What we really need is an hour-long film of Arthur Weasley walking around through Muggle London trying to figure out how everything works.
I'm just picturing him acting like Mr. Bean as he awkwardly tries to fix something he accidentally broke.
That would be actually hilarious, i like it. As a supplement to the main tv series
Like a what if series lol. This is an awesome idea.
@@kevenCodes what? No, this isn't a what-if. The idea comes from Order of the Phoenix where Arthur can't figure out how to traverse Muggle London properly and it's a funny scene, so I thought it would he funny if there was a whole film of him being confused about it all.
I bet they could do little 5 minute skits at the beginning of every episode in the vein of Disney when they used to be on top of its game with those Pixar shorts before a movie started. Instead we got Arthur finding out what an iPhone is. Idk probably save the smart phone skit til the very end. That's genius tho! I would love to see it!
We need a Marauders Series or Voldemort Series instead
Fr, I already claimt the roll of lily evans
Yes!!!!! Wish we were getting a series of either one of those. Harry Potter's story has already been told. Happy New Year by the way.
@@taylornusteling8692happy new year 🎉🎉
Agreed!
Yes
I've always wanted this to be an animated series. The amount of problems fixed by making it animated is extreme. And the Harry Potter story would fit very well as an animated series.
Literally, good animation would fit so well with the magic, plus it would be separated more from the movies
it would have to be 2D though
an anime version would be awesome
Hell no! Not animated.
You know whats up! Ive been saying this for years!
It would allow them to keep the characters from growing up too fast so they can add everything without the time restraints.
I agree with the point of it being too soon but every time I watch the movies I still feel like I was robbed with everything they left out from the books
As long is it’s faithful to the story and they don’t ruin it I’m here for the show!
That’s why you read the books…
What people fail to undestand is that Harry Potter movies were made by some of the greates directors in the world. These people had their own vision, which is why the movies were a little bit different from the book. This is often the best way to adopt a book - change it a little bit so that the director would be able to show their own version of the story.
HP books have some problems in them and some things are better left out. Hermione being rediculed for starting a campaign for the house elves rights is just... Don't tell me you liked that part of the books. If someone chooses to remake Harry Potter 20 years later - fine. But not now.
I’m still upset how they did Ginny and especially Percy’s arc
@Mg88r2d2 completely agree with you. She was extremely awkward and had no chemistry with Harry. What a terrible portrayal of a beloved character. Percy was mostly left out. Lupin's relationship with Harry was almost nonexistent and his and Tonk's death were treated as an afterthought. Don't even get me started on how they handled Fred's death. But to me the biggest sin was how Michael Gambon portrayed Dumbledore 🤦
It won't be too soon! If the new series will happen they'll be out 2025-26 and the first movie adaptation was 2001, so plenty of time has passed between. And assuming it will be one season/year it'll be finished around 2030-31, that makes close to 20 years since the last of the films were out.
+ We deserve at least a reasonably faithful live-action adaptation of the books by now. I am sorry movie-fans but judging by the entirety of the 8 movies, in spite of a few memorable moments just weren't very good. Watchable at best.
I'd really like if they expanded the universe with characters who didn't get a lot of time to shine in the movies. As a fan of the MCU, I really enjoyed Agents Of SHIELD because we get a ton more character development from those who are sidelined for the Avengers, just like a lot of characters were sidelined for Harry, Ron & Hermoine.
Oooh yes I’m glad someone else said it- I want them to add in some more Ginny scenes- she didn’t have enough in any version of the story tbh. I not only want to see her with her book personality, but also have more moments and scenes then we’ve seen of her at any time so far.
Oh wow a fellow Agents of shield fan👋🏾👋🏾 very rarely do I find comrades on the internet
@@JusticeLong3317 The small but active fanbase.
@@nou1186 very much so
I love Agents of Shield but sadly it not cannon (The official MCU timeline book confirmed it)
A dream prequel for the Wizarding World would be the founding of Hogwarts, and the interpersonal drama between the various founders.
THIS! A Hogwarts Origins series would be great. Or literally any prequel. Dumbledore, Ilvermorny, a series about the 1st wizarding war. There are a million options other than rebooting the same story that we already know and love.
@@charriswells9661 They actually wrote a short prequel showcasing the founding of Ilvermorny and all it's interpersonal drama to promote the Fantastic Beasts series. It's a bit late, but they could adapt a prequel expanding on what is known of it.
Yesssss, agreed, we so need a prequel for the foumders
I want a tv series just so we can have a proper goblet of fire adaption. My favourite book was so butchered
Same for Order of the Phoenix...
Same for Book 6
@@fated_child9889 Agreed. The lack of Voldemort's origin pensieve flashbacks REALLY hurt the HBP movie.
Finally someone agrees with me. I felt it was the worst adapted one. So as The Half Blood Prince. I need to see the Quidditch World Cup Ireland vs Bulgaria. Make one episode about it.
to be fair tho. the GOF has so much important things to fit in and the movie would be 4 hours if made good
You're spot on saying this should be an animated series. It would be a lovely way to dive into doing a reboot and would actually be something to anticipate rather than be worried about.
No, an animated series would not work as many of the older fans like me don’t watch much animation and even worse Anime. It has to be live action.
@@cristinaapariciolinale2119well Harry Potter is not for adult fans, even the movies were meant for kids initially and they're not going anywhere dw. Animation isn't just for kids anyways, it's a form of art and story telling. And can deliver soulfull imagery with little resources and avoids so much of the trouble that comes with casting. With the way the books were written, Harry Potter should've been an animated series a long time ago
@@cristinaapariciolinale2119Plenty of older people are into anime, most peolle just happen to be indifferent.
@@cristinaapariciolinale2119shut up boomer
Personally for me even though the movies made some changes I don't care for, I still love each of the 8 movies, and I don’t think they could compete with some of the casting like, the Golden Trio, Luna Lovegood, Snape.
I'll still watch it, but I think it's too soon for a reboot, they should have waited probably 10 more years or something, or have given us a, Marauders show, a Voldmort one, or a show about the founders of Hogwarts, or even a show about the First Wizarding War
Wow...Marauders and Founders story would be awesome
Luna is played great, but her character is different from the books. She is supposed to be crazy. Like literally crazy, as medical therm. Not in the cute way "the only one who can really see how world is really works", but in inadequate way. This animal horn is not dangerous, it won't explode --- boom! Reader should not know if brain flies exists and should be uncertain about everything Luna said, but we clearly saw them flying around Harry's head when she find him in the train. That's wrong.
And so they missed very interesting theme of mental health in a magical world, all those parallels with Neville parents, Dumbledore, Dumbledore relatives and Voldemort.
I would change her character, that is missed opportunities.
The series is still a couple years away tho
100% agree, there are no replacement for the OG cast. When I think of Harry I will always think about Daniel Radcliffe, Ron - Rupert Grint, Hermione - Emma Watson and etc.. My only dream is that JK Rowling makes cursed child uncanon,desides to make a new plot involving the OG cast and continues the story.
@f3dzed these new cast members won't live up to the originals and they don't have to this will be a fresh new start just hope they do a marauders show during the show airing and stuff I don't think they'll use the original theme either maybe they will but try to change it a little like hogwarts legacy and change the font and some parts of the castle
My biggest concern is the casting, if they adapt it for "modern audiences" and the overuse of CGI. Making it animated is a pretty good idea!
When you say “adapting the cast for modern audiences,” do you mean changing the characters’ races?
And changing sexual orientations, gender identities etc for the sake of doing it. Like, here is a token brown man, here is a token black girl, here is a token trans character, here is a token non-binary character etc, for no other reason than filling a quota. That is actually more insulting than not including them at all.
Modern audiences -Critical Drinker
God forbid there's some diversity in a potter adaptation, cause that's the real problem lmao. Let's pretend the casting in the movies didn't result in wooden, lifeless performances by half the main characters.
@@stormborns4853 That's your interpretation. Not what I said but go with it if it makes you happy.
I feel like this could be an opportunity to open up the franchise further, if successful. Then we will have all kinds of Harry Potter content; The Marauders, Voldemort Origins, Hogwarts: The Founders…. Honestly, I could go on. I’m excited and staying positive about the upcoming series - hopefully they’ll capture the characters a bit better than the movies did
In my opinion, yes I want to see the Harry Potter Series as a Streaming/TV series because it allows the writers and directors to expand the world of Harry Potter that movies couldn't do. And the Streaming/TV allows the team to be more faithful to the book series. Especially the Half-Blood Prince Book!
Let’s be honest the book that the movies butchered was the Goblet of Fire. It was just distracting!
@@GryffindorScholar Dumbledore said calmly
@masterelight8172 Nah, the movies that were butchered were Goblet of Fire, Order of the Phoenix, and Half-Blood Prince. But Half-Blood Prince book is my all-time favorite book of the series.
@@movies798 i actually love ootp movie better than the book but gof and hbp movies SUCK
I agree. Too much was cut or portrayed incorrectly in the movies. In my opinion, the worst offender was the prisoner of Azkaban. The director gave us a very artsy picture with barely a story. He actually wanted to cut out more but J.K. Rowling told him "No More!" Also, give Ron his lines back! The fact that they gave his best stuff to Hermione to make her look better and him stupid makes me dislike her. And one of my biggest problems with the movies, the Ravenclaw colors are BRONZE and BLUE, House symbol is a GOLDEN EAGLE. That was the biggest disservice they could have to Ravenclaw fans. Its difficult to get merch with the correct colors and symbol. Hopefully this will be corrected.
The best thing though on a reboot is that as this is a TV series, not only can they cover all the information from the books, they can also add anything left out but was mentioned or covered by J.K. Rowling after. The whole story can be expanded beyond the books and movies.
Haters are going to hate, if they don't like it, no one is forcing them to watch.
I wish they would do a prequel of Lily’s story. We would then also get to learn more about Snape and James.
They are doing a Snape prequel series
@@Evoker23-lx8mbReally???
@@researchBuilding7 it was announced a few months ago
@@Evoker23-lx8mbwait what
How do you know that
Yes. So we can see the real Ron Weasley on the screen. And also so potentially new fans and old can have a chance to experience the original books in a different way.
I remember seeing Ron characterized well in Order of the Phoenix; Steve Kloves held those movies back.
@@allowableman2 That is true. Order of the Phoenix did a pretty good job. But the whole Weasley is Our King subplot was dropped and really wasn't explored until movie 6. That really displayed a lot of Ron's insecurities along with the fact that Harry and Hermione missed his triumph because Grawp needed help. It was a very powerful moment when Ron pressed down his disappointment, accepted it, and focused back on helping their friend. These moments need to be put placed back so people can see the whole complex character that is Ron.
you really expect them to not fuck over a reboot 💀
@@Godzillafan78 I have hope. Percy Jackson came out pretty good! And a lot more Ron fans have been speaking out now and we have become a pretty vocal part of the fan base, because more people are reading the books first before watching the movies. I have hope there will be quite a few Ron supporters on the TV team. So fingers crossed!
@@mistv901and Ginny supporters too, they did her so dirty in the movies.
I agree 100% that it should be animated! They could do so many things with the story that wouldn’t depend on post filming special effects. They also wouldn’t have to worry about the children growing faster than they can film the stories.
Agreed, I honestly thought that'd be the direction the studio would go. Avatar The Last Airbender was excellent as an animated show. If they are wanting a hit show without astronomical budgets it's the best choice. I'd be just as hyped if it was animated.
I'd be more hyped@@curtislindsey1736
I’ve said it a few times and I’ll say it again, ‘The Noble House of Black’ would be an incredible series. Not only would audiences see beloved characters such as sirius and the rest of the marauders, but they would also see great villains again such as narcissa, bellatrix, and even Voldemort too, but from a different perspective. It would also be fantastic to see characters such as Regulus and Andromeda, who weren’t involved with the original movies. We could see the upbringings of the 5 main blacks and how they were shaped into the characters that we know from the books and movies. It would also be a chance to see the story of the first wizarding war, not only from the perspective of the order of the Phoenix, but from the perspective of original death eaters as well.
Right I totally agree. There's so much untapped potential in a character-driven story about the younger Black children with the first war being the over-arching plot. It would be in a majority Slytherine perspective too which would be a new and unique experience. We would be able to get to know the Marauders through Sirius, and Ted and Andromeda would be the main romance slowly developing over the course of the show. Their relationship has the potential be something truly special given their backgrounds. It'd also be really great to explore the development of Sirius and Andromeda unlearning their prejudice and how that would contrast to Bellaxtrix and Regulus being radicalised.
I'm hoping this reboot is a success tbh because it would inevitably spawn other HP spinoffs like they did with Game of Thrones, and I hope they consider a series following this concept.
I want it so bad, ron was almost deleted from the films while his traits were passed to hermione. I want the golden trio to shine as they did in the original story.
I stopped watching the movies after the 4th came out, it took me a few years to catch up with the last 4 movies because of the above.
The tv show could be a lot worse tho
@@benluka1811 But it could also be a lot better.
Completely agree! He will get his time to shine!
@@toumabyakuyait has the potential to be a lot worse. The movies were probably some of the best book to movie adaptations
@@ahrhebbx2239 However, because they also left a lot out, this reboot also has the potential of being better by including everything the movies cut.
I honestly want a Voldy series or movies about other schools or a movie about the 4 founders of Hogwarts!... But i also do want a Harry Potter remake because I want to see the things i didn't see in the movies but i also know that they'll likely fuck it up so.....
Please it’s an HBO max show not a Disney plus show it’ll at the very least be watchable
Yes, someone has to write a story of Voldemort, from the beginning to the end. He is too much of an interesting villain to ignore.
@@davidjackson9680well, Max made Velma. That doesn’t give me much faith in them.
The Harry Potter movies have something special I have not seen in any other franchise or fandom, and that is that every film no matter the quality or how well adapted it was, it is someone's favorite.
I can ask any of my friends or people who like HP which one is their favourite and I will always hear mixed answers.... That's very rare to see specially for an 8 film saga.
So Warner has a huge task if they want to get to that level of success with the new series
I grew up with both the films and the books. I learned to read with the first book. This story is pretty dear to my heart. But the movies, while pretty good, had a lot of issues, mostly the later ones. Many characters were too old, the 6th movie was turned into basically a romantic comedy until the end, a lot of small stories missing, turning Ron into a dumb character, and giving a lot of Ginny and Ron's character development to Hermione, Voldemort's death, etc, etc. I am truly excited about the tv series. I hope they make a good job, and I think people should keep an open mind. The movies will always be there, they are not been delegated from existence, you can still enjoy them. And I bet there will be some cameos going on in the series over time for the fans.
I think if done the right way, a reboot could work. So many characters were totally different from their book counterparts. For example, Voldemort was a little goofy. That hug with Draco & other cringe things he did. The backstory was also handled poorly. When they changed Tom Riddle's line from "annoy" to "mean" it was a horrible decision. I remember the scene when Slughorn was talking to Tom, I got chills seeing how manipulative Tom was. Then seeing the horror on Slughorn's face when he realizes what he has done. Lastly, the final battle was really bad. It would've been epic to see Ginny, Hermione & Luna take on Bellatrix, instead Hermione & Ron were throwing rocks at Nagini. Also to see the three-way duel with Voldemort, McGonagall, Slughorn & Kingsley. I think a reboot can show how far off the mark the movies were. A lot of people who saw the movies did not read the books. I think as new generations read the books and watch the show. It might grow into something interesting. Even one of the golden trio was done dirty. It has been covered on the channel. Ron was loyal, kind & intelligent. He was jealous of Harry, but I think he regrets how he treated his best friend. Harry never asked for the fame, Ron understood that. The movies also shoved in a romantic plot line for Harry & Hermione. Some of the movie changes made no sense. I never realized how bad until you covered the books vs the movies. But only time will tell.
I always tell people that want a voldemort origin story that book 7 has most of it but they left it out, a tv show can have a whole dedicated episode to expand a character.
Don't forget the battle of the astronomy tower the movies just had Bellatrix. destroy a bunch of plates.
My thoughts exactly
Ugh, I hated Voldemort in the movies. He reminded me of a ballet teacher who thinks ballet is way more important than it is.
Honestly, a Mad-Eye Moody series would be great too, though that might have to be TV-MA, or at the very least push that rating
6:07 yea, even when i read the books, i just imagine their version of these charcters. The actors are way too iconic that even when you look at theyre unaccurate stuff like hermione being beautiful or ron not as tall or harry's eyes being blue and not green, you still look at them as the best versions
Same here
Best versions?? They were the ONLY versions. 😂😂😂
@@RabiyaRavenclaw I meant when the show will reveal the cast and stuff.
@@Hephaestus2009 we will see when they do that, and I wouldn't mind if the new golden trio are not physically accurate, they just have to be accurate personality wise. The Golden trio from the movies are NOT the Golden trio from the books.
Sometimes I mix and match the actors with the book versions. For example, I picture a taller Rupert Grint or Daniel Radcliffe with green eyes
We need a Animated version where the story is of books and characters looks similar to those in Movies.
Harry looks like Daniel Radcliff from movies but have green eyes according to story.
I would honestly really love if they made a harry potter sitcom, where they show how it would be to be a normal hogwarts student🫶
They should do something similar to Tales of The Jedi, in which every episode is about a different, well liked character. One episode could be about Snape, another could be McGonagall, Dumbledore etc. It would be a good way to show backstories of well liked character’s and not just do the same thing again
I absolutely agree it should be animated but honestly I’m still excited to see this series especially if they add more things from the book and FIX Goblet of Fire and the Half Blood Prince. I just see this show as a chance to have top tier visuals and a script closer to the books with maybe an opportunity to fix some plot holes and characters like Bartey Crouch Jr and Cedric Digory
I only recently realized just how many things that were left unexplained in the movies that I never questioned because I had read the books and knew what they were. Most people I talked to however always asked questions about things I had assumed were common knowledge. This reboot has the potential to change that.
On the other hand, the atmosphere and style the movies created were iconic and it will be very hard for the show to even come close to that. I hope they do something new without trying to just copy the films.
All I want is a feel good slice of life sitcom about being students at Hogwarts. Relationship drama, quidditch rivalries, house parties, the classic high school stuff
This would give us a taste of something different for sure! And having that more intimate feeling of a weekly show and catching up with my favourite characters whilst following a familiar plot to get excited about actually sits ok with me. As long as the originals will always be respected as the golden standard
Watch the Half-Blood Prince movie. lol
And the thing is for the original trio, their visage is still used in multiple formats. The Universal attractions, merchandise packaging, Lego sets, even knock-off shit, all use Dan, Rupert, and Emma’s likeness’s.
And I'm so disappointed with Daniel and Emma, I want better actors to portray my favorite characters.
100% they suck @@MicukoFelton A wall has more expression and charisma that Daniel playing Harry. The script didn't help either.
@@lunarisita26 Same!! I don't really know why so many people here are like they can't imagine the golden trio other than Dan, Emma and Rupert, and that they were the best versions , and that the casting was absolute perfection like bruh they were the only version 😂😂😂.
I am incredibly excited for the reboot series as long as it’s fully faithful to the books and includes the things like you say in the beginning of this video. I want to see everything I read in the books brought to the page and a series format allows that to happen so hopefully they do that. However I would have loved a marauders, hogwarts founders or Voldemort series. Hopefully they’ll do one or more of those following the series and maybe use the series to soft launch them
After reading the books, I would LOVE this series. As much as I love the movies, they left out so many plot lines and characters from the books. Whenever I watch the movies now, I just can’t help comparing them to the books and being disappointed that a lot was left out. I’m really hoping this reboot will follow the books more. Whether animated or not, I’m hopeful and excited 😊
I’m actually really, really happy and excited that they’re doing the HP books as a TV show. While I like the HP movies, there was way too much left out. Too many important moments that were skipped. Some things changed that I really wish hadn’t been. In my eyes, they’re not that great of a movie adaptation. I still enjoy them. I love the cast. But I’ve been hoping for over two decades for them to make a TV adaptation that can follow the books more faithfully.
Me too! ♥
Make it animated! Animation as a whole needs to be taken seriously and they wouldn't have to worry about the cast aging out of the roles. It would also help separate it from the 8 movies. (Nevermind, he brought this up.)
Heck, instead of a reboot, they could make a sequel series about The Golden Trio as adults. You can even use it to make The Cursed Child noncanon!
Exactly
Hope they listen to this guy
Fr make it animated, like imagine harry potter with some like blue eye Samuri art
YES TO ANIMATION!
It’s probably not going to be animated
Do you want a Heroes of Olympus tv show? Imo it would be the best tv show any of Rick Riordan’s books could offer.
I definitely agree that the cast and creators are going to have an uphill battle. It's crazy that so many people have been comparing the Percy Jackson series to the horribly adapted movies. I also was very excited that making a series would mean more time to focus on things from the books that tend to get skipped in a movie, but Percy still feels a little rushed through a lot of sections that you can really savor while reading the books.
I’m excited for this show regardless of the fact that it’s a retelling. Simply because I’m excited to see all the stuff the movies left out, brought to life. Like Peeves, Winky, Kreachers tale and all kinds of stuff they left out.
Yes. Harry Potter should have been a tv series in the first place.
Fully agree if this had been the case back in 2001 this would have been a blast and as an avid fan of the books I always preferred the book versions 'cause so many things were left out. The worst of all imo was Ginny Weasley in the movies had literally nothing to do with her book character. That was all because one of the producers was so addicted to shipping Harry and Hermione and someone who has never read the books might get the wrong opinion about the actual relationships. Don't get me wrong I always loved Hermione, but I hated the fact that the filmmakers diminishes Ginny's character
@@christinamayers3234let's not forget how they massacred everything about my best boi Ron.
Like they gave all of his good moments to Hermione or some other character.
Can't blame Rupert, he worked with what he was given, but sucks they did him and the character so dirty.
Also, it didn't help that they started doing the movies before the books were finished. I don't know how much Rowling was telling the screenwriters about her future plans.
@@christinamayers3234I totally agree with this. Ginny is my favourite character from the books but the films did her so dirty. It’s a real shame cause Bonnie Wright absolutely looked the part and I think would have done a brilliant job as a book accurate Ginny, but they made her something else entirely which is just so disappointing.
Therefore, as a Ginny fan I very much look forward to hopefully seeing her character done right this time, and I’m also hopeful that they’ll add in some extra scenes for her that weren’t in the books, as I feel there should be more moments for her than there were.
@@phoenixflame240exactly. Rupert and Bonnie were such great choices and could have easily done great jobs as book accurate versions of Ron and Ginny, but the filmmakers just made them both act so differently to the characters they were supposed to be.
It confuses me as to how Bonnie can state she loved playing Ginny when she wasn’t really playing Ginny when you think about it.
Yes. Reboots offer a fresh start with the benefit of hindsight. The Harry Potter movies had a ton of flaws, and a reboot offers not only a new chance with new directors, but new actors as well.
They are going to make Ron even more useless. I hate what they did to my boy. Literally gave hermione his lines. Shameful.
I 100% think they will do other spin-offs, they just want to make sure we’re invested first. I don’t want an animated version personally (at least not for this). If there ever is an animated version, I’ll watch, but I think one of the main points is to establish some new faces for the next generation of spin-offs!
Exactly!
Yes 100%. I believe max is gonna turn this into the next elite tv show. If it was disney I’d be more concerned
Great video! I agree with everything you said but especially the fact that it would be much better animated! Harry Potter is both my favorite book series and movie franchise and I know that there is no way that the new reboot will top the amazing golden trios casting.
People said this about joker, but look at Health Ledger. Daniel, Emma and Rupert were good but not perfect casting, infact personality wise the golden trio in the movies are completely different in the books. Ron is not a bummbling baboon, a goofy sidekick and a comedic relief in the books, Hermione is not a Greek Goddess, Who does nothing wrong, says nothing wrong and is perfect at everything, in the books. Harry is not a dull, boring, bland and indecisive protagonist in the books.
You do make a good point and I think that they need to give Ron back some of his parts instead of giving them to her ions. But I also still think the new movies will be able to replace the special originals.@@RabiyaRavenclaw
Like most things today, this feels like a cash grab. Exploiting millions of peoples fond memories and associations with Harry Potter, instead of trying some original, time relevant, new film projects. No movie or TV show adaptations will ever be "perfect", because books and movies are very different mediums of storytelling.
What concerns me most about remakes or adaptations lately is the possibility that they're going to not only shove Diversity and representation in there, but emphasise it over story telling. I'll be amazed if things like Hermione being Black/Mixed race, Luna being Trans and Crabbe and Goyle being gay aren't included.
At that point I stop watching.
The only one of those 3 things that I think is even SOMEWHAT likely is the Hermione race swap thing, seeing as they already did it for Cursed Child. The other two are most likely not to happen, as studios tend to be quite nervous about genuine LGBTQ representation, particularly if they are reinterpretations of the original story. (If they have it at all, they prefer to have it be random characters that you never learn the names of, so they can edit in out in the China version. It's sad but true) Also, no one will be trans, remember JK Rowling is still involved.
Race swaps can still be a little weird, but I highly doubt they will affect the storytelling
I usually don't care about these castings but they would only be putting the child actors in danger of severe bullying by doing this. Just look at how people reacted to The Little Mermaid casting. If they did the same thing, that poor child would be victim to so much harassment, much like kid Anakin.
I don't think skin colour was part of the description for most of the human characters, if I'm being honest. Lavender was portrayed by a person of colour in Chamber of Secrets, then by a caucasian girl in Half-Blood Prince and Deathly Hallows. I can't see Luna being trans or Crabbe and Goyle being homosexuals, even though gender and sexual identity were not a part of the character descriptions either. Which means there is room to add some representation for the LGBTQ+ community, but that doesn't mean characters who fit under that umbrella need to be forced into the story or already established characters need to undergo a change to their gender and sexual identities just for the sake of "diversity and representation".
JK Rowling is heavily involved, therefore I’m not too concerned. She will no doubt play a huge part in the casting like she did with the films.
As a fan i am intrigued and curious to see where they take it. I think if they do it right, without being too influenced by wokeness (sadly i think it will probably play a big part) and stay true to the canon this could be absolutely great though there's another thing... being such a long story spanning 7 years or so its going to be very challenging. I still hold hope that somehow they'll find some pocket change and make 1 last fantastic beast film where they properly end the story even if they don't go for the 2 films they had initially planned (4th and 5th i mean).
“Influenced by wokeness” like how?
@@intrusive-th0t with that he most definitely meant to not do any stupid changes to the looks/personalities of characters as they were originally represented in the books and movies (such as changing the races of characters, making them gay when the original series never did, etc). This has been seen recently in many other movies and as the original commenter said, it will most definitely play a big part in the series.
@@wasyeeeeeee why does changing skin color matter any more than changing eye color? Harry was supposed to have green eyes in the books but Daniel Radcliffe’s eyes are blue. If a random trait being a different color ruins the series for you then that sounds pretty dumb to me.
@@intrusive-th0t Yes you are right, Harry had green eyes in the books while Dan's eyes are blue. That's just one of the many "mistakes" the original HP movies had. The new movie's plan is specifically to **correct** these mistakes the original ones got wrong or didn't implement accurately to the movies.
and no, a different color of some actor would not ruin the movies for me, but instead in my opinion it's just unnecessary. I think there's nothing bad following the original looks of the characters as the books represented them as.
Everything you said… I totally agree!
It would be so much better if they made Harry Potter animated. The potential would be huge, especially if they stick to the books.
Fantasy just works best with animation, idk why Rowling is against it.
@@junjunjamore7735 she maybe can’t understand the greatness about animation.
littrly been subbed since you had 9k subs, insane to see how far your channel has come.
So excited for this TV show. 😊❤🎉
Although I love the movies, every time I watch, I just mourn the fact that so many things have been cut out (because the movies have only 2-3 hours time in which to tell the story). Lets be honest, it‘s going to be tough. Especially in the first 3 books, the films adapted nearly every detail. But after that, we need more characters, backstories…
And if this TV series is a success, we might get a prequel, like the Marauders and the first Wizarding War. 😊
Happy New Year 🎉
ROWLINGS MARGINS. That’s what I want to see from the series, that should be her involvement, stuff like the dean thomas storyline left to the margins cause the books would’ve been bloated, a show gives her the oppurtunity to flesh out aspects like this. Or a faithful Harry and ginny depiction. There is still a lot that the medium of a show can capture and relight the fire and love Harry Potter fans feel towards the lore.
No however I do like Hogwarts legacy. A series based on the first 4 years of the main character would be kinda cool.
As the main story centers about a player created character as an RPG. I don't like this, the same way I don't wanna a Skyrim prequel explaining the Dragonborn's backstory. As it's meant for you, the player itself to derive a backstory for your character, a succesful RPG gives you that option. They should focus instead on a continuation of their sixth and seventh year.
With new plot-lines regarding ancient magic, perhaps involving death itself and the creation of the deathly hallows as it was part of one of trials the keepers showed us. Then to also answer unfinished plot lines like Sebastian arc and the Triptych quest-line as it was never explained what happened with Isadora's portrait or why she can't appear. Also first year Dumbledore could play an important role in the student's seventh year, as he begins his first year according to the timeline.
Well, not focusing on the main character but rather the other students would be best during that time, most especially your friends.
I'd love to see more of Sebastian and Poppy.
@@InktheImpassive exactly
The amount of spinoffs they could do is unlimited! But I think a TV series would be great, 8 eps per book! 😃
Holy!!! I had not even considered an animated harry potter universe…. Would love to see it one day.
Hello! I first read the books when I was 21 years old. In one month I read the first 4 and then eagerly awaited each new book. Today, at 43 years old, I still love this story. It means a lot to me. I feel like the movies didn't reflect the beauty of the books. I could never enjoy the movies for that reason, and because they left out too many important things. Personally, I am very enthusiastic about the series, I trust that this time they will do it right. If I can see the final duel between Harry and Voldemort as described in the book, I will be happy. PS: the idea of animation is excellent!
I think a Harry Potter reboot is a good idea. I love Harry Potter, but there are some things in the books that wasn't in the movies. And i would love to see that in the new series. Can't we try to be positive and think that maybe it will be good. Not all filmmakers in the whole world are bad at making series. 🙂❤🔥
My biggest reason for wanting these shows is cause JK said she would not sign off on them doing them unless they included every plot from the books.
Yes it will give us the opportunity to explore characters that didn't get enough time to shine in the movies like Neville and Draco
The reason you think the Harry Potter movies are perfect and doesn't need a remake is because you are the generation that grew up watching them.
For someone who just finished reading books and watching movies, I thought the changes to the story and characters in the movie were terrible, and I felt that the three actors who played the Golden Trio were different from the books. I can't forgive Ron's treatment in the movie . I feel like there are many people who watch the movie and get a different impression of the characters than they did when they read the books, so I hope they do a remake soon. If you don't want to see it, just don't watch it. I don't think you need to deny the remake. More than anything, this remake is for the next generation who will grow up watching Harry Potter like you. If there were no changes to the story or race, as JK Rowling says, I am sure that it would be a masterpiece, even better than a movie, and would be loved just like movies.
I say no. Like you said, the films may not be perfect, but they did an excellent job of telling Harry's story and it would be pointless to tell it all again. I personally think a TV series should be about the Hogwarts Founders or maybe the events that led up to the International Satute of Wizarding Secrecy being signed
The success of a reboot has everything to do with the quality of the reboot and not its predecessors. If it’s fantastic then it’s fantastic.
As long as they don’t change the look and the core music pieces they’re halfway there.
Throw in a little good story and good acting and mwuah a master piece.
I love to hear your movie insights, great video and good point on the new stories rather than reboot idea. I personally would love to see some of other wizarding schools and characters from book 4 like Victor Crum or Fleur Delacour’s childhood or about the time when the Hogwarts founders created the school. I actually wouldn’t mind even if the did the books again but different scenes from the original movies, they left a ton out.
They should do it animated. Have an animated series that captures the animation styles of the books
I think they should leave it alone 😭
Agreed
But they won't,they just keep milking the cash cow that is Harry Potter
One of the biggest problems I have with the idea of a Harry Potter reboot series is that you can’t replace the original Harry Potter cast. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, Bonnie Wright, the Phelps twins, Alan Rickman, Richard Harris, Michael Gambon, and all of the other actors and actresses are so well known for playing the characters that nowadays it’s impossible to imagine new people taking on the roles. Even if this reboot does well, fans will always compare the new cast to the old cast because all of the original cast members are now very famous because of their incredible performances and involvement in the movies. And that’s not fair to the new cast because no one should like to be constantly compared to the person who did the same role they’re doing now.
There's no reason for any reboot. It's ridiculous. I can understand maybe 30 years from now or whatever. But now, when the original actors are still around? What an insult! And that's the whole point.
This whole thing seems like a desperation move. Unfortunately, most major movie studios aren't really in the storytelling business anymore, but the licensing business.
@@Yesica1993 cough cough Disney’s Moana
Not you putting Bonne Wright in there lol, harry potter fans have been shitting on movie Ginny since I can remember, now most of it wasn't bonne wright's fault, but she wasn't exactly talented or had chemistry with radcliffe either. I can assure you, not a lot of Harry Potter fans will be outraged by seeing another Ginny Weasley.
I am excited for the reboot, I really love the cast of the movies, but as a Harry Potter fan, I think that a full series should be more of a priority that comparing the old cast with the new one.
But still, who doesn't want a series on the Marauders, Voldys's past, the founders of Hogwats or even a quidditch world cup
I agree. An animated Harry Potter series is something I've wanted since the first movie came out. I could even then see how much was missing from the books and saw that it was impossible to get all that without doing it in an animated series. Too bad they don't follow that path now. I think if anything it would have been a success.
I just want to see a BETTER storyline that COMPLETELY comes out, WORD by WORD, from the pages of the books. NOTHING is left out.
Yes that’s what I want
Although it’s very unrealistic
Nice
I don’t need word 4 word, but I would like plots and details that were cut put back in (Goblet of Fire, Half Blood Prince).
Does anybody else think that they’re making one because of the Percy Jackson tv-show? Like they think that Percy Jackson will take over Harry Potter so they’re making another one to be more popular then Percy Jackson
Something tells me you might be biased.
Maybe. We need something to compete with that overrated woke mediocre crap and this will remind everyone what good writing actually is.
Harry Potter will not be overtaken for a while. People that watched them as kids are having kids and showing it to them. It will be at least a generation before we see a gap in Harry Potter fandom.
@@realfangplays No I love Harry Potter aswell as Percy Jackson I was just thinking they might be doing it because of that
@@bessieburnet9816 Well Percy Jackson has great writing in my opinion Pjo is better than Harry Potter and it’s also a good thing Pjo has more representation Harry Potter has so little, all of the important characters are white and there is not a single lgbt character in the book series whereas Pjo has plenty of representation. I’m a Harry Potter fan too but representation is a big reason why I think Percy Jackson is that bit better then Harry potter
Can’t wait to actually see the animated series in another 20 years
In my personal opinion, to build these other shows we need a fully BOOK accurate adaption to build from. As much as we love the movies I think building a spinoff series off the movies are not going to be as good as they can be if you do not build things off a book built world. Now I also do not love the animated Idea because I feel like it will be more of a childish feel for me. Not saying it would be bad but I feel like we need the live action BOOK ACCURATE Adaption to build the other series from.
I'm more upset they're doing the TV show when there are so many spin-offs that people actually want that could expand on the HP universe like imagine a Marauders show or a The 4 founders of Hogwarts show could have done
Sounds exaggerative, but I can't bare the thought of a trio of kids that DOESN'T consist of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint.
Bro, Harry Potter as an anime would go crazy
A Marauders film would be kind of boring. They’re a backstory element, you don’t need to tell backstory by its very nature. You could never meaningfully put a single one of them in mortal peril because we know for a fact they’ll survive. It’s the same reason the Han Solo film was low stakes throughout. And there’s just no revelation that can occur because we all know the story already. Lots of people have asked GRRM to depict Robert’s Rebellion (and who knows HBO might twist that one out of him) and he’s just like why? You know what happens?
If you like the fanfic stuff just stick with that. Making a film would please approximately nobody
everything of importance with that story is already covered in the Harry Potter books and films. It wouldn't show anything new, but it would have its hands tied by the original story.
I honestly don’t get this and never have.
Because I don’t even know what this series would even be about? It would boil down to being a slice of life school story about bullies.
We already know the most of their backstory. They weren’t involved in the war at all until after school. They don’t become Animagi until the 5th year. You could explore the school a bit but we already heavily covered that throughout Harry’s story.
And worse. If they deviate from the backstory you have a huge chance that they break established canon and annoy the fanbase.
I just don’t understand how this would even be interesting.
I reread the books and imagined what it would all look like in an animated show and it’s legit some of the most fun I’ve had reading these books. It’s a huge shame they’re not gonna do an animated show
I'm taking it as something completely seperate from the movies. Those will always have their place, and nothing can change that. I'm honestly kind of excited for the show, because I adore the books so much and the movies have never been the same thing for me.
Recasting Snape is almost disrespectful to the late Alan Rickman's memory. There will never be another actor who can portray Snape in the way Rickman did IMO
Alan Rickman didn't even play a book accurate Snape so even if you take the naïve stance that no actor can act as well as Alan Rickman did you can take solace that they are playing two different characters with the same name.
Bit of defend to James here
One do have to remember the wizard world was in a war. It was so bad that Hagrid himself even said that it was very dark times and that everybody was so scared that even after the war ended they still refuses to use the dark wizard's name. Wars changes people. James had to see allies and friends getting killed right in front of him.
You have to remember that he just became a father for a year and he find out that the dark wizard was going to go after his son. The man who let nobody lives when he decided to kill them. James had to be protective of his family. This wasn't about himself. He was willingly to hide in order to protect his wife and son. Then when he came, he tried his best to protect them.
You have to remember that he lost his parents young due to them being old when they had him. No doubt that he wishes that they were still around and that they could had met their grandson.
You have to remember that for all of his flaws he was still friends with both a werewolf and someone who comes from a pure-blood extremist family background. He didn't judges Remus and Sirius which is why both are so loyal to him even after his death.
James went through lot as a young adult and likely experience some kind of spiritual change as a result so how can one say that he didn't changes? Also, some people don't get to bury the hacket but while it would been nice to do so, does that really mean that you changes or not? Some people will never get along no matter what. Also, even if he did, would Snape even accepts it? Would Snape even admit his own wrong doing in the feud? You can't put all the blame on James because Snape played a role in this too. Also, Snape became a death eater during their young adulthood so why on earth would James want to say "I'm sorry" to him?
Marauders series would be much better. It would be fascinating to see the -backstories of the Marauders.
- other stories of the other older characters including lily, snape,Alice and frank longbottom, regulas black, Molly and Arthur weasley, 3 black sisters. Eventhough many of them weren't in the same year it would be nice to see them as side characters.
Not to mention we would get much more unrevealed secrets about hogwarts as ofc It's Marauders, 1 Wizarding war and the night of godric's hallow, longbottoms being tortured.
As it's a tv series it would be able to touch many background stories
everything of importance with that story is already covered in the Harry Potter books and films. It wouldn't show anything new, but it would have its hands tied by the original story.
I honestly don’t get this and never have. So hopefully someone can explain to me what the draw of this is?
Because I don’t even know what this series would even be about? It would boil down to being a slice of life school story about bullies.
We already know the most of their backstory. They weren’t involved in the war at all until after school. They don’t become Animagi until the 5th year. You could explore the school a bit but we already heavily covered that throughout Harry’s story.

I just don’t understand how this would even be interesting.
The whole point of a spin-off is creating a new but faithful story for a side story/character in the source material. It's covered in the books, But as a side story, it's just what Harry saw.We need it as a full story. How they discovered many secret pathways, marauders map, wizarding war in more details,also movies didn't cover them. We didn't get to see marauders in live action.
The Marauders themselves would be uneventful protagonists. They would make for better side characters as their school life would lack any real plot. If any series of characters should get a spinoff in that era, it should be House Black with the five children of the last generation as main characters, the over arching plot being the first wizarding war.
It'd be in a majority Slytherine perspective which would be a fresh experience, and the story would be character-driven with a focus on family dynamics, prejudice and class politics. We can follow the marauders through Sirius but they would be sidelined to side characters, as Sirius unlearning his prejudices would take precedence - same as Andromeda, when she falls in love with muggle-born Ted Tonks. It would contrast well with Bella and Regulus being radicalised.
The potential drama the Black family offer and their proximity to the dark side during the first war make for a much better story.
i read both of your comments and i still think there's not enough story there to do anything... however all this talk is pointless Rowling is no allowing anybody to touch anything related to the canon timeline...
I can see warner doing something with the founders in the future though. Is the only spin-off that makes sense. It's completely open to a new story and world-building, and it's barely connected to the main story, so the risk of damaging the canon is minimal and Rowling seems to not care that much about making new things if they're not related to the Harry Potte main timeline. If they handle it right, it could be a huge hit and attract different fans other than Potterheads.
How about a different spin-off series idea? Picture this: a series focusing on Frank Bryce, the Muggle killed by Voldemort in 'Goblet of Fire.' His story might not seem closely linked to the wizarding world, but it's intriguing. He fought in WW2, worked as the Riddle family's gardener, and ended up wrongly suspected of their mysterious deaths. Just before facing the hangman's noose, he's saved by a medical bill. Years later, Voldemort ends his life. (Here's the twist: Now we get the opportunity to witness the afterlife of JKR's POV) Then, a few months later, he witnesses a boy (Harry Potter) facing the one who killed him. The boy survives. And with skilled writing, this could be an amazing story. Anyone else intrigued by this idea?
The only hope is the fact it's HBO, that streaming service actually shows love to all the shows they sponsor.
I got goosebumps when you suggested it be animated! It would be brilliant!! I’m excited and optimistic about the new HP series, however I have the exact same concerns you’ve mentioned, especially about the new cast being torn apart. Animation would solve so many issues!!
i don't think we necessarily *need* a reboot of harry potter. but if we got one if could adapt everything from the books and not have to leave anything out. goblet of fire and half blood prince would benefit a lot from that. really what i want to see is expanded series. give us stuff on the founders of hogwarts, show us the marauders doing cool stuff. there's plenty more to show outside of the books.
this is exactly what I'm hoping people will open up their minds too. There are just so many plot lines, especially from books 4 ,5, and 6 that I feel a lot of people, who never got to read the books, will find enjoyable.
I think the reboot would benefit more for those who didn't really read the books
and the new storyline suggestions people are throwing out would benefit more for those who already read the books or know the books by heart.
@@fated_child9889 I think SPEW, the love story of Lupin and Tonks, as well as Bill and Fleur would be awesome to see. Give us more of Percy and his family fallout. Especially because of how the Fred death occurs. It means so much more in the book because Percy and Fred had it the worst in terms of who was the most vocal about disliking percy.
The one thing that gives me a bit of hope is Rowling's level of control, which could hopefully mean pursuing artistic incentives instead of just or even mainly financial ones. I really wanted an animated series for awhile, not rebooting the movies so much as readapting the books. Drawing contrasts and going a different direction would be important across the board. That includes animated vs live action, but also having more Scottish, Welsh and Irish voice actors(maybe an Aussie or South African too?), having a couple more characters of minority background(South Asian Oliver Wood?), showing a different side of how characters are presented(like giving Ron his due and bringing Hermione back down to earth, or Snape as not always in control of himself), having Quidditch-centered episodes that are told as sports dramas, giving a different tone(a brighter PoA and darker HBP), adding a bit to the early books, and highlighting the Christian storytelling side of the whole thing, which probably was right not to include in the movies but shouldn't be ignored.
It's a shame how much oxygen has been sucked up by unnecessary reboots and sequels in Hollywood generally. It's the same story just at a higher level of technology. Harry Potter could be a different story, let the movies be the movies and try something new.
I hope you mean darker tone for HBP and not darker hue. I couldn’t see anything as it was! Lol
Oh Damn. I was thinking animated would be so good for so long. Super easy to also then use a narrator. Also I agree with like so much else you say, I really enjoy your content. Good job and happy new years.
That is so accurate! The idea of making it as an animation is amazing! But let’s wait and see how it will go. Thanks for your contents! Always smart and insightful thoughts.
Yes! I've wanted a reboot since the third movie. The cast, settings, and music were all great, but the movies themselves were only ever ok at best. I want to see the story I love, in live action, and faithful to the books. I can't wait for the new show 🙂 After that, or during, they can also do the spinoffs we want. If this show fails because the movie fans don't give it a chance, I'll never forgive them. Lol
I really want to see the reboot, I think it could be very good. I hope people aren’t going to hate on it very much. I hope they stay close to the original books though. And that they can make extra series about the characters, like the marauders, but with new actors.
The problem here is that I'm scared that it might fall to Harry Potter fatigue, this is because not that long ago, the Fantastic Beasts series was released and J.K Rowling was heavily involved in it, yet it wasn't good.
Also, its really suspicious that HBO announced this show after Disney announced they were doing a Percy Jackson reboot, so there could be the possibility that HBO directors are just trying to compete with Disney and are just using brand nostalgia to win viewers instead of how Disney is doing by adopting a book series that never got the adaptation as the Harry Potter books. And because of that, people will just assume that the Harry Potter series is just a cash grab that is meant to compete with Percy Jackson
I think I speak for myself probably but I do want to see what they do with this series. It is a perfect opportunity to write the wrongs of the movies like Charlie, Ron, Quidditch, among other cut content and characters and the changes that didn’t work or that fans hated. I want to see what they do with the show.
But I’m worried as well that the movies is going to overshadow the entire show, creative team and cast. I just hope that the team that will be behind the show can adapt the show perfectly but I do agree that they could have built off the movies with spin-offs rather than just rebooting again.
But I want to see the direction where they go with this but this will be a daunting and suicidal task for sure
I’m excited only because I hate how they showed Ginny in the movies so if they make Ginny actually how she was in the books then I’ll be happy
It'd also be really cool if we get to see more of Ginny than we saw in the books, really show who Ginny was when she wasn't around Harry before she got over her crush on him just to show that she really was always awesome.
You overrate those movies too much, as a whole they were good but not great, sure they had some very high highs but also some really low lows like Goblet of Fire and Half Blood Prince.
A series about Mad-Eye, Tonks and other aurors in some sort of detective-CSI-police action comedy drama would be AMAZING.
This video is saying exactly what I’m thinking! I think they should do a story for Dumbledore! Like a childhood Dumbledore series I would really like to see the talented wizard and quidditch star we heard about!
i'm excited to see scenes that the movies left out but i'm still nervous about the casting.
Why dont they just make spinoffs of the backstorys they left out
@@benluka1811 Because some of the things they left out wouldn't be long enough for a full series or a movie.
@@toumabyakuya yeah but ITS Just gonna BE the Same Thing over again
@@benluka1811 But now, instead of reading them, you can watch them.
Besides, not everybody likes to read, so this would be a good way for anybody that didn't read the books to catch up to those of us that did.
I'm reading the novels. Although I want to see every scene in the books to action...a reboot will not work.
I was just thinking about this. Interesting to see a video explaining the problem right away. Thanks 😊
I have really appreciated your commentary on the Percy Jackson series so far. I think it’s very important to distinguish between this series and old movies. I think you have a very good opinion about differentiating between a good movie, and Simon is accurate to the book and source material, that’s what’s important to this new series. Thank you for trying to defend the new actors and the new material because it’s really refreshing to see it in a new way.
Yes, the books deserve a better adaptation. I love the movies and grew up with them, but I don’t think nostalgia is a good enough reason to not make a better adaptation. I know I’m gonna Annie some people with this, but I must say I’m a bit annoyed with some parts of the fandom. I mean, people have complained over the amount of book material missing from the movies, and when it’s finally announced that they’re gonna make a more accurate adaption of the books, then suddenly a lot of fans is not happy about it. An accurate adaption of the books is more important than any other story. Sure we might not feel nostalgic with the new series since we didn’t grow up with it, but I think it would be amazing for a younger generation to grow up with the series
I won't ever say no to an opportunity for a more accurate book to screen adaptation. Besides, now that Rick Riordan's woke mediocrity is making it's rounds on Disney, we need something to compete with it and remind people what actual good writing is.
Yes, i definitely think so. The movies didn't give the book much justice
Do we need it? No. Are there other options I want more? Yes. Do I want it anyway? 100%
I'm on board with making it animated! They should use motion capture for it! To make it different like you said!
