Cillian would be foolish to sign for a 10 + year run on a trash series.

Films didn't cover black snape in the house.
But seriously, they may end up covering more subplots from the books but will be tough to be more faithful if they make a bunch of character changes

He doesn’t show up until the end of season 4. Limited screen time in season 5. Would be much less work than Peaky Blinders and close to his home.

Don't bring facts to a SEK post, it's not worth your time.

If you're not this agent, maybe you should be.

You think this series will last 10 years?
Posted on 4/15/25 at 5:21 pm to MasterKnight
I'm told it's likely. 1+ years per book. Doubt they can pull off a full season on a tight schedule. We'll see.

I do not see this series as lasting to cover all the books. The biggest character to fill is Harry and they have to get that part right. Then basically make sure that kid does not take any other roles.
Maybe can get to 4 but I doubt it. Might not have the audience.

It’s funny, even the folks on the blackpeopletwitter sub are like wtf kind of decision is this?
Calling him wizard Clarence Thomas and being pissed that the diversity they get is to be the guy that’s inappropriately obsessed with the white girl.

I'll point out the hilarious reason this series supposedly even exists is that they said they could do a more faithful adaptation of each book over a longer season, they could cover things the films couldn't, etc.
What important did the films miss?
These are going to be seasons full of filler and made up bullshite.
The movie series was plenty.
They are going to ruin this property

It will be interesting to see a black Snape call Voldemort " My Lord" and the "Dark Lord"

The first 2 movies followed the books closely. In the first movie things that were omitted were Peeves and the other ghosts around Hogwarts. Neville standing up to Harry, Ron, and Hermione was shortened. Other than that it was pretty much the same as the book. The book was not a huge book as far as pages.
From the 4th book thru the 7th book, the films should have been 2 movies each as a lot was cut out. That is where the differences will be seen. I doubt they get 4 seasons as the audience may not be there.

A good chuck of PoA and almost half of Half Blood Prince... and completely changed the ending with the final battle. Just for starters.

Prove me wrong - Voldemort will be deferential towards Snape now, like he was with no other, because race politics is stronger than anything.

You made a comparison to a book series that half the people who watched GOT when it came out had no idea it was a book series. Look at how many reaction videos there were for The Red Wedding.
No one bitched about it bc no one knew. Practically everyone regardless if they read the books or not knows who Snape is. It is not even the same comparison.

Imagine how much this board would have hated Old Yeller when it came out
SJWs replacing the cur dog in the book with a yellow lab. Disgusting

To be fair I don't think the hatred is because Snape is black. A lot of folks just latch onto whatever is the newest thing they can be angry about.

He wasn’t a cur dog as in mutt, he was a specific breed, that resembles a lab.

Old Yeller in the novel is described as being a "yellow cur".[4][5] It has been claimed that the dog was actually modeled after the Yellow or Southern Black Mouth Cur or a Blue Lacy, the state dog of Texas.[6] In the Disney film adaptation Yeller was portrayed by a yellow Labrador Retriever/Mastiff mix.
