The dialog I PRAY makes it to the series: "This is your copy of Advanced Potion-Making, is it, Potter?" "Yes," said Harry, still breathing hard. "You're quite sure of that, are you, Potter?" "Yes," said Harry, with a touch more defiance. "This is the copy of Advanced Potion-Making that you purchased from Flourish and Blotts?" "Yes," said Harry firmly. "Then why," asked Snape, "does it have the name 'Roonil Wazlib' written inside the front cover?" Harry's heart missed a beat. "That's my nickname," he said.

The houseelfs for example are integral to the plot, but portraiting the characters behaviour towards them faithfully would either make them utterly unlikeable, or send a very bad message. I feel like the underlying political philosophy of JK's work is something that should be modernised and would actually benefit from the change story wise. Making Dumbledore and the Order of Phoenix a more progressive force in the story, i.e. actively believeing in changing a system all of them seem to be aware is descriminatory and outright evil at times, would underline both how evil Voldemord actually is, and maybe more importantly how the blatant conservatism of the ministry of magic made Voldemords come back possible. While that would definitely change the neo liberal, extremely individualistic and conservativ philosophy of Rowling, it wouldn't even necessarily go against ehst thr character proclaim to be their values.

Harry was more prone to wallowing and needing pushed, whereas Ginny was more about going out and doing things. I think that needing to give Harry the space to recover from his plethora of trauma, needing to take care of him, would have been constricting to Ginny, who had lived her whole life pushing against systems (only girl, youngest child, etc.) and needed someone who was more independent - who she could support, yes, but also who was self-reliant/self-confident enough to do things for themself without placing that signifcant burden on her basically (to oversimplify) Ginny had to fight for her place whereas Harry was given his place on a silver platter and had to learn what to do with it, which resulted in them having very different approaches to life. but, ultimately, it is just a story. there are far more weak areas (and a helluva lot of issue with JK herself) ..so plenty of room for interpretation

Sometimes you gotta let kids be kids and showcase the magical school they reside in with a positive light. Things aren't doom and gloom 100% of the time. So, the movies kill that whimsy and the mystical feeling of it all. Many times the books are really funny, comforting, and make you feel warm and fuzzy, you know?

Several things I want to see from this series. 1. COLOR! The color palette from the films was so dark and somber. In the books people are wearing bright colors and objects are just as bright. Let Lockhart wear lavender! 2. Better scale to Hogwarts. Some of the locations, like the Gryffindor common room and the library were so dinky in the movies. Let Hogwarts Legacy guide the scale we can see in live action. We should see groups of students filling large rooms. 3. More secondary character action. We need all the students to be with us for this adventure. People like Lavender Brown should be there from the beginning, not just when they are needed to be dated. And also, yes, some more diversity at the school, but not necessarily by changing the race of existing characters. Just show off the population of the UK a little more. Have Ginny hanging out with a black and an Asian set of friends in her school year, things like that. 4. I'm a Hufflepuff, but PLEASE, let Ravenclaw have an eagle as their crest. Then give some Ravenclaw student an excuse to spout off some big brain knowledge about how the raven in Ravenclaw is Old English for black, and therefore the name is actually 'black-claw' and eagles have black claws.

This is long. I have so many mixed feelings. On the one hand, it can make things a lot more book accurate. I have some particulars here: 1. Snape's worst memory may be more accurate (aka we see him call Lily a mudblood) and we get a good depiction of "The Prince's Tale" (aka seeing Snape brush off Lily's concerns about Avery and Mulciber and embracing the dark arts.) 2. SPEW/Hermione actually being pretty ruthless 3. Harry & Young James played by the same actor to show they are identical 4. Lily and Harry having the same color eyes 5. Parent! James and Lily actually looking 21 years old instead of looking like they have had 5 kids and a mortgage. 6. Ron isn't just a sidekick and the "you ask a question, she has an answer, why do you ask a question if you don't want to be told?" 7. Snape depicted as an actual bad guy 8. ARIANA DUMBLEDORE'S STORY IS EXPLAINED 9. Victor Krum being an absolute mess 10. More detailed story of the Marauders told in book three 11. Remadora hospital wing scene my beloved 12.Ginny Weasely being the total snarky and feisty Jock she is, and a book accurate Hinny first kiss 13. A Book accurate Romione first kiss 14. Sirius and Remus actually being friends. 15. Sirius's mother's screaming portrait, also Sirius being a chaotic mess. 16. Kreacher's tale But on the other hand: 1. No John Williams score 2. That actually is a deal breaker for me 3. IDK if I'll ever be able to see anyone else playing Snape other than Alan Rickman. 4. It lowkey feels like they're beating a dead horse.

I think what a lot of people who are forgetting to mention is the amount of hate and abuse the new actors are going to get. Like there’s definitely gonna be a lot of actors who obviously don’t look like the actors who portray the characters in the movies and a lot of people ( who have only seen the movies) only see the characters as the actors in the movies like Daniel Radcliffe as Harry Potter even if Daniel Radcliffe doesn’t even completely look like how Harry does in the books, for example, his really messy hair which shoots up in the back. It’s just there are so many absolutely amazing British actors in the movies like David Thewlis, Gary Oldman, Alan Rickman, Michael Gambon, Maggie smith and many many more. A good example of an actress getting an unreasonable amount of hate and abuse is Bella Ramsey who played Ellie in the last of us because some people weren’t happy that she didn’t quite look like Ellie in the game even tho she is still young, so then, put that on an even bigger scale with a franchise like Harry Potter which is already very successful so it’s going to be much worse for the actors and actresses portraying the characters. Sorry this is really long I went on a bit of a rant lol

I just re-watched HBP after reading the book again. I actually kind of like some of the changes they made for the movie. But Harry nearly murdering Malfoy and then going to the RoR with Ginny to kiss her totally takes a) the drama out of the scene, as in the book Harry is terrified for what he just did and b) is so out of place even within the context of the scene. Them kissing after winning at Quidditch makes so much more sense.

It just struck me that they will get new people to play the amazing professors we all know and love😨

My biggest hope is that they will do Half-blood Prince justice. IMO, that was the weakest film in the series due to artistic liberties of highlighting the teen angst drama and cutting out the core elements and themes that made it the calm before the storm on the horizon that made it, to me, be the strongest book in the series. The lead up to Harry kissing Ginny was so much better in the book, when I first read that part I held the book away reacting like one of the background characters in the Supahotfire rap battle video. The build up of Harry (and us) having no clue whatsoever to how the quiditch match went, and him seeing Ginny with the snitch and the that leading up to the kiss is what made that sequence so solid, because for once I felt invested in quiditch as opposed to it just happening in the other books. The way they had Quiditch actually have a centerpiece kind of role, Harry having to balance captain's duties while trying to figure out what Malloy was up to when nobody believed him. The way the Diagon Alley sequences were changed for the worse imo in the movie, even managing to ruin what the room of requirement looked like. If they can remedy things like that and include other great scenes cut out, that would be amazing. To me it will be bittersweet simply because the original casting was spectacularly well done, and I would have preferred to see all of that with the original actors.

I wanna see pavarti patil, and padma patil in the yule ball dresses/robes as the description in the books are for them (maybe Hermione's too) Bc the dresses they use in the movies dont match up w/ the books description I feel like when i watch the remake/reboot/some sorta new version, i'd either feel nostalgic, or sad of disappointment. But lets just hope it ends up a great remake

All I want is a consistent vision. We all know how the books end now, so the series can now be fully informed of the lore. They shouldn't need to retcon things, or be like "Oh, by the way, Harry has this mirror thing that shows him Dumbledore's eyes" or whatever. I want Expelliarmus to be red, not made of fire like Snape's in CoS, not invisible like Prisoner of Azkaban, not blue like Cedric's. RED. And speaking of red, GINNY! What they did to Ginny in these movies was atrocious and she deserves better. As much as I like the films, I tend to get frustrated with their inconsistencies. It's like the first movie is in one language and the other is a different dialect. This is their chance to fix things, and I hope they do. EDIT: AND GIVE THEM SOME ROBES!

Harry Potter is already diverse, if you read the books you’d know that. They don’t need to race swap characters like Hermione or Luna. That will drive fans away and show they aren’t actually interested in staying true to the books. Just elevate the TONS of diverse characters that already exist and weren’t (or very little) in the movies. Lee Jordan, Angela Johnson, Dean Thomas, Cho Chang, the list goes on and on.

I agree. I think there's definitely scope to elevate the relevance of the non-white characters in this adaptation rather than race swapping. Lee Jordan was the twins' best friend in the books and Angelina dated Fred and was Harry's quidditch captain after Oliver Wood just to give an example of how you could easily miss their relevance in the og adaptation. Also i loved their characters in the books. JK also mentioned before that she had a lot more background for Dean Thomas in her head than what made it to the page so I'd love to possibly see him more too. Also, the friendship between Lavender Brown and Parvati! I know Hermione seems to not get on that well with them, but I think it would be good to include that background female best friendship to show that, yes, Hermione also has roommates!

I feel like WB learned the wrong lesson from the Fantastic Beasts movies. Instead of hearing any criticism of the writing, they decided "familiar is better than new" and are going back to the deepest, easiest well they have: the original books. And now instead of bothering to "adapt" anything to screen, they'll just take exactly what happened in the books and film it (see: Disney live action remakes of animated classics). And because JK wrote the books, of course she should write the TV series because that's basically the same thing, right? /s

That was my favorite book for a long time, and those chapters were FASCINATING, and I was really bummed that the movie kind of breezed through those scenes to make more screen time for the silly love triangle stuff.

Just make Ron good. I remember reading POA back in my 8th grade and when Ron stood up against Snape infront of the whole class for Hermione and got detention I was like: I want a boyfriend like this. Then I watched movies and I couldn't recognise the witty, street smart protective Ron I liked from books. The movies entirely changed people's view on him. I just wish they get him right.

The only thing they can do in my opinion to have a great series is adding things that happens and the books didn't tell, like more backstories, but within the logic of the books. Like for example when the guy who was the rat (I don't remember its name in english) is finally discovered we see what happened from when he turned side and when he killed the muggles and all, to see how he became a pet for the weasleys. It would be a good episode cause we don't know why he actually changed side except being more scared of voldy and how he find his way to them.

I can't stress enough how good you're videos are! Your videos are soo much fun and you are so expressive and emotionally attached that it's a delight to watch. I'm rooting for more!

IMHO a large part of the shows success or failure will be up to the show runner and who they cast as Harry, Ron and Hermione. They caught lightning in a bottle with Grint, Watson and Radcliff and lightning rarely strikes twice. I think its way too soon for a reboot but if they can get Chris Columbus on board, they might have a shot at making it work.

For instance... 1.Lily and James to be very young when they died. 2.Lily and Harry both have green eyes. 3. For Hermione to not be the only brain of the group as Ron had large amounts of common sense and Harry was also rather intelligent and had superb instincts. 4.Dumbledore to be clam and have a mystical personality. 5. Dumbledore to explain Harry the flaw in his plan properly. 6. Harry's total badass retorts "No need to call me Sir,Professor." 7. Ginny to be a total bad bitch like in the books. 8. Harry and Ron's relation to be profound and their friendship expressed properly ( he was Harry's total bestie after all) 9. Hermione to catch Rita Skeeter in a jar. 10. People actually never taking Voldemort's name and being hella scared to do so. 11. Voldemort to be actually kinda scary instead of noseless and a bit of a joke. 12. Hermione to be a hardcore,nasty genius instead of just a nerdy bookworm 13. AND YES Harry breaking everything in Dumbledore's office after Sirius's death. 14.

When you pointed out that you and I will not be the same age as the characters and have grown way past them, I actually had to stifle a sob. I received the first book for my 8th birthday and I just turned 31 on April 10th. These books have been such a massive part of my life and that hurt my soul…

I think when you spoke of those of us who grew up when the movies and books were coming out, you perfectly described why I don’t want this to happen. While I would love to see the events that didn’t take place in the movies happen, this is just a smack in the face that I’m no longer a kid. Those times are gone. You’re right, it hurts like crazy to be older than your favorite characters, especially a significant amount, when those were the ones you grew up with. It shows you just how much time has passed. It’s also hard because those movies are so special to me, and I don’t like feeling like they could be overshadowed, or that they’ll no longer be as special because of this series.

A proper battle of the Astronomy Tower, all the memories in HBP, SPEW and PEEVES! I was very sad when Peeves wasn't in the movies, especially OOTP when he's terrorizing Umbridge, and if he isn't in the show I will cry.

new watcher/subscriber to ur channel and already a fan of ur take on things. Personally I instantly got excited when I heard/read about the remake bc movies although epic can only show but so much and now jk partnering with a high power studio and streaming platform can now not only include more book detail that they didn't have time for in the movies but also can spread her creative genius and add MORE! I think not only me but pretty much everyone was swept away with this concept/idea of a secret/ parallel world of fantasy, I am hoping they dive deeper into that world. So not only show us more of the books but also show us more of the world, introduce new characters, or dive deeper into side characters back stories etc. This show has endless possibilities that could last for maybe 10+ seasons if done right.

I’d love more Weasley Scenes, specially Fred and George and the actual relationship between Harry and Ginny. Actually everything u already did in your videos. And the ”Take a biscuit, Potter” of course. I’ve forgotten so much from the books I should reread them. But the books were SO MUCH FUN and the movies were often SO SERIOUS, I hope the series catches up with the fun :)

My hope is that they'll include more stuff that happened in the books and maybe us Ravenclaws will *finally* get some more representation!

The stories we didn’t get, the characters that were done dirty, and the potential to make magic even more magical with advancements in SFX and digital art give me hope for this next adaptation. I think, done well, this could be a case of Pride and Prejudice. Both the 90’s and the 00’s adaptations are fantastic! Some prefer one over the other for their own reasons but, over all, all can agree that both versions were a credit to the genre and title. If lessons have been learned by WB and whoever will be at the helm of this next adventure then I believe we can all have hope. If what came before had to walk so that the next generation can fly then the next generation could be a rocket ship because of how sturdily the OG strided. And if nothing else- at least it wasn’t Cursed Child 🤣

I just found your channel! And I can’t stop watching the Harry Potter content. As a fan, I started with the books first and so I actually was bugged by many of the inconsistencies while enjoying the movies.. like Ron’s character difference, Dumbledore’s raging emotions and other plot holes (don’t get me started on Lumos under bedsheets at Privet Drive) So yes! I really enjoy all your videos for pointing these out which illuminate the details from the books which I really enjoyed. And since the HBO series is said to be authentic to the original books. I am really hoping all those details are captured this time around. Maybe they should start taking notes from your channel. 😅 Also, you do an impeccable McGonagall and Luna. (Maybe consider auditioning for Luna?)

I think part of the fear is the contention around HP and JK Rolling, the political climate.

Yes, I'd feel so much more excited if the show took an death of the author approach to the writing, but it seems like She will be involved

The cast made the movies to the point where I could overlook a lot of the film's flaws. If they remake it the cast has to be PERFECT. I'm talking about Sassy Harry, Bushy-Haired Hermione and Ride-Or-Die Ron. Not to mention they need to fix Ginny and Harry's relationships, have an opportunity to make The Marauders younger and capture the tragedy of their deaths and make Snape as slimy as possible. If they do this they need to commit to every detail

4:42 SAME!!! I couldn’t believe it when I read that part in Order of the Phoenix. Also seeing Harry dealing with denial by asking nearly headless Nick if Sirius turned into a ghost broke my heart.

as an avid his dark materials fan, you’ve literally made my day by acknowledging it’s existence. recently discovered your channel i love you shorts they’re so goofy and id maybe love you more if you couod do some kind of his dark materials content ❤️❤️❤️

I just want this new adaptation to be animated so we can get to see the more exaggerated characters from the books on screen. I want to see a 12 foot Hagrid with 2 foot wide hands I want to see an Umbridge that actually looks like a toad I want to see Dudley being wider than he is tall

They need to hire you as a creative consultant! (And to play half the characters! 😂)

I would rather have this reboot be an animated series than a live action series. They can do anything with an animated series, and they can add everything that was left out from the movies. For example, Clone Wars, it had multiple seasons that showed the days of Anakin as a Jedi until he turned to the dark side. It also had several stories of multiple characters. In that way, people are less sceptical and will be down to watch it. They can do multiple seasons and a new generation will get to experience the Harry Potter world in a different way.

Dumbledore with the “DIDYAPUTYOURNAMEINTHEGOBLETOFFIIIYAH-“ scared me-

Personally, the biggest heartbreak for me when this was officially announced was the aspect of replacement. The original series was huge, and it's what made Harry Potter so popular. So realistically speaking there's no way anything's ever going to "replace" that. However, there's that lingering feeling in the back of my mind that I can't shake off. And also, being real here, no matter how hard I try I cannot imagine anyone else playing Harry on screen. To me Daniel Radcliffe will always be Harry Potter, and I just can't see anyone else as that character; the same goes for Ron, Hermoine, Hagrid, Snape, Moody, and every other actor who's played all these different characters that I've grown up with and love to death. I do hope that this is at least a solid adaptation, but man, it hurts part of me sometimes that it's even happening at all.

there is not such thing as replacement, it is only to be too attached to the point it is unhealthy... Cause yeah original movies are not going to disappear, what is going to happen is that the people with this obsession is gonna act like idiots with the new cast since day one... And if the show come to do things better than the movies(cause it is a lot of room to make that since movie cut a lot and episodic series have the advantage of expanding even some stories from the books) this people is gonna be even more angry with the thing... just chill, you should actually be happy cause you will see more of this world.

So true... And I don't even like the movies all that much!

First of all, thank you for adding subtitles to your video because my natural language is spanish and I'm still perfectioning my english, it's good but it's not 100% perfect yet. Second, I left a little opinion about this topic in the question box on your instagram yesterday but it couldn't show my full opinion about this, so thank you again for making this video and I will write my full opinion here: I don't think this was the best move for Warner Bros, I would really have like much more an expansion of the stories we already have from the big screen to the streaming platforms like the origins of Voldemort or a story about the Marauders when they were students but coming back to this new series, my biggest issue and I think a lot of people is having this issue too is that we have been watching the movies for so many years, actually I was 9 when I watched The Deathly Hallows for the first time back in 2011 and now I'm 21 and we are so used to the actors playing their characters that it feels weird to see other actors playing Harry, Ron, Hermione, etc; Now don't get me wrong, I'm not expecting this series to be a disaster, I sincerely hope it will be a good adaptation and its biggest advantage is that it will show a lot of stuff from the books that we couldn't watch in the movies for obvious time reasons, so let's cross our fingers. I'm sorry this opinion was extremely long but I wanted to be clear and direct about this news, hope to see you soon in youtube and I'll be expecting more new videos on instagram, bye❤😊

I just subscribed. I could no longer deny the subscription-worthiness of your content! You are so intelligent, witty, and well-reasoned. Pretty much everything you said here: ditto.

I recently found your channel and you're pretty hilarious, while being knowledgeable of the story. For me a big thing has to be adapting Harry and making him more competent and show echoes of his potential that he could be Voldys equal. Harry doesn't need to be told stuff like a baby for the viewers, when the movies are so recent. Also, they need to make it more magical or go into depth on the different branches of magic. I feel this would help them differentiate from the movies, which were faithful re that love will always conquer hate.

Back in 2016/2017, I remember me and a few of my other HP geek friends, said to each other, "I really wish there was a TV show" and we felt like that could be amazing. Now, though, it feels so weird. What changed I don't know. But maybe after reboots and remakes and whatevers get rung dry, it will open up for side story lines like the other parts of the wizarding world or even James, Remus and Sirius and their lives. My hope is that in 80 years I can go, "This franchise was milked more than than the Marvel universe, but just LOOK at all the amazing media and fans and fanbases created form that, and that a generation can come out into adulthood like everyone else in the early 2000s, with HP being tied into their childhoods as deep as ours, yk?

We have to give Ginny the justice like she has in the books the ICONIC QUEEN she is in the books

I really hope to see: 1) All Weasley family members. 2) More personality for everyone; 3) Same actors, and not recast whenever a background character comes to the fore (Lavender, Quidditch player, classmates); 4) The stories of Bill and Fleur as well as Tonks and Lupins, I missed them a lot. 5) Bullying Hermione in the 4th book about Rita's accusations and her revenge. It was very impressive how she used that : With help of Luna's father she gave Harry a platform to tell people about the night Cedric died, which nobody believed. He was hated a lot more in the books, which I don't think was hinted at enough in the movies. I was the same age when I read the books and I wondered how one could endure so much hate. Umbridge's torment also felt like a lot more pain. 6) I agree because of diversity. This is supposed to be a different story, a few background characters who said a good word, if at all, are not enough. I would like to see different looking people (and it is not only about race, they should just stop being "beautiful" in this average way of movies. Hermione was not beautiful in the books so it should also be shown. I would like to see what you see in real life in the UK. 7) Expanding the story so that we're not just looking through Harry's perspective. There's a lot of place and time to create something new that won't contradict the main story, but will complement it. 8) Correct age and more personality for Marauders. 9) It would be great to see that everyone has a life and it's not only about Harry. Unfortunately, the movies after the 4th were a disappointment for me, I only watched them twice compared to the first three. The 2nd time to see that my mind hasn't changed. I hope I get what I've been hoping for for a long time.

Umbridge tormented him for hours , days , weeks and months with that bleeding quill ... even half of Harry's suffering wasn't shown in the movies; even Gryffindors started turning on him .

for all the people saying they want a marauders story, it’s a terrible idea, their time at school was super anticlimactic for a whole tv show and all the crazy stuff happened after their school years, it would literally just be a high school drama

Everything we know about this is going to be in this series anyway.... we'll likely get a full episode about the marauders. If the show ends up being faithful like they say, people will be satisfied.

Surprised to see a full length video after watching your great shorts for months. Was not expecting such a insightful video essay on nostalgia. Loved it! As something who also grew up alongside the characters and use to read the books with my father, trading chapters, (embarrassed to say we continued to do this into my high school years). I look forward to a remake/reboot. I was not part of any greater fanbase in those days and so never got to share my thoughts and feelings about the books, and eventually the movies, with anyone. I see it, and in a way I hope they market and create it in a way to please the aging fanbase. My little sisters do not care about Harry Potter for example and it would give older fans, like me, another great path of entry into a fanbase I have always kind of skirted around. (Not that I couldn't have found excuses to before but lets admit it after Cursed Child I wasn't really itching to finally jump onto the bandwagon.)

I'm so excited for it! You're a good example of how it's fun to see new actors in these roles. I cannot relate to the people who say they "can't imagine any other actors in the roles"🙄

7:06 i dont't agree with this at all, this is the problem with hollywood right now they need to focus on doing a good story and adaptation ,not to focus on that every character is from a different race and certain groups, and i don't see why would u need the character to be the same race that you are to see yourself in the story, hell i am a latino, and growing up i wanted to be Harry, goku Gohan, the terminator, Naruto, Obi Wan, Seto Kaiba, Solid Snake, and so on and so on. We are talking about an england wizard- alien warrior race- a Freaking Robot- a blonde ninja and that didn't matter in the slightest for me to resonate with the character it was about feelings or the ideals what made me fell identify. I didn't need a Latino Solid snake with churros or a terminator saying latino slurs, or a ninja that eats arepas instead of ramen. Is not about the race is about if they do the character justice. Imagine they give you an asian Luna and they make it a worse version of what you got in the movies or books, i really believe you are not going to be happy or feel identified in the story.

Hey Mikaila! I'm a big fan of yours, your videos are absolutely beautiful and I love them. Talking more about the subject at hand here ... I'm actually one of those aggressive book fans that need some Ron Weasley justice 🤣 so I've been kinda angry with all the movie fans ...but just wanted to mention that you made me see a whole different side of why movie lovers may be sad about the reboot because of the growing up with it thing ... I never even considered it that way because when I watched the movies it was consecutive so I never really felt like I grew up with them ...but sure must have felt like that to many people who saw it when it came out! So thank you for expanding my opinion...also thank you for saying it's not a remake! I mean even the movies aren't og so even they can be called a remake if we're being technical plus if we really do get a faithful adaptation then I'm sure we'll all be happy with the content because so so many beautiful things were kept out of the movies! Also like pride and prejudice, the Addams family , comic movies all have had successful movies but still we have gotten other interpretations we have loved too so why not accept this change for hp as well? After all like you said ..the movies aren't going anywhere

I am excited for this remake, but a little scared. 😳 Who are they going to cast for Serverus Snape?
