Alan Rickman cast as Snape was so spot on. He REALLY was Severus Snape. I hope they NEVER redo these movies.

[@foamoftheocean]

HBO Max

[@Sammy_shifting]

So bad, they are already pre-filming the saga from 0, again, the worst thing is that the cast is nothing like it and JK Rowling agreed. I would have done the sequel from when in "relics of the death part two", when Harry takes his sons to station 9/¾. it would be nice if the sons Potter and Weasley granger spend some adventures in the new Hogwarts that was previously destroyed by Voldemort .

[@ClauOroJaspe]

[@jonahthrane812]

Who ever plays snape in the new series wil have MASSIVE shoes to fill. Edit: yes, there's a new series in pre production with HBO. It has been confirmed to be in the works, but so far no actors are confirmed and no sets etc, it's all in pre-production.

[@GreenFalcon926]

Yeah I agree. I'm really worried about the casting and who they are going to change, or .... Ruin. Snape and Hagrid will be the most difficult.

[@jessfidler2356]

I’m excited and hope they get his age right though 😂

[@jacedoran2853]

I hope it’s either Adam driver or preferably Keanu reeves both would fit Adam is a bit young but both fit

[@jonahthrane812]

@@jacedoran2853 I wouldn't chose either of them unless they had immaculate English accents. That's one thing I loved about the movies, we are in England, everyone needs an English accent. If Adam driver is cast as Snape he needs to have a flawless accent or it'll ruin snape as a character for me. He is too major a role to have an American accent.

I mean people have their days 🤷‍♀️ And Rick man also was probably sick of being strangled. He also was battling cancer that he only shared with a handful of extremely close confidants; right before filming the order of the Phoenix- the rest of the filming for the other movies. But refused to give up his role despite the battle. The man was in pain and tired all the time. I think we can all cut him a break for this one, haha.

[@ltee1233]

Alan Rickman was a true national treasure not just for playing the role of snape but for the man he was and all the roles he had taken and made his own. The way he helped mould the next generation of young actors when he was on the hp set. A true professional and a true gentleman. R.I.p you absolute legend, your work lives on forever

[@danabachy]

[@laurenelizabeth2505]

A reboot...so insane... so legit pointless. The only reason they're doing is to satisfy a money hunger. Not inspired. The story IS a masterpiece - it is complete. No need to RE-DO a masterpiece.

[@DarthSherm94]

@@laurenelizabeth2505 ikr there is no need to do a reboot, the series itself is fine so why reboot it with a semi decent series that’s only gonna satisfy the fans that don’t know that much about the series or book

[@laurenelizabeth2505]

To me, it's disrespecting the purpose of art. As art is a creation; once created, inspires other creators. To try to replicate the original creation is just defeating the sacredness of the original. And the underlying purpose of "rebooting" is not founded in creation integrity, rather it's desperate and lazy.@@DarthSherm94
