Malfoy looks pretty Gen Z here, is it going to take place in modern times?

Think people are just trying to find a way to make like other reboots when it’s simply not. It’s just the books adapted like the movies in a new format. Wizarding World faltered a bit so they retreated to what earned them billions.

Even if a kid watches S1 as their first exposure to HP (bad parents) and loves it, they’d very likely just watch the movies right after rather than waiting 10+ years to experience the stories in live action for the first time.

HP is still extremely popular with current kids globally and not a contained phenomenon. It’s not even like a new creative direction or like retelling for a new generation.

What’s Gen Z about this looks like Victorian baby

hate it for that reason

Excited to see him do well, but yeah…

Gonna be hard to not see other parallels once we get to Snape being bullied IN the show as well by his (presumably white) classmates and colleagues.

you guys think we’re gonna get a 6 7 reference in this

I mean they can tbh I’m not a parent so I don’t have a say in it per say but I know some parents who just don’t really be in they kids life like that to show em the old s*** that they grew up with

it takes place in the 90s

Right !!!!

Show isn’t for kids

It’s probably for my millennial buddies who went to the midnight releases for the books

I’d say for money

NEED the half blood prince

Was always so mad we never got the gaunt story

And I think it’s cool to make racists mad, hopefully he has fun with it and doesn’t let it get to his head

Also Hans cooked on that trailer score

Always best to not have or look at social media

Yep. Idk how they create a theme that can hold up to the John williams score though

I used to think the lack of color in the Yates films were bad

His haircut

Hogwarts always looks like that

“We stay magicmogging the muggles and unaliving the mudbloods.”

He will play the role well and see a lot of praise, he’s the exact kind of actor snape needs

Probably but I don't think that's a good trade in this case

Have no doubt he will play the role well but it will be forever tainted by the negative discourse, these HP fans are Barbs tier of crazy and hella racist

Order of the Phoenix is a horribly edited film that feels like a bunch of scenes spliced together. I'm surprised non-book readers can even follow what's going on

They would've made Dumbledore black if they were real. But nah, they chose the simp loser who chooses to be a d***head to a child for 6 years because he's still not over that child's dead mother
