So much was skipped out from the books, and a series could have added more lore than the books included.

Most book series are better off that way

one off books can be movie adaptations but the pacing is so much better when its a series and it can potentially be more faithful too. like that series of unfortunate events netflix series was a miracle after the convoluted mess of a movie

Absolutely. Like a high budget HBO series, one season per book. Since the movies have already been done, though, recasting would be hard without reusing actors.

I think Benedict Cumberbatch would make a good Snape. Maybe Tom Hiddleston as Sirius.

I like where you're going with this, Rdj as Harry, Chris Evans as Ron, Elizabeth Olson as hermione would be perfect

Except you know, the characters are 11 in the first book. Those would be horrible options.

I think you missed the joke.

Not a good joke, but an attempt was made.

I was just going with British/English actors, but to continue with the MCU theme, Martin Freeman could fit in somewhere. Maybe Quirrell, or Lupin?

Everytime Im reminded of Peeves Im more then a little peeved about him being cut.

But I absolutely agree. Harry Potter would have made a much better series then movie. But this is probably true for most book to movie adaptations.

To this day Im still amazed there hasnt been some kind of tv series. Like, get a good art style going and you could have a pretty cool/fun cartoon series going.

Just seems like there is/was a huge gold mine that has gone untapped.

I dont t think the tech was quite there for Peeves in the early movies. I rewatched Philosophers a while ago and Fluffy looks like straight dust. By the time his big moment came in the 5th book they just kind of squished him into Fred and George.

Peeves was hardly a huge miss. He barely did anything.

There's still a huge gap between Deathly Hallows and Cursed Child that's undefined.

Probably would have been if the movie series wasnt so successful before game of thrones blew up

I'm sure they'll reboot it as a show some time in the next decade or two. It would be stupid not to imo.
