore' bits, is well within HBO's wheelhouse, if they choose to adapt it faithfully.

Or they can watch, of course they can. What I am saying though it shouldn't be catered to kids front and centre like the films tried.

The books were made for kids- if the series is unsuited to children that's a breakdown in adjusting to your target audience.

Not a flaw.

Cool I guess as I’d never even heard of Harry Potter until the film series came out. I saw 2 of the movies and they seemed pretty well done so why the TV show, were the motion pictures not well received by fans or the author, or is it just time for another adaptation?

With her onboard as ExPro it’s guaranteed to please hardcore followers unlike that Lord of the Rings series that has absolutely polarized Tolkien fans and disgusted the Middle Earth aficionados.

There is a lot that the films left out or changed for no reason. The first 3 films are pretty good but from the 4th onwards the books just got too big for them to be fully adapted.

The movies sucked. So much. Nowhere near as good as the books.

Sorry, it happened when I copied the posts over

Personally, I don't think we need a reboot of this, but I'm sure the potheads will like it.
