- In April 2023, we learned that Warner Bros. Discovery is planning to remake the Harry Potter series into a television show. It's going to span 10 years and include 7 seasons, one for each book.

I hope they space out episodes so they are shown with the correct seasons like Halloween and Christmas
Oh that would be cool!!! It would be a mistake to drop a whole season at once, like some streaming series. Spacing it out and matching it up, when possible, would be smart and fun
That would actually be dope, dropping the Halloween and Christmas episodes on Halloween and Christmas. I like that.
@@Lupinemancer87or at least during the week of. A Halloween episode on October 26 hits better than it would in July.
Also, the first episode of each season has to drop on September 1. I know the stuff with the Dursleys happens throughout the summers, but everyone knows Hogwarts starts September 1, it’s only appropriate the shows start then, too. Unless it would conflict with holiday episodes, then they can drop slightly earlier, but the King’s Cross/Hogwarts Express episodes have to drop September 1.
HBO usually does it 1 week at a time, but not sure if they do holiday specials like network shows.
I have this hope they will cast Jared Harris as Dumbledore. He's a son of Richard Harris, who played the role in first two movies and he definitely has everything for the role. Just look at his role of professor Legasov in Chernobyl. He can pull the wise, calm, old man, who has incredible strength in him as well as painful, tragic past. He's 62, so mabye a little younger, but it doesn't matter since we're talking about TV show that is planned to run for 7 years at least and considering he will have to act out all the fights/duels/action scenes.
🤯 OMG I never put the connection that he’s Richard Harris’ son!!! You just blew my mind. I’ve seen him in tons of things he’s an amazing actor. Aww he’s now my number one choice.
Snape - Adam Driver, first choice by a mile.
Hagrid - Mark Addy
Madame Maxine - Gwendolyn Christie
James Potter - Dan Radcliffe
Ooh yeah she would be good as Madame Maxine
I think they need to cast a bit younger for James and Lily. They were only 21 when they were killed by Voldemort. Severus, Remus, Sirius and Peter should be cast in the early 30s range
For James.... I was thinking Richard Madden, although I'm not sure he'd sign for a role that small. As for Lupin, Black, and Wormtail, Tom Hiddleston for Lupin, Paul Dano for Wormtail, and Ben Barnes for Sirius Black.
time to finally get gandalf for dumbledore
The dude who played pennywise would be a good Voldemort
Ohhhh yeah Bill Skarsgard! He’d be good. He could totally pull off the Voldemort vibe.
@@TheRoomOfRequirementmight need a vocal coach though for the accent
Also, if he wasn't already a young Grindelwald, Jamie Campbell Bower would be perfect for both Tom Riddle and Voldemort. I mean after watch him as Vecna in Stranger Things, and seeing how he pulled off the part as a young adult, they can try the same and make him look youthful as Tom, but then horrifying as Voldemort when he becomes less human, due to the Horcruxes.
IMMEDIATELY when you said Kenneth Branagh for Dumbledore, I said YES.
if benedict plays voldemort, I'm gonna be a death eater!
Imagine they de-aged Tim for Tom Riddle too.
She didn’t even mention his cgi work for Smaug!!! He was fully suited up and familiar with sinister roles!!! I would take the mark too if he was cast 😊
It's going to be so tough to cast the roles mentioned all are great actors but I don't like butler after his 2004 phantom of the opera. The two roles where they have to cast right is Albus and Snape, it has to be perfect the two best adult characters .
Yes! Those are sooo important! Not only will it be tough to cast those roles, but also finding someone who will give up potential other projects for the next 9-10 years as they film.
I am so impressed with your choices!!! I have a few more actors that I could see as some characters but I don’t think I would be unhappy with the choices you made…. Bravo !! Well done !!
Thank you!!!
Dumbledore: Iain Glen
McGonagall: Emma Thompson
Snape: Adam Driver
Hagrid: Mark Addy
Quirrell: Joseph Quinn
Sirius: James McAvoy
Lupin: Andrew Garfield
Lucius: Tom Hiddleston
James: Freddie Highmore
Lily: Sophie Turner
Peter Petigrew: Paul Dano
Voldemort: Bill Skasgard
Bellatrix: Lena Headey
Moody: Rory McCan
Lockhart: Sam Claflin
Barty Crouch Jr: Iwan Rheon
Arthur W: Simon Pegg
Molly W: Catherine Tate
Vernon: James Corden
Petunia: Katherine Ryan
Umbridge: Jane Horrocks
Those are some good choices! Wish I would have thought of some of them before recording.
My personal favourites (not using the British only rule)
Albus Dumbledore - Jude Law
Minerva McGonagall - Emma Thompson
Severus Snape - Adam Driver
Vernon Dursley - James Corden
Petunia Dursley - Cate Blanchett
Lucius Malfoy - Tom Felton
Narcissa Malfoy - Alison Sudol
Voldemort - Jamie Campbell-Bower
Arthur Weasley - Rupert Grint
Molly Weasley - Catherine Tate
Remus Lupin - Matthew Lewis
Sirius Black - Dev Patel
Rubeus Hagrid - Brendan Gleeson
Horace Slughorn - Steven Fry
Bellatrix Lestrange - Margot Robbie
Dora Tonks - Kaya Scodelario
Rita Skeeter - Rosamund Pike
James Potter - Daniel Radcliffe
Lily Potter - Bonnie Wright
Barty Crouch Jr - Taylor Lautner
Barty Crouch - David Tennant
Dolores Umbridge - Rosie O’Donnell
Rufus Scrimgeour - Benedict Cumberbatch
Kingsley Shacklebolt - Idris Elba
John Major (muggle Prime Minister) - Dan Stevens
Cornelius Fudge - Colin Firth
Professor Trelawney - Emma Stone
Rowan Atkinson - Peeves
Ooohhh those are some good choices! And having Bonnie Wright as Lily would be so sweet.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement I just thought David Tennant would be perfect for Barty Crouch Sr since he’d already played Jr
Arthur Weasley--Rupert Grint.
I LOVE Natalie Dormer for Bellatrix! And I want Gary Oldman to do Dumbledore
Right?! She would play her so well.
What about Eva Green?
I think Peeves was cut out of the movies due to Chris Columbus hating the character's outfit
Awe that would be such a shame if it came down to a bad costume why we didn’t get Peeves.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement that was the last info I heard on it
I thought of Michelle Dockery as McGonagall. She worked with Maggie smith on Downton abbey so may have some ideas on how to capture that role
I’m one of those rare birds that’s never seen Downton Abbey, I’ll have to look her up.
@@TheRoomOfRequirementtry at least season 1
Great actress, but I believe McGonagall should at least be in her in her late 50s.
Great choice but I think she is young to play McGonagall.
So, I agree with most of your casting choices for different characters. However, I feel that Adam Driver would also be a great choice for Severus Snape. Driver played Kylo Ren in the most recent Star Wars trilogy and has the darkness, depth and versatility that I feel would be perfect for a character like Snape. Also, he appears to be near or around the right age to play Snape. Around his thirties or forties.
I totally agree that Adam Driver would be amazing in the role. His looks and acting ability would be great for Snape. Ever since they announced the show he’s name has been talked about, so I wanted to think a little out of the box for him in this video, but yeah I agree he would a top choice.
The thing is- Adam already said no so he is out of the equation. I will expect nothing less than perfection from whoever is going to play my favorite character in the books.
I doubt Emma Thompson would be ok to work with Kenneth Branagh. Bit of history there.
I always wondered if they became okay enough to work on a project together. I know Emma and Helena made “peace” with each other.
Jared Harris should be Albvs Dumbledore
Magical police are aurors, not auras.
Tomato, Tomato 🤷♀️ sorry I pronounce things differently or wrong sometimes. I get quite nervous recording so I may stumble on my words, forget to say a certain detail (like when I mentioned Toby Jones I forgot to say he was the voice of Dobby), and I might pronounce things differently. I’m only human, but yes it’s with an OR not A.
They just need Diego Luna as snape
Based on her performance in GOT, I could see Michelle Fairley being a fantastic McGonagall too! She's just a little older than McGonagall's canon age; has the right severe, prim and proper look; and she can portray a good mix of sternness and warmth.
Agreed! She could totally pull off McGonagall, plus it would be like a fan service or Easter egg having her come back. She had the small role of being Hermione’s mom in Deathly Hallows.
I’d like to see Colin Morgan from Merlin in some role in the Harry Potter Universe
I just want the adults to be more age accurate. Remember James and Lilly were like 21-22 when they were killed, so they would be 31-32 at the Philosophers stone start.
But being dead, they shouldn't age?
It should be an animated series.
Newts commander is perhaps the greatest hero The world needs
It’s a shame it’s been put on the back burner
The ages are all off. Hagrid actors too old, dumbledore actors too young
It’s pretty easy to age up actors for film, especially for Dumbledore, but Hagrid is suppose to be 63 when Harry starts at Hogwarts. Fry and Gleeson are only 5/6 years older than that. It’s weird saying Hagrids age… feels wrong, doesn’t seem right, but it is. He’s young at heart!
Find a 112 year old actor to play Dumbledore
Most of these picks are A or B listers who would collectively skyrocket the cast budget.
True, but I’m sure WB and HBO are going to throw buckets of money with this project. But yeah you can’t really stack all the money in casting, then the CGI would wouldn’t be as good, or it will take way more time to do.
He was also smaug in the hobbit movies
Emma Thompson - would be the one I am hoping for (or Kate Winslet or Helen Mirren)
Also... Jason Isaacs could make a great Dumbledore
But Kenneth Branagh would be great (although this would probably rule Emma Thompson out)
I am hoping for Matthew Lewis as Remus Lupin, I think he would be amazing!
as for Snape
I would LOVE daniel Radclik as Severus Snape (yeah not happening)
but I really love your choice of Harry Melling
Voldemort
What about Ralph Fiennes?
he is more to the age of Voldemort now.
Benedict Cumberbatch would also be great!
For Peeves - Simon Farnaby
Rowan Atkinson as Filch
I have a vague memory of an interview where Ralph Fiennes said he would play the role again, but I can’t remember if that was real or just a thought I had.
And I would LOVE Matthew Lewis in any role, but he would be a good Lupin
@@TheRoomOfRequirementFiennes did say he would love to come back as Voldemort in an interview.
I think the actor best suited to play Snape would be Adam Driver also Tom Hiddleston would work too
For severus snape the actor that played dumbledores nephew in the fantastic beast series will more that fit the role.
I really like your recasts here really I only have one I don't really agree with I think Cumberbatch is just too obvious one person I thought of before when playing the recast game with friends is Robert Carlyle from Once upon a time he can definitely pull it off and is comfortable being in a bunch of makeup I can't name someone who would make a better Filch off the top of my head.
Brian Blessed would make a good hagrid
He would be, but I’m not sure he’d join a project that long at his age.
@TheRoomOfRequirement true 👍 Maybe back when Harry Potter came out but Robbie Coltrane was irreplaceable. Very interesting to see who gets casted
What about Nick Frost, with a bit of CG to make him taller?
Benedict could also be a choice for snape.
definately stephen fry as hagrid, i love his narration
For YEARS Audible only had the Jim Dale version in the US. (Which I love and have listened to countless times) I was SOOOO excited when they finally released the Stephen Fry edition recently to US customers. I immediately got all 7 books and started listening.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement Wait; the US AUDIBLE now has the STEPHEN FRY VERSIONS!? :(
Nah, Fry feels more like Horace Slughorn to me.
@@osmanyousif7849 Ooh, you're right! :D
@joly6598
I jumped the moment I heard about it! They are also making a full cast version (with new voices) probably coming out in 2025 but they are casting it now. That will be a fun listen.
I just hope they stay true to the characters in the books and don't race-swap half the cast just for some stupid forced inclusivity, that has destroyed countless TV Shows already. Just look at Percy Jackson. That show was a disaster for a myriad of reasons, but the thing a lot of people were upset about was that most, if not all, of the cast did not even look like the characters they were portraying from the books.
The original Harry Potter movies at least had actors that had some of the traits of the book counterparts. They don't have to have all of them, but as close as possible. After the Percy Jackson disaster, I'm skeptical but I'm willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, for now.
Given that the books and the film are a tad whitewashed for a supposedly national British (& Irish) school I hope they at least make the nonwhite cast more visible and prominent.
Slighorn needs to look like the book describes him. Kinda like a frog.
Do you want us to crush on Lockhart?
😂
I wouldn’t hate Tom Huddleston for Snape. He’s a bit older but could still pull off mid-30s, and he can play dark characters. The only issue is that he’d likely fall into an Alan Rickman impression, which isn’t the point of the series (though could be a great homage to Rickman).
Great choice but I think Hiddleston has been trying to avoid typecast as antagonists. Honestly I think he'd be great for Lupin.
@@osmanyousif7849 I agree, he could be great as Lupin. I feel like he’d also make a great Sirius, but that turn feels a little too close to Loki (the whole bad guy turning/actually being good guy thing). But not going to lie, I’d love to see him as Snape just for the chance that we can get the Rickman impression. I miss Alan Rickman.
I hope they cast Danny Devito as Harry 🤞🤞🤞
😂
Why recast so many Harry Potter actors in new roles?!?!
Just for fun. Odds are there won’t be any recast in new roles. MAYBE one or two might be cast in a small role as an Easter Egg.
I think the best actor for Snape is without question Adam Driver.
I think Matvey Lykov looks like the perfect Snape and he is around the same age and has played antagonists before but unfortunately he isn’t British.
1. Kenneth Branagh as Dumbledore
2. Stephen Fry as Hagrid (And he already had the voice down!)
3. Benedict Cumberbatch as Voldy, but really...he would be much better as Snape. He has the depth to carry off the complexity of the Snape.
4. Emma Thompson as McGonagall
5. Harry Melling as Snape 9:57. Good grief, he looks like Snape right there!!!!
6. Matthew Lewis as Lupin (my own submission)
7. Sam Claflin as Sirius
8. James Buckley as Pettigrew
9. Umbridge....gonna out on a limb here, but after viewing the recent Dr Who.....Jinxx Monsoon (but maybe scale it back a bit). Both of your choices are much too pretty to play Umbridge.
Other than those......breaking the rule.....Rosie O'Donnell. She already looks like a toad and a pretty darned good actress. She can learn the accent.
10. Gerald Butler as Moody
11. No idea for Tonks, but both of your choices are a bit too pretty for the role.
12. Idris Elba as Kingsley....but I like Albert as well
13. Tom Hiddleston as Lockhart
14. Toby Jones as Slughorn
15. Rowan Atkinson as Peeves
16. Natalie Dormer as Bella
17. Tom Felton as Lucius
18. Emilia Clarke as Narcissa
19. O'Donohugh as Crouch Jr
20. Emily Blunt as Trelawney
21. David Bradley as Filch
22. Colin Firth as Fudge
23. Rebecca Mader as Skeeter
24. Katherine Parkinson as Molly
25. Gleason is an easy choice for Arthur
Matthew Lewis would be a great Lupin! I can’t believe he didn’t pop in my head right away.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement ❤
Emma Thompson would never agree to play McGonagall if Branagh is playing Dumbledore (and vice versa). She only agreed to play Trelawny if she never had to be on set with either him or Helena Bonham Carter.
If nobody knows, Thompson and Branagh were married and he had an affair with Carter and left her to be with Carter. So if your putting Branagh as Dumbledore there's no way Thompson would ever sign up to play McGonagall
Like with the Percy Jackson series, I don’t think they’ll hire any well-known names given the time commitment required for this show.
Possibly, but the original movies had some HUGE names in it. They might be some willing to do it, which would probably means they are fans of the story. Fingers crossed who ever they hire takes the roles seriously.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement this was many months ago but apparently Adam Driver was a favourite for Snape. Looks-wise, he’d definitely work.
I heard that! He’d be really good at the hidden emotions Snape has too. I didn’t put him in the video though since he was talked about before, I tried to pick ones a little different, but he would be really good as Snape.
That, and I'm sure they'll race-swap characters, and force inclusivity which would be a disaster for the Show.
@@Lupinemancer87 probability that Hermione will be black?
(based on an infamous discussion where J. K. Rowling said that Hermione can be black “if we want” or something).
If they do cast Karen Gillan as Bellatrix, then they should bring back David Tennant to play Barty Crouch Junior a second time ( it wouldn’t be the first time he played two iterations of the same character, after all), just so that all the Whovians in the audience can squee at Amy Pond sharing a scene with The 10th Doctor during the flashback to the two of them getting sent to Azkaban.
That wouldn't work though, as during their trial, Barty Crouch Jr was a young man. Almost a kid.
@@ericturner6286 Yeah, but they already aged him up a good 15 years in the original film, plus the audience is just supposed to ignore that he doesn’t look any older in the present day (although in all fairness, David Tennant didn’t look that much older in real life 14 years after filming GOF.)
All they’d have to do is cast an older actor to play Crouch Sr, which would work perfectly well given that there are cast members in the original films aged 60-70 who are playing characters aged over 100, and establish that Crouch Jr joined the death eaters later in life.
For reference, Alan Rickman was roughly the same age during the filming of GOF as David Tennant will likely be at the point that season 4 of the show will be filmed, and was several years older than that when he filmed the flashbacks in DH Part 2 which are meant to take place 17 years prior, and few people have an issue the the implication that Snape joined the death eaters much later in life than his book counterpart.
Just have him play Barty sr
@@ChrisWilson-bu5qm That’s actually an excellent idea.
With that in mind, here’s another idea, they could cast Ty Tennant as Crouch Jr so that a father and son were playing a father and son.
There’s precedent for real life relatives acting together in The Potterverse, with Tom Felton’s partner playing Draco’s wife in the epilogue, Ralph Fiennes’ nephew playing Voldemort’s younger self in the pensieve flashback, and of course James and Oliver Phelps playing the Weasley twins (contrary to their claim in an interview that they first met during the audition), plus it would be a neat little reference to Ty Tennant’s recent role in Good Omens, where his father was played by his grandfather.
Toby Jones was Dobby.
I know! I was so mad I forgot to say it in the video!
What about Patrick Stewart as Dumbledor
He’s a great actor, but I’m not sure he’d be up for a 10 year filming commitment at his age sadly
Assuming you really like the series ‘Once upon a time’ ?
lol I didn’t mean to do that, but apparently that show has a lot of British actors
Where did you hear that lupin became a werewolf by choice?? He was attacked as a child by fenrir greyback, who sought to attack young children & turn as many as possible.
😬 I think you misheard me say child as choice. I stumble on my words a lot, sorry about that. But yes he was bitten as a child by Fenrir as an act of revenge against his father Lyall Lupin.
@TheRoomOfRequirement I interpreted what you said as Lupin getting bitte to rebel against his own father, not as Fenrir attacking lupin to exact revenge against lupins dad. Thanks for clearing that up
You lost me when you called Gerard Butler Gerald 🤦🏻♀️
Oh no! I was so worried about doing a typo then reading it as such and turns out I did it. 😬
AnimaGus, hard G
Thanks for the tip
I think they should pick much younger actors than the characters but age them appropriately with makeup. If their character lasts ten years, they can "age up" to the character without looking odd.
I think it would be better if they went mostly for unknown actors. Most of these guys look too pretty and superficial.
That’s the beauty of the make up department. They can look anyway they need them too. But yeah unknown actors might be the way they go, no memories attached to other roles in different worlds
Simon Pegg should continue to be Phineas Nigellus Black considering he already voices the character for Hogwarts Legacy and it would be the brand synergy that WB loves.
Tom Ellis of Lucifer fame IMHO should be Lockhart. All the charm and an idiot thru and thru.
Aside? You have a LOT of OUAT actors. I am a Oncer as much as the next person but only one maybe two are at that level for HBO's tastes.
lol I was wondering if someone would notice all the characters from OUAT. I didn’t even mean to do that, they just popped into my head. It’s been years since I’ve seen the show too. Rose Reynolds’s is the only one that I’ve only seen in OUAT, the others I’ve seen in several movies or shows so even I didn’t notice until I was making a list of acting credits to mention 😂
I really dont want Toby Jones to play Slughorn i love slughorn and I don't mean it as anything against Toby but something about him brings up incredibly uncomfortable feeling from childhood and I don't want that to taint slughorn for me. almost everything I have seen him in he plays someone slimy and for that specifically I think he would make a better Peter but he is older.
Sean Bean is more fit for Mad eye but I hate to see him get another roll were he yet again is killed off. I know its become some kind of joke about his rolls always dying
OMG I feel so dumb, you said Filch was in 7 of the 8 films and my brain instantly went to fight you on that.... and then I realized he wasn't in DH p1 cause they never truly went to Hogwarts.
wait did I miss it or did you not even mention Rupert Grint for a roll, him and Tom Felton are 2 of the previous cast that are dying to go back to Hogwarts.
Toby Jones oddly does get a lot of those ‘I wanna hate you’ roles. But one role EVERYONE fell in love with was Dobby 💙 How I forgot to mention that he voiced Dobby in the video I just don’t know.
LOL Poor Sean Bean. He does get pretty unlucky with that.
😬 I didn’t put Rupert in the video. I thought he might be too far of a stretch for WB to pick him, even Tom Felton probably is, but I still put him in. I’m not sure who I would like to see him as either. I feel like Arthur would be an easy answer, but I’ll have to think on it.
@@TheRoomOfRequirement yeah Rupert is on record saying he will take any roll in HP world but he does have an Arthor quality to him which is very hilarious. Tom has also been stating he wants back into HP. I found a page of fan story rewrites and there was at least one Tom read over 2 or 3 videos. There is always a couple child actors that just feel like the first thing they were in long term they are begging to go back to what ever world it was. unlike some actors like Maggie Smith I've heard she hates being asked HP questions in interviews and with how amazing she was it kinda hurts my little HP heart to hear that.
Ooh I’m going to have to look up those videos of Tom Felton!
Don’t think too hard on Maggie Smith, she’s an acting legend who just wants to be remembered for more than HP. I’ve seen interviews where she was so excited about being apart of it all, she was even battling cancer and getting treatment during filming and still showed up to keep the magic alive.
I think it was an official news that old actors from the films wouldn't come back to the series tho
Ah never say never. HBO and WB won’t want to break the illusion of creating a new world with already seen faces, BUT it’s been done it before with other remakes and reboots so there is always that hopeful wishing feeling it could happen.
Which is good. Screw Rupert, Emma and Daniel. Disloyal little shits
1. Kenneth Brannagh..maybe
2. Brendan Gleeson
3. ?
4. Emma Thompson
5. Melling possibly
6. Either
7. First one
8. ?
9. Without heavy makeup both too good looking..even Imelda was.
10. ?
11. ?
12. Elba
13. ?
14.
Peeves - Atkinson
Bellatrix - ?
Lucius - Tom Felton
Narcissa ?
Barty Crouch Jr. - either
Trelawney - ?
Filch - Roth
Fudge - either
Skeeter - Mader
Molly - ?
Arthur - ?
Thompson would never agree to play a role alongside Branagh. They had a very nasty divorce and one of the stipulations she had during the original films was that she would never be on set or film with Bonham-Carter or Branagh. Branagh and Thompson went through a very nasty divorce after Branagh had and affair with Bonham-Carter and dated for a few years afterwards. The 3 of them absolutely hate each other.
@@SandraS1397 I know but I would still love to see her as McGonagall.
@@SandraS1397 I said maybe about Brannagh for the first one because I'm not sure I can see him in that role.
There's a theory that Filch s a poltergeist that is the opposite of Peeves.
I love SuperCarlinBrothers theory on that! One day I hope to grow this channel to the point where maybe I can collaborate a video with them. Maybe in a few years I’ll look at this comment and say I finally did it 😁
Hopefully they cast decent, loyal people who don't publicly join the mob against Queen Jo.
I think that Tom Felton should play Lucius Malfoy and Daniel Radcliff should be James Potter.
Sorry but It's easy to find 3 kids that are going to give again their childhood, their education for 10 years to make something that already exist? These kids are going to be judge constantly with the old cast. I don't think is healthy for any kid. This is something that you are doing 1 time when it's required kids and so many years. Make a new story if you what to see Harry Potter do an animation.
I’m planning out a video on OTHER shows HBO could do instead of the remake. For all we know it could still be an animation since they haven’t even picked a showrunner, but who knows.
Mad eye Moody is MUCH older than the actors you picked.
Pick an older British actor. 😉
Arthur Weasley is tall, thin, and balding.
Colin Furth seems more like Dumbledore to me. 😊
Snape...Adrien Brody or DJ Qualls are much more physically Professor Snape.
This may be a bit overrated , James MacAvoy would be great as Sirius.
Ooohhh I like that. He’s such an amazing actor!!
Would be cool! And funny that he was cased in a movie fancise that was supose to be as good as harry potter, but still ended up in Harry potter
@@scottcelius2416 tbf His Dark Materials was great, the franchise itself wasn't popular to begin with. Now James could also be a great Lupin as well.
@@lisawillson2885 thats true! Was more thinking of Narnia tho😅😅
Don’t race swap
They may play this card like with the cursed child, but time will tell.
PLEASE DONT BE WOKE.
That’s a big fear with remakes, they need to stay true to the story
Lupin didn't become a werewolf out of rebellion against his father
I know I phrased it odd 😬 Greyback was the rebellion not Lupin. Greyback was mad at Lyall Lupin and attacked Remus for it.
Karen Gillian as Lily Potter
I still firmly hope it’s an all British cast. Americans seem to have been problematic in this franchise (see fantastic beasts)
This list had good ideas - but actors from the original playing other prominent characters in the series is such a weird choice and jarring. Whether they’re amazing or not
Felton for Lucia's and Gleason for Arthur I think are the exception to that
Felton has already come out and said he'd love to be considered for Lucious. The Fandom would love to see this.
@@SandraS1397 is that the general consensus from the community? Or are you just stating that? I get it would be joyous to see an old Potter actor back in the reboot because it will play on the throwback and nostalgia strings but when it actually comes to it, I don't think any of you are really gonna be sold on Tom Felton who play Draco Malfoy years ago now coming back to play his own dad in a reboot in which the characters have similar characteristics and visuals anyway. Face it, it'll just be stick out reminder you're watching an actor. You're looking at Tom Felton the actor.
I'm really not trying to be that guy, but there are so many mispronounced names of characters and actors in this video. Please do your research before presenting, it's very distracting.
I’m not great at speeches. I get nervous and stumble and mispronounce things. If there’s a typo in my writing, I’m reading it ( Gerard not Gerald ) I’m very new at all of this and appreciate the honest feedback.
Ugh, Nooooooo. Absolutely not.
🤷♀️
what is the point of a tv series , cant they think of anything new , or perhaps they just want to milk the franchise even more BORING
There’s sooo many other Wizarding World stories they could do. If the show does well enough, maybe we will get other shows or movies.
This is dumb
🤷♀️ sorry you think so
@@TheRoomOfRequirement why mess with perfection.
True. It’s going to be very weird to see new people in these roles. My next video is going to be about alternative ideas for other shows they could have gone with besides a remake. There’s so many other stories to tell in the Wizarding World.
