HUGE Harry Potter TV Series Leak! Release Date Revealed - HBO Series

[@MarkCologne]

I think this could be better than the movies simply because they will be able to add more of the books that they couldn’t include in the original movies because of budget and time limits

[@HarryPotterFanFicAudiobooks]

This is my exact thought process, obviously it’s the most hopeful, but I am optimistic.

[@Aeitch7775]

If they want to retell the story rather than remaking Harry Potter they could have just remade when his parents were at Hogwarts. That’s 7 more movies in itself the the part 1 and 2 being when Severus joins the death eaters

[@britinmadrid]

Yep, have to agree with them taking their time. Way too many projects across different media have been spoiled by greedy corporations rushing forwards towards the cash prize as opposed to concentrating on quality.

I was originally opposed to the series getting made, having grown up when the books were originally released and going to midnight movie premieres. However, I read that this series is going to be much more true to the books and try and cover many of the things that didn't make it into the movies.

[@scarlettwoman7880]

My son will be turning 12 when this series starts and I think that is fantastic as I was around the same age when the first book came out. There is something special about growing up alongside Harry Potter. I absolutely love my fiction, fantasy and sci-fi but the HP world is so warm and unforgettable that I know even now pushing into my late thirties. I am still a Harry Potter fan and I will always be so for the rest of my life.

As long as Tom Felton and Rupert Grint are given first refusal to play Lucious Malfoy and Arthur Weasley... and Daniel Radcliff and Emma Watson aren't involved, I'm up for giving the show a try. ^^

[@oliviergimenez6156]

Why wouldn't you like for Rupert and Tom to play as Arthur and Lucius ? I think they could be great and it would attract more viewers at the beginning. The beggining of the show will be the most critical moment for the shows global success, as the early years are far from being the more interesting, so imo bringing back previous actors for nostalgia is the best strategy. The story really gets deeper on year 3 so the showrunners will have to give us something to be invested

[@EllieGirl48]

I realise im late to the party, though I thought I would apply my 2 cents. If the TV show sticks 100% with the source material and does not stray, then I truly believe that this version of Harry Potter will be completely different from the movies. I have 2 visions in my mind. One from the books and one from the movies and them combined. I feel as if it were 2 different stories. If they nail the TV show, it will bring the books in line and will infact be GREAT! It's terrible for the movie franchise but great!

[@HarryPotterFanFicAudiobooks]

I think you hit the nail on the head with this, I really hope they stick to the books more closely

[@ClockworkMan13]

It will be titled: Harry Potter and the Quest For More Money

[@JohnSmith-rj4rs]

[@tommoore2012]

I don't think she will. JK did kind of go off the deep-end for a time making all kinds of changes to her story long after she finished the final book, but for a while now she's been much less vocal about that and not to mention that she's said she was never a fan of how many changes the movies made from her books. There's a pretty good chance that the show will be much more in-line with the original cannon source material with minimal changes.

I have a little bit of mixed feelings about this (now that I have a little bit more information than I did before seeing this video). A lot of good things are mostly happening and that I'm excited about. However, I'm sorry to say this, but some of the recasting for some of the characters just won't feel the same again for me! Like Alan Rickman as Professor Snape, and then Hagrid's actor! Nobody could fill those roles as well as those two characters as much of a role that they played for those characters (even if they were to recast them by actors who HAS read the books and who can play those characters to their best of their ability to). Alan Rickman will "always" be my Professor Snape (and same goes for Hagrid)! I'll give it a shot after rereading the books so I'm all caught back up again, but to me some of the recasting just won't feel the same to me (for the time being). I wish them luck in their endeavors.
