The movies cut out a lot It will be interesting to see if the show follows the books more closely but the show might cut out the same amount as well. TV shows are often granted 8-10 episodes. Standard episode length is a little less than a half hour so a season can cover 4-5 hours of content. Double if they do hour length episodes. This will be more than enough for early books but it's possible some of the later books will still cut content. --- http://i.imgur.com/BBcZDLJ.png <cite>Tmaster148 posted [p:985236172] in Who else h...

dancing_cactuar 05/29/25 6:57:20 PM #27:	The problem is that the movies already exist and living up to some of the performances, be they major or minor, from people like Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman is outright impossible.

FolkenRawr 05/29/25 7:30:56 PM #42:	dancing_cactuar posted... The problem is that the movies already exist and living up to some of the performances, be they major or minor, from people like Alan Rickman and Gary Oldman is outright impossible. So you'll get something more accurate to the books, but with inevitably worse performances. Don't see why my mind should be blown at the notion that we will now have Peeves or Ludo Bagman if the performances overall are going to be worse. It really is crazy how much talent was in the movies. And it kind of sucks for the actors - even if whomever plays, for example, Professor McGonagall is incredible, she'll just be 'Not my McGonagall'. --- Cookin like a chef, I'm a 5 Star Michelin <cite>FolkenRawr posted [p:985237300] in Who else h...

The point I was making was just that 3 is when the books started getting dense enough for a TV show to actually have compelling material to use and it ramped up following that.
