I wanted to hate on this but this looks dope

voldemort not really in the philosophers stone, outside the back of quirrells head

was wondering how they were gonna stretch the book's 200 pages into a full season but yeah, it looks like we're going to have an hour of Dudley bullying Harry and his first signs of magic before the letter even arrives

I was hoping they'd actually make the scar a thing this time and make it prominent. Go full Scarface with it and deviate from the movie

F***ing hell that looks boring as s***

was half expecting to see @Ralph_Cifaretto show up on screen the way this was edited

Went into the trailer open minded and thought the sterile look was to emphasize Harry’s terrible life before the magic and Hogwarts

But then it just looked the same post-magic reveal

lmao

too similiar to the films. Releasing way too soon but the book fans will love it, and the later seasons where the films really start to leave s*** out will make this show seem more necessary i guess

Deathly hallows pt 2 was 15 years ago how long should they have waited

Yeh they used to also have mid season finales and come back in the spring

I’ll take once a year quality over that

Jesus.. 15 years ago? wtf I remember going to the midnight premiere in the cold

Used to hate when the walking dead did that.

until its relevance died. The films are still very popular and transcends generations, much like the original star wars. A film seperate from the original film story like a Marauders or a limited series about Voldemort would make more sense imo

Honestly what is the point? If the movies didn't exist then this would be incredible. This looks really well-made but it just feels like a weird dream you had about the movies where the cast isn't quite the same

One of the main examples I was thinking of lmao

smart of them to release this at Christmas time though

It looks watchable but crazy to me that Harry Potter becoming a series while Hunger Games still a theater experience

i work for a company that manufactures HP collectibles for the past 20 years, trust me its still one of the strongest IP’s out there for merchandise and just the film franchise itself

Not saying this will be bad, just more unnecessary and i think the later seasons will be more appreciated cos they leave out more

Legit, the movies are like the LotR trilogy where they absolutely haven't died in the public consciousness, those movies ARE Harry Potter

This should have been made at least a decade into the future

The hood ain’t feeling this

Warming the color palette at Hogwarts would have been a good thematic choice, but it’s the same dim, flat HDR image. This is so uninspiring.

Damn didn’t even think about how much better it would be as a tv show. Would rather they not do a remake tho and adapts other games like they been doing in the spin offs

Breaking news: season 2 script is being written by Stephen Colbert! We won.

those spinoffs lowkey look sort of good. how are they?
