Well, i am a big fan of books and films, but i'd really like to See new adaption with much more content, which was cut in the films. With characters like Ron or Ginny not being robbed From their personalities and relationships presented in much more precise way.
I know this won't happen, but I heard WB wanted to make more projects in this universe aside from the reboot, so, I thought of a companion spin-off for each season in order to expand the universe in a more meaningful way. It's not perfect but I came up with: year 1, Nicolas Flamel and Beauxbatons; year 2, Founders; year 3, Marauders; year 4, Grindelwald and Durmstrang; year 5, House of Black and Ministry/Azkaban origins (emphasis on generations, geneology); year 6, Tom Riddle; year 7, Dumbledore's life story. I feel like this covers most of the locations/events mentioned in the books and each is relevant to their own season.
This is clearly a money grab, if the executives actually cared about the franchise we would get a founders story, the first magic war or anything that is not directly related to harry
If they stick to the books and don't add political views of the show writers it will be great. Doing a less abridged version of the books is a good plan if they stick to the books.
@ShadowSonic2 Yes, but the level of the commentary matters. The HP books have major conservative themes, but they're done in a way that a lot of people over look it. They're kept in the background and should be the same in the new shows.
@user-lq7nb1kt5y it's all there. Anti big government, the Ministry of Magic are usless and keep getting in the way of the smaller government, Hogwarts School. The books promote self-defense and the right to bare arms. They give the equivalent of guns to six graders and train them to use them. Also, everyone sixth grade and up are armed and prepared to defend themselves. Don't forget that the heroes are part of a militia group called the Order of the Phenix that ends up fighting the government when it becomes tyrannical, the reason for our 2nd Amendment. It's all there in the pages. I can go on but that's the high lights.
You say it like the movies aren’t littered with problems though. Like Order of the Phoenix left so many things out that the plot of the movie itself is very jarring. You named like three things yourself (from the books that were left out) that you would have liked to see… yet you don’t want them to make more? You can’t have your cake and eat it. Idk, this just screams “I’m nostalgic and unwilling to change” to me
I was hoping with this reboot we would get episodes focussing on different characters of whats happening. Like imagine we get an episode of Voldemort and Barty Crouch Jr. planning to kidnap Moody and be an imposter. I know it was a big reveal in the books, but what if we got the insider knowledge this time to give more meanings to these things.
If they just focus on capturing the core themes of the books then it should be fine. Adaptations can go so wrong when the writers and/or directors don't understand or don't care what made the original story resonate so much with audiences and try to make their own story with the characters. That happened with those Hobbit movies, the Rings of Power Amazon series, and that weird Halo show which completely ignored so much of what makes the story and characters good.
If the new Matrix movie is any indication of Warner Bros mentality with reboots, then I have little faith in this new project. But I hope they prove me wrong.
If they learn from marvels mistakes and accomplishments then they will do good. If it's done right and more book accurate then it will be Harry Potter for adults while the of movies will be for kids/ introduction to franchise. If they don't go woke or get greedy it could be beautiful.
@@WandsInWonderland The Fantastic Beast movies didn’t do well because it wasn’t Harry Potter. But I want something different like the founding of Hogwarts or a Ilvermorny movie.
@@Pistonrager So you idolize a dictator who killed millions of people in the real world, but a character in a fantasy series with a complicated past upsets you
@@bajorekjon No. I don't know what your crazed brain is trying to project, but it's just a picture. I do not idolize the man. And nothing in this conversation would give any indication of such a thing. And you really shouldn't defend Snape with lazy arguments like that while complaining about my pfp.
I heartily disagree with you. Ofc WB thinks they’ll make money that’s the point of business. As long as they don’t ruin the story and writing with agenda the way Disney did to Star Wars, then the show will be good and the fans will be happy to have more content.
These are the same people that made the new Matrix movie, which was an absolute shit show. They've already shown they put money and agendas over substance and creativity.

These are all great ideas.

All stories have political and social commentary. It's stupid to complain about that.
@ShadowSonic2 Yes, but the level of the commentary matters. The HP books have major conservative themes, but they're done in a way that a lot of people over look it. They're kept in the background and should be the same in the new shows.
I'd honestly prefer if they took liberties and made the source material better because it can be in many ways.@@markfields5214
Did we read the same books?

The movies couldn’t do what a show could do, and a lot of people dislike how far the movies were off from the books.

And also, the books themselves have problems too that could be fixed in adaptation.

Id like to have a show that gives way more attention to the books. There are so many great storylines or chracters that were left out in the movies.
I'm not excited tbh I feel like most things I'll be let down but like if I don't like it I just won't watch it so they might aswell go for it

great video you are right

I agree with you
You seem to forget J.K. Rowling is making all the decisions for the show.
That could be good or bad...she was also heavily involved in the Fantastic Beast movies and they didn't turn out as expected.
@@WandsInWonderland

Snapes perspective? No thanks. Id rather not watch a series about a neonazi incel.
You realize your profile picture is Joseph Stalin? Do you have any self awareness?
@@bajorekjon I am aware who my pfp is. What does that have to do with Harry Potter?
@@Pistonrager So you idolize a dictator who killed millions of people in the real world, but a character in a fantasy series with a complicated past upsets you

In my opinion, if they get the cast right, without any wokeness included, the hbo reboot series will be legendary.
Wdym?
Oh, you know its gonna be woke as shit 😂
Would you go ahead and define that buzzword of yours for me
IE, you're gonna flip out the second you see any nonwhites.
You want no "wokeness," in a series written by a TERF? With a gay school principal?
