It feels like a Star Wars-type situation.

There is no chance that this show measures up to the original series. Not because it can't be a well-done show, but because fans of OG potter have the nostalgia element and this romantic view of what they remember those movies to be. This has no chance to capture that.

A lot of book readers do not like the movies, hence this series

I love the books and I’m not crazy about the movies. I don’t think doing an authentic hbo series that is an authentic love letter to the books is really that difficult an undertaking on the surface. It doesn’t have to be reimagined in any way.

The tv series will likely be a hit. Far easier to cover various smaller storylines.

The race swap for Snape is still one of the most mind boggling things.

I’m even race swapping Dumbledore would have made more sense.

Everything else about this so far has been on point and top notch

Battle of Hogwarts was a travesty. I didn't like the movies that much.

Is that what this is supposed to be? If so I’m even more pessimistic.

The fact that they lied about JKs involvement tells you we’re in for a bait and switch. Rings of power 2.0, book it

Over a year ago, you’re late to the party, she’s been kicked to the curb.

I mean my prediction rate on this board is 99.9% but go ahead and believe what you want, I’ll just continue to be right

The "Book First" nerds will definitely have their panties in a bundle but that happens with 99.9% of book to film adaptations.

The worst part about Harry Potter is the fans, would love to check out Universal Orlando but being surrounded by them makes that an immediate no for me.

Over a year ago

It doesnt exactly inspire confidence about your claimed prediction rate that you think last June was over a year ago
