EXCITING NEWS for ALL Harry Potter Fans! (JK Rowling Breaks Silence)

[@46pippi]

After everything that’s been done the last decade it’s hard to have faith in anything coming out these days. I’ll wait to see a trailer or something to get a vibe. These is plenty that could be improved form the og, but they were still so good growing up. I would love to see a lot of the stuff left out from the books in the remake

[@Pardogad]

​​@FantasyLegend-j3kteacher actors where the top, I do agree. But Harry potter becomes popular culture, someday they would have to remake it, thankfully this time will be with the creator involved herself, then we must not fear.

[@konigtonig]

It will most likely be Trash like the Witcher Series,....

[@slytheringingerwitch]

If they go into the detail that was missed from the films, such as including Peeves (RIP Rik Mayall), chasing gnomes out of the garden and everything else that was missing from the movies. Including that Harry was moved into Dudley's second bedroom and also for them to get the casting for James, Lily, Frank & Alice better, as in so they look like twenty-somethings not forty-year-olds in their images. Do not make this woke, keep it in the time is was written in and don't race swap characters, as remember this is a reflection of the UK city style school and not the US. Basically, hire me and I will help...

[@Sileste17]

I have to say I love the books and I love the movies, but they're not perfect, so there is still a place to tell the story more detailed. I'm a little nervous if they'll do the TV series well, but I'm excited for it :) I hope they don't disappoint us.

It would certainly be a tall order trying to step up to JW!

[@Pepperrelish]

Why not just use Williams' musical themes?

[@Zac_Frost]

Yeah. The music is a whole character in the films.

[@christopherpoet458]

John Williams did a great job and that will never be replaced. However, there are other equally talented artists with successful musical records. My first choice, if not the return of Johan Williams, would be Howard Shore. If Howard is not on the table, I would love to see Two Steps From Hell get an opportunity to do some amazing work here. For those less aware, TSFH is a orchestra most renowned for trailer music. I highly doubt they would be involved in this just because I have yet to hear of them commiting to long term contracts for any shows or movies. One day... I can keep hoping one day they do. Anyway, artists include: Alexandre Desplat, Danny ElfmanRamin Djawadi (Game of Throne/House of the Dragon, Westworld) or Hildur Guðnadóttirm (Chernobyl) who has also worked on big films like Joker, Danny Elfman, Michael Giacchino.

[@Rachel-xg7hs]

Ludwig Göransson is doing some great work! Wouldn’t mind if he took over. If not him, there are many who could take Williams’ themes and run. James Newton Howard composed for Fantastic Beasts. There’s a lot wrong with those movies but the first one is really good, in my opinion, including the music.

[@grokeffer6226]

Hopefully, none of the characters will be miscast. My personal choice for an actor to play Dumbledore would be Gary Oldman. He's old enough to be aged up with makeup to look like a very old man, but young enough to still be around when the series wraps up. He's got the acting chops to nail the role, too. I'm also hoping for more detail and accurate descriptions of the books, especially the climactic battle for Hogwarts and the bit about Hogwarts' House Elves.

[@joshuahallett6235]

The key to getting a casting that will be widely accepted and beloved by us classic-era fans who grew up with the books and films is for them to be book-accurate down to the micro detail. For example, Harry and Lily should have GREEN Eyes. Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, Severus, Peter, and others should be age-accurate as can be reasonably expected from a supposedly book-accurate adaptation.

[@hallowwolf3599]

I personally don't need everyone's hair and eye color to be 100% accurate if the actor's performance is otherwise true to the character. I really enjoyed the performances by the actors in the Percy Jackson show, even though none of the main 3 actors would be considered "book accurate" in appearance. Considering Harry's resemblance to his parents is mentioned multiple times, they should definitely try to find two people to play his parents who resemble the actor playing him in the correct ways (though Lily's eye color can be achieved with contacts or something), but otherwise, I don't think Harry and Lily need to specifically have green eyes.

[@joshuahallett6235]

@@hallowwolf3599 Hmmm 🤔 interesting, but by that logic, if they don't cast people with green eyes, they could use contacts for one or both, given how many times it's brought up. Still, I agree as long as they look similar, I think they could pass. My biggest thing with the movies is more to do with the age of Harry’s Parents and their Generation. That is the main thing I would like to see corrected. Don’t get it twisted: Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, and the others are/were fanominal actors and definitely deserved a part, but it was still hard to deal with reconciling most of them as being in their 20s/30s. I can give a bit of leeway with Remus due to his condition and Sirius spending over a decade in prison, but there is no excuse for James, Lily, or Severus. Peter, I think this is a weird one, as it is hard to know how staying in one’s animal form for extended periods of time would affect the human form.

[@solaris9426]

The chapters are all fairly short, especially in the first few books, so they may have no choice but to combine multiple chapters together to fill the runtime depending on how long each episode is. This would be especially true if each episode were an hour long.

[@sunshineimperials1600]

If each episode was equivalent to one chapter in the book (and each book would be one season) then the show would be probably be even more detailed than the books themselves, since especially for the early books, chapters were fairly short.

[@hallowwolf3599]

the only problem with this is that it seems like they rarely, if ever, give shows longer seasons later on (if anything, they tend to shorten seasons the longer a show keeps going). So I am wondering if the later books will still wind up more truncated because they adapt both Philosopher's/Sorcerer's Stone and Order of the Phoenix with say 10 episodes, when OOTP should probably get at least 16 episodes to keep the same pacing. Numbers are purely just for examples, I have no idea what number of episodes HBO plans to use for the first season, and I'm also not wanting to start a debate on the best number of episodes for each book. Just that because of the varying book length, they would need to have more episodes later on for a consistent series (particularly with regard to how "faithful" the adaptation is), but with the way TV shows are made, I'm a little skeptical they will do that. Unless they decide to split the later books into 2 seasons each, but that would have it's own problems, too.

[@jasonp.1195]

I agree and disagree. The on location shots were great, and the Great Hall used real stone floors so it also looked fantastic throughout the production. But I thought the Hogwarts Legacy game layout for Hogwarts was a brilliant synthesis of those sets. Something I'd like to see retained and expanded upon for the television show. Mostly as I do not trust the television production to have the time to reinvent the Hogwarts layout in any fashion superior to what the game developers managed. Otherwise I anticipate something similar to the cinematic portrayal wherein the sets themselves were fantastic, but there was very little sense of how the castle was internally connected beyond those sets.

I'm so glad that JK Rowling is going have a huge part within the series, I mean, we wouldn't have it any other way, right? Now, we have the comfort of knowing that she's going to be side-by-side the writers and directors. This means that everything is going to be canon for the most part and that the liberties will not be taken lightly or completely out of context. I also feel JK Rowling can and will insert additional backstory and context for all characters. She is quite literally the creator of this universe she knows more about them than anyone else could ever fathom. I have complete faith that all will work out. I do say that the most difficult part will be casting and the retention of said actors.

[@SUP-h9d]

[@tyler4418]

Yeah, a lot of adaptations these days unfortunately can't have the original author to keep it accurate since they're dead (AMC's Interview with the Vampire and RoP being great examples), and it turns out horribly altered. Unfortunately certain people are going to kick and scream for the next few years, and harass the people involved in the production simply because they don't like Rowling.

Yes, because JKR is on that team (and I can't imagine her allowing her story to be remade without her anyway - she's always kept excellent control of her franchise), I think we can have pretty good faith that the canon will be faithfully reproduced. I hope the series might expand on the official canon, actually - with JKR's blessing and control.

@@SuperMoviemaster21 I haven’t played the games but movie Snape is not even close to his book counterpart. Alan’s Snape is dramatic, sarcastic and stoic. I loved his portrayal, but book Snape is an emotional mess who spits on the ground, swears & goes unhinged. He’s like a bubbling cauldron ready to blow up. They also removed many of his heroic moments from Prince’s Tale in favour of portraying a Lily & Snape story. He’s also more nasty, brave and just more everything. The Spinner’s End chapter I mentioned is pure masterpiece and arguably one of the best chapters in the series. It gives us a totally different side of Snape where he is in complete control and showcases his mastery in fooling as a spy. He basically plays Bellatrix like a fidel, turning all her words against her.

If you think about it, the movies were just a remake of a series of books. So we’ve already had the remake era (and it was obviously wildly successful). They aren’t writing a new book to tell the same story, or making a new movie to tell the same story. They’re launching a show. It’s its own thing. I don’t hate the idea like all the Disney remakes, because there’s so much opportunity here to add in more details they couldn’t the first time. Won’t know until we watch it but I’m excited.

They promise 7 seasons in 10 years. The same time span the original movies had. So no reasons to worry, I guess.

I hope they do the following: 1. Make sure the right person says the right line (not give all Ron's funny or intelligent lines to others to dumb him down) 2. Keep the flashback and Gaunt scenes in the Dealthy Hallows (my favourite book, but they left much of this out, like when Voldemort returned to Hogwarts to ask for a job looking like a shadow of his former handsome self) 3. Show a real life scene of the Peverell brothers and how they founded the deathly hallows (unlike an animated scene as per the movies) 4. Stay true to the source material and keep modern politics and social issues out 5. Hire actors that look like how they're portrayed in the books 6. Include more context into the first season or where ever it fits (like the scenes of Voldemort killing Harry in Godric's Hollow or Kreacher helping Regulus find and take the locket in the cave)

[@chance6176]

I read the books in grade school and followed along with the films and was definitely one to be swept up into the Potter hype when it was big. I even make a habit to watch all the film adaptations at least once a year. I even thought they did well with Fantastic Beasts barring the controversy with Depp. In my opinion I believe they did well with what they had for the time and the films I believe could stand alone as good pieces of cinema. They have patterns and story elements which go well with the young mystery novel genre they're based on. Were they to remake the series, I do not doubt it will bring controversy whether they actually do pull it off, nigh on failure at the low end. But I don't doubt there are good directors out there, however Potterheads are much like LOTR and Starwars fans, very serious. They even bite the creator sometimes for posthumously changing any detail of the work. I really don't think successful media needs a remake, especially when that's all the industry is these days, "safe remakes of popular franchises." Truly they should take a look at all the critical failures of the stories and IPs that have flopped in recent years. The public craves new and exciting things, I believe in the case for the Wizarding World, fantastic beasts was a good solid direction to start. Keep the IP but tell stories that haven't been told in interesting ways. Someone in the comments here talked about the four Founders of Hogwarts and I think that's an awesome idea they could take and run with, or talk about Ginny and Harry's son and his story, or even the first war with Voldemort as a suspense drama or something. Regardless, thank you for your videos and I hope you're well!

The fact that she thought Emma Watson was perfect for the role and has stated that she wrote Hermione with HERSELF in mind tells all. I was already put off CC because of how much things were changed to make it fit, I've locked it behind "poor fanfic" in my mind.

That's the thing, this story has become a phenonemom, iconic, classic ht that has helped change people and left behind a huge legacy. There is going to a lot of pressure and stress on anyone who does this, cast and crew. It will be a rough ride, since many actors are irreplaceable. I am surprised on the whole thing and it is a risky move. I am surprised this is going on, since the films get shown every three months or so. I don;t think there is any need to reboot it or do a series. The last one ended 17 years ago, it is a bit too soon for my opinion.

[@reifuTD]

I do feel like oversaturation is a risk look at Star Trek, Star Wars and Marvel. These franchise have may series running at the same time and many new ones coming out. That makes matters worst these seasons are short. Example why do we need three live action star trek shows running at the same time with low episode counts that don't allow the series to explore the characters and story in the same way as the old series did when you can take that time and money and make one series build the characters and story better over time.

It give's the oppatunty in a season to include almost all of the book that a standard film can't and include background stories that will be good for the nerds. The sad reality is that there has been few films that have been better than the oridginal film but with HBO and the game of thrones style means that although it will be hard to see a new cast, ther is now the oppatunity for the story of the magical world to branch out into new storys once the first books are done with.

[@Pepperrelish]

The beauty of the series is that each encompasses a year. So it would be easy to match each season to a book. While the first three books are not as large as the last four, JK has had a long time to fill in details and back stories that she wasn't able to put into the first books. Remember when she was trying to get Philosopher's Stone publish she was an unknown! Getting a publisher to bite on a short children's book would have been much easier than trying to get them to commit on a thousand page novel.

[@Me-wk3ix]

@Pepperrelish for sure. I've never minded that at all. It's always made sense to me, as the stories grow with the kids and the audience. Just curious how the seasons will even out. I think she'll end up giving lots of background and detail that she couldn't in the first few books. That could be very cool if done well.

[@FuzzyFoot58]

Three visual things they MUST change from the films are: All spells have a visual effect in the books and NOT invisible as in the later movies and this should be followed.
