Dude give it a chance

Kim_Seong-a posted...
Deathly Hallows Part 2 is over a decade old now. Philosopher's Stone is 20. Assuming this lasts 7 seasons, the movies will be almost 30 years old by the time this is finished.>_>
I'll definitely be giving it a chance, but still, I see no reason to remake things that were already received well. It's been 40 years since the OT. Should that be remade? Remaking LotR would be similarly unnecessary. Maybe in a few more decades.

Also, I just fear it will never make it past season 2. A 7 season show seems like a highly ambitious endeavor in 2023.

Harry Potter makes money. It's a pretty safe gamble to greenlit 7 seasons for Harry Potter.

the idea of a book a season is completely insane, it only makes sense if you ignore the fact that the book length of the season is not uniform

this will be very bad

This seems so fucking unnecessary after such a short amount of time
I mean... the last Harry Potter movie came out 12 years ago. It was also a movie, not a show, and shows can do a better job of adapting books because of run time.

Why not? Seems like a good idea to me. Harry Potter has proven that it's still a hot commodity thanks to the recent success of Hogwarts Legacy. A more faithful adaptation of the books with an HBO-sized budget seems like a fantastic idea.

Each subscription probably gives Rowling a tenth of a cent, so... yeah, sorry, it's all-or-nothing now.

Depends. Does watching Succession and The Last ot Us mean more to you than your solidarity with trans people?

I think it'll work fine. Different seasons can have different episode counts. The first couple books could probably flesh out stuff that happened off screen in the books, and the later books have plenty of material to cover a whole season each.

Holy shit on the like and dislike ratio though.
Not surprised myself. Even the folks who like Harry Potter don't really want a remake. It's too recent a franchise, with too well-made a series of movies.

One season per book wouldn't work unless seasons are different lengths. First book is really short and last 3 are pretty long. In fact the final book or two would actually benefit from getting some length cut

Some actors are just too ingrained for most people to imagine their characters being played by anyone else for this to work. Even aside the lead trio and Draco the likes of Alan Rickman, Robbie Coletrane, Jason Isaacs, Helena Bonham Carter, and Maggie Smith in particular come to mind.

Why do you care if he likes the show or not? Why do you care about him at all?

That's the question worth asking yourself. Does he really matter to you?

Those fans will be sitting at home with their popcorn and watching this show. Maybe theyll expect it to suck, to not live up to the movies, but I bet theyll secretly hope its good.

there's not really any way to do that without fundamentally changing the series. there's so much stuff in the books (and movies) that absolutely would not fly today

Only if you feel any boycott or vitriol towards a rich celebrity is "the closest we've come to book burning"

Weird take when state governments are literally banning books and shutting down libraries
