Good. It would be dumb if she wasn’t an exec producer

Now they still need to hire a legitimate all star TV showrunner

And no dumb blockbuster movie guy that sucks at writing, and no lame like David Yates

A legit amazing writer/director

If they had David Yates back on this I would kms

So hype for this

Good. The last thing I need is the biggest franchise of my life being ruined just to meet some woke quota

Lmao

Only if you live on the internet you think this will fail lol

It’s gonna be one of Max’s biggest shows 🤣

Bruh, these are the best writers they could get to pitch for showrunner, wtf

I could see Michael Lesslie work tbh… but I’d rather see him take on a story about the Marauders

if they are smart, they will bring back Alfonso Cuaron as director/showrunner, for at least the first season or two

I think they'll mimic the movies and change tone year after year
Cuaron back for year 3 would be insane

I’d still very much prefer a show that takes place post-Deathly Hallows. Doesn’t have to involve Harry n the gang, but I’d like to see the ramifications of it all.

HORROR!

Now that first sentence you said would be dumb as hell if they did it

is it gonna be woke ?

A longer dive into the adolescent energy mixed with the bright magic of the first two movies would be incredible. I just want them to keep the look of Half Blood Prince and DH pt1

None of those things is real cinema

Give me Harry Potter HBO prestige TV real cinema or don’t f***ing make this

To be honest

How would you want them to tackle it?

I mean basically with a high level adult tone, like other HBO shows. No whimsical Christopher Columbus kid BS. No blockbuster Netflix poor writing, background ambiance BS.

Just really smart strong writing, direction that is done with care and craft, acting that is built on nuanced performances. What I’m describing could basically be comped to the first 5 seasons of GoT (minus the nudity and gore) if you want a comp.

If you don’t do it like that, then I don’t understand why you’d have it on HBO. And in general, I have no idea why you’d do it at all if it’s not a prestige TV version of this story.

It would just be the movie version but elongated. That would be absolutely pointless and the biggest missed opportunity of all time.

This is the greatest post that will be made about what this show should be

I’m still puzzled on why they’re doing this tbh cause I feel like an elongated version that matches the tone shifts in the movies will definitely be what we’re getting.

They should 1000% lean into the magical aspect like the first two movies did imo and just keep true to the books. Too much good story was cut out

Idk I wouldn’t mind them starting light and getting darker as they age. That’s what the tone of the books were
