100%

Also Hagrid and McGonagall absolutely perfect casting. Umbridge too.

JK Rowling approved of an open casting?

damn that's late af

if they start shooting season 1 next year, the kids would have to be around 10-11 years old. by the time s1 premiers, they would be 12-13. they gotta start filming s2 soon after s1 to keep up with the kids aging.

yeah that's realistically gotta be the only way they can do this show tbh. they gotta have scripts ready for the first 3 seasons / books ready to shoot i feel like. so maybe that's why it's projected to come out even later than initially thought

cause you never know when these kids are gonna hit puberty and season 2 comes around and Ron is 6'0 while Harry and Hermione are both still 5'3

Or Hermione shoots up to 6’ while Harry and Ron are 5’3”.

Need the potion scene in this and I’m in

What’s the potion scene

This shows a mistake imo leave it to the movies. I’ll watch though. Can’t be rings of power bad.

It’s in book 1, it’s the last trial before they see Voldemort

It’s like some complicated potion puzzle with colors heromoine has to solve

There’s some potential here imo. The movies of course had to cut a lot of content from the books, so this is an opportunity to properly adapt the books with 10 hour seasons instead of 3 hour movies

But yea only time will tell how good this ends up being

There’s probably hundreds of things they can do now

This should be a series. Movies butchered it.

As a huge Drake fan I’m excited to watch this with my girl

She’s a huge Harry Potter nerd

please let him do this man

hell nah there are parts of the books which absolutely did not translate well with the movies. they could have something special here if they set out to differentiate it from the movies by trying to capitalize on what was left out.

harry was lowkey an a****** in the books when he wasn't being a hero. i think they whitewashed him in the movies, and removed his personality. this show could give us d***head harry.

also ron was a lot less of a b****. like he was brave and stood up for harry often, but they gave a lot of his qualities to hermione.

i don't know i'm here for this if they can do it right.

What I would love is the Slughorn potion scenes from Book 6 when they’re basically doing AP Potions

Probably unpopular but: I want a new Sirius.

Gary Oldman did a legendary acting job in the original series. However, my view is that his character of Sirius is very different from that of the book. The book Sirius was wayyy more gruff, reckless, and badass — Oldman’s portrayal was way more laid back and regal.

The Sirius in the book is described to have cussed all the time — not to say I need them to show him cussing in the show, I’m just saying I want a character that I could see doing that.

He’s way too old to be Sirius in the series he’s meant to be in his 30s lol

lol yeah I was about to say this.

Could be in for him playing a different character though. Loved him as Sirius

He definitely has a place in the universe again, but not as Sirius or Dumbledore.

I never read the books so idk but I just feel it’ll be hard to separate it from the movies. Definitely will watch though. In for sure if it’s good.

Don't make it woke please

like how

not to mention in book 6 we get the history of the marvalos and gaunts
