The 4th one can benefit from it since it hosts two other schools, therefore tons of side characters can get new/extra screentime.

1-3 prob should be skipped.

Just for fun, who are some actors that haven't been in the movies that you think would fit?


Before they got HBC, I though Joanna Lumley would have made a good Bellatrix.

I've been wanting this for years. I think the toughest part will be casting. So many bigger name British actors were already used in the movies, and some, like Hagrid and Snape, are hard to imagine as anyone but Robbie Coltrane and Alan Rickman, respectively.

Just for fun, who are some actors that haven't been in the movies that you think would fit? I could see Cate Blanchett as McGonagall. Benedict Cumberbatch could be a good Snape, but has the same problem Rickman had, in that he's way older than the character is supposed to be.

They should get Jared Harris as Dumbledore, IMO.
Radcliffe could play Snape lol, he's probably the right age now

I feel like for at least PS, we're going to get a lot of cuts to see what Quirrel and Voldemort are up to, with possibly some shit with Snape and Dumbledore arguing about the arrival of their sacrificial lamb <_<

Will the show be written by people who love and care for the books or mercenary activists that are going to inject their personal politics into it to try and "fix" what's "problematic"? I hate having to ask that but someone has to.

Sorry, but some actors are just too ingrained for me to imagine their characters being played by anyone else for this to work, Alan Rickman, Robbie Coletrane, Jason Isaacs, Helena Bonham Carter, and Maggie Smith in particular come to mind.

Honestly that's the perfect way to adapt the books tbh
LMAO that's hopeful thinking.

If they actually follow the source material that'd be great but I can see them cutting out parts, misrepresenting characters and in general...adapting it for MODERN AUDIENCES.

Oh and one season per book wouldn't work unless seasons are different lengths. First book is really short and last 3 are pretty long. In fact the final book or two would actually benefit from getting some length cut

why would it have to be a word for word retelling? scenes can be expanded upon or excluded as necessary. lesser explored characters/concepts can be fleshed out with new material. earlier books can be adjusted to be more cohesive with the narrative as a whole (i haven't seen the movies and i only read the first book as a kid, but weren't the books still being written when the movies were being made?)

tbh i've never really given a shit about harry potter, but this could be neat if done right

Would love to see the houses in their infancy. We barely got any Raven Claw representation, for example.

On the other hand, they could explore entirely new schools or one of those foreign ones that showed up for the big dance.

Hollywood already loves messing up every adaptation because everyone thinks they're take on the source material is best but then it ends up being crap. I'm told inner dialogue doesn't work well to turn into tv format but there's a lot of important stuff in the books that is conveyed this way.

But I also didn't say it had to be word for word I said the 7th book was entirely too long as the search for horcruxes took entirely way too long

I don't know how I feel about this. It could cheapen the movies.. and as someone else said.. Some of the actors really were amazing.

But 10 forty minute episodes could give us more detail the movies missed.
