[@debbiethomas3687]

I'm not sure about Richard Harris being "too gentle for this world", he was more than a bit of a hell-raiser and a fair drinker, but he was a superb actor and an absolute triumph as Dumbledore. Much as I like Michael Gambon I often compare Richard Harris' calm, quiet, delivery to that of his successor and doubt he would ever have needed to raise his voice - he had the presence to make the character one of those people whom most would never want to disappoint, which is more effective. I wonder if really thought Fawkes was real (which seems unlikely) though or if he was just playing with the crew but, either way, I think the way the animators responded to the interaction was really sweet and if he genuinely didn't know then I'm glad he went to his grave without being let down by finding the truth. It would have been like discovering there is no Father Christmas.

[@giggles7179]

The thought that they're _already_ prepping the remake series is absurd. Were there scenes and subplots cut? Sure, but with the exception of Dumbledore's funeral (I will never forgive David Yates for _that_ omission), I say the original films did an excellent job of trimming what could be trimmed. Did _anyone_ really feel cheated out of SPEW? Secondly, when agreeing to the initial films, Jo Rowling insisted upon a contractual clause that required the British roles be played by British actors. By the end of the eight films, the franchise had employed almost every notable British actor that was willing to be involved (I'm looking at you, Ms. Swinton). More importantly, how are they ever going to replace Alan Rickman as Snape? Maggie Smith as McGonagall? The late, great Robbie Coltrane as Hagrid?! These actors _defined_ their characters. Lastly, it's been well-established that the television medium is of infinitely higher quality today than twenty years ago, but what kind of a budget would this series require for the fans to overlook the adaptations still fresh in our minds? The visual effects of the films were incredible. Is this _really_ something an episodic television production can top or even merely live up to? In all, this just reeks of a poorly-conceived money grab. In a worst-case scenario, the show pales in comparison to the films and the fans give up watching it halfway through the first season. Would the series be able to churn out the rest of the seven seasons all the way to _Deathly Hallows_ or would there merely be a failed production of _Philosopher's Stone_ that will sit gathering dust as an embarrassment of failed concept? If the show doesn't hold our attention, would the financial losses be so great that it could derail any other _Harry Potter_ features for the foreseeable future? It's all too possible and that's something they _really_ need to ask themselves. The original _Harry Potter_ films will stand the test of time. If you were a child - the core demographic - you had the truly magical experience of growing up alongside the kids in the films. If you were an adult, watching those same teenagers grow into magnificently talented young actors was emotional when we reached the end. Yes, the films have their flaws, primarily with continuity when a new director would step in and change the look and tone of the movies from those that came before it. But even then, the changes were generally embraced as the source material itself grew darker. That Hogwarts and Hagrid's hut looked so different in Cuaron's _Azkaban_ was easily to overlook because the film is arguably the masterpiece of the series. Could a series _really_ accomplish that kind of a miracle and maintain it over _seven seasons?_ They have an impossibly tall order. It would dwarf even Madame Maxime.

The fact I actually read all this is 👏👏👏. But yes literally how can you remake something as big and as succesful as these movies. It's like remaking star wars or lord of the rings. You can't do it and you're setting yourselves up to fail. I really don't understand this at all and it's clear JKR does not know what to do with this series anymore therefore she'll accept anything etc cursed child. The films overall hold up to this day and is still constantly replayed on TV, not to mention it left a mark on the filmmaking industry. It's completely uneccasary on the new kids to go through what this cast went through and it's a waste of time and money for them to attempt.The series as a whole needs to be put to rest and left alone for the future gen as it's slowly eating itself away and ruining a legacy.

It would be the best thing in the world to travel back in time just to watch harry potter a second first time around, magical!!

[@lmsmuffin]

I would love to go back to when I first saw Harry Potter the first time. My son and sister were also there and both have passed since then.

I’d EASILY go back in time and watch them all for the first time. 😍😭

[@elainebates6967]

I love watching Harry Potter movies every time they come on TV. I enjoy watching him grow up. It makes me think of my 3 children growing up.

[@DorothyHarrison-ok1rk]

I admire your dedication to providing valuable content. Keep making a difference!

[@helenmontgomery5357]

I loved Harry Potter! I read every book twice and I saw every movie with my son. I fell in love with the books before I was halfway through the first one. I hated to see it end.

[@bgmvillain9445]

R.I.P Alan Rickman.... you were the best teacher😢

[@lisas44]

We’ve lost a few, Richard, Robbie and Alan, RIP.

What I miss is the anticipation for the next book release. I once stood in line during a midnight release when the bookstore reopened at 11:30 p.m. just for Harry Potter fans. I bought a latte with an extra shot of espresso and read it for the next 26 hours. Good times!

[@CirilloRuca]

Alan Rickman, Robbie Coltrane, and Richard Harris were angels. Rest in absolute and everlasting peace.❤❤❤

This video format is like a friend invites you to watch their favorite movie and then talks through the entire thing.

[@SailorGreenTea]

4:06, how much would that sell for?

[@cappunocci9211]

I laughed at the "Blah blah blah blah, Disloyalty." "Ohhh."

[@wisconsinbound2123]

RIP all those wonderful actors who have passed on

[@fishy7417]

RIP Robbie... It's not Hogwarts without Hagrid

[@Mandcfrey]

I cherish all the first times that I watched Harry Potter as they were with my nephew. And sometimes we dressed up and went to the book premieres too. He was a great Mad Eye Moody.

[@DanielSadjadian]

Still so interesting to watch all these years later, great franchise for sure.
