👀 announcement around Christmas would go crazy

They better get their socials ready

His Dark Materials was pure ass so I don't have high hopes for this

HBO has not announced when production will get underway, though it is widely expected to be next year. The network is exploring shooting two seasons back-to-back to avoid dramatic changes in the cast’s appearances between seasons as they transition from children to teenagers.

having to design the entire school again, each room and hallway and the outside and the design feel of it all is gonna be such a hard task. obviously has to be different from the movie one but they did 10/10 work on it so what tf do you do.

Also the music. How tf will they top Williams

In before Ron and Hermione get race swapped while Harry stays the same a la Percy Jackson

The music is so key.

Hedwig’s Theme is literally one of the most iconic pieces of film music of the last 20 years.

ngl I’d keep the same music but it wouldn’t make sense to reuse music from the films. the score is too elite tho

Feel like given that this should (and I would assume, likely will) be a more intimate approach to portraying the story, that Williams score wouldn’t even work, since an epic score built for the big screen

This is going to f***ing suck by the way

There are certain traits of both characters, Hermione especially, that can take on an entirely different context/meaning if they were to cast POC actors in those roles, and I think they’d be far too p**** to do that and risk the backlash.

Also Rowling’s bigot ass won’t let it happen.

As a black man please keep these kids white !

Imagine if they pop out wit a nigga potter

Imagine some white kid calling black Hermione a mudblood and then saying she’s inferior/impure.

You know… Rowling might be into that

Percy Jackson the demigods are called halfbloods
They still changed the girls race these ppl dgaf

Why would they be race swapped?

Come on lmao. False equivalence.

Diversity for diversity sake again specifically referencing what they did with Percy Jackson

There’s precedent for Hermione being black tho

It’s obviously not a real issue but I think it is unnecessary idk. Write explicitly black characters don’t just race swap and think it gives you brownies points

I would be semi surprised if the entire cast of this show stayed all white besides the handful of explicitly minority characters

We can’t act like Cursed Child just doesn’t exist, JK wrote it

Every character being chinese? I'm down.

Can’t imagine being so closed minded about something that you form an opinion of its quality before a script has even been written or any casting has been announced

Yup, I would bet a ton of money on Hermione being black in the series
