Really wanna hear the Snape voice to see if they’re gonna go more Rickman or Riz Ahmed.

Lowkey feel they stuck the landing with this one

I like how it looks like we’re gonna get a closer look at harry’s life before he finds out he’s a wizard harry

Always felt that was an interesting avenue that was never really explored

@Misfit nvm @op real fr fr

wait i just watched this gonna be great

find it interesting that online conservatives and liberals hate this for very different reasons

This looks soulless. Looks like it could be an Ai generated trailer

Black snape is terrible
Everything else looks great

I mean sure it looks good, but is that on the show or because it’s adapting a major series and major film franchise we already know are good?

When it actually airs what’s going to be the pull? Like when Quirell appears are we actually going to be into it as the story is unraveling or just be impatient for XYZ to happen?

It’s different when it’s your first time seeing these characters brought to life but that’s not the case here. Everyone has. Like can there be suspense and anticipation week to week here?

I just like the contrast

lol nah I just don’t care about Harry Potter that much

Millions of kids that’s prob never seen the movies I reckon

S*** looks like an SNL skit

This is something I thought about before posting too, but like it’s not like when I was a teen turning to channel __ on cable to watch a new episode

Do kids tune in at 9pm on Sundays on HBO Max to watch HBO series? Like I actually don’t know the watch habits of kids these days. If you’re putting them on Harry Potter you wouldn’t just binge the movies first?

Hard to imagine the audience will even be driven by young ones here

I think that’s a bigger issue for the first couple books than it is Azkaban and after when the films started cutting material more obviously

Columbus was like the only guy to actually cover the entire books and also make the longest films because material was shorter. I guess they can add new material to fill the expanded time and provide more storylines to lure audiences but if they don’t nail that….

dark magic

mfers said "put THE PHILOSOPHER'S STONE on there"

Looks like s***

The show of life

What's even the point of this when the original movies are the literal benchmark for YA adaptations, not to mention how they're perfectly accessible and modern in sensibilities

This question is always funny because the answer will always be money and ratings lol . Studios like money and ratings so they will continue to make and remake things that they know will make a lot of money

Millions still love Potter, and they’re going to tune it to watch this, and WB will benefit from our desire for nostalgia

this could end up being very dangerous... if this is a hit other IPs are about to be resurrected quick. this looks so similar that I hope mfers wake up and say no to fast reboots like this.

The movies were for the kids who loved the books, this show is for adults who are nostalgic for the movies
