would be cool, especially if they do it with the bad ending have the mc become evil after the first season (the game). Now WB still owns the IP right? They should start working on HL2 while the tv show is in production, then once it's out release hl2.
is HP still a thing with kids? or is this for parents who still obsess over it and want their kids to like it too?
i'm 36 and pretty much matched harry's age as the books were released, and the movies were 5 years behind that.
It's for childless soifacing millennials with Peter Pan syndrome aka predditors
no troony but being jk rowling would probably be cool >billionaire >milf >clown on fans by making shit up on pottermore >steady diet of both troony and incel tears >oh it's been ten years here's another billion dollars

>is HP still a thing with kids?
One of the members NewJeans, a popular Kpop group, named Hyein is a really huge fan of Harry Potter that she often talks about in her streams and interviews. She even has the official wand merchandise and has all the hard cover books in English and Korean. So yeah, it's still popular, even with younger generations in foreign countries.
And before someone questions it, my younger cousin is a really huge Kpop fan and she stans her bias Hyein, who is the same age as her (15).

Thats cool honestly, dont care for either HP or Kpop but its good to see people genuinely passionate about something
I know!! This is some of my casting:
McGonagall - Olivia Coleman
Dumbledore - Idris Elba
Snape - Adam Driver
Hagrid - Cole Hauser
Voldemort - Jeremy Strong
Bellatrix - Jodie Comer
Notes:
-On Dumbledore, I considered Jared Harris as a very natural choice but the more I thought about it the more I could 't deny I prefer Idris.
-On Bellatrix, Eva Green immediately came to mind but I felt she was a little too obvious and on the nose somehow. I came to prefer my idea of Jodie.
-Jeremy Strong as Voldemort is my favorite idea.
>Voldemort - Jeremy Strong
brave, i love strong as kendall but he doesnt fit voldy. would watch if they cast him though
for lucius malfoy im thinking Macfadyen might be a good choice but he might be a little too old for that role now
also debicki as narcissa malfoy lol
I think Jeremy Strong would do a great job with the narcissistic gravitas of Voldemort. You might be underestimating him as an actor, he wouldn't just show up and be edgy Kendall lol. I'm aware it's an unconventional choice tho
I love Macfayden as Lucius, that's a genius choice.
>You might be underestimating him as an actor, he wouldn't just show up and be edgy Kendall lol
the reverse tbh i dont think he would be that interested in voldemort at least the movie version. maybe if they give him a little more logic and character i could see strong doing that role. anyways checked
Nothing is for kids anymore. The boomers and the economy prevented millennials from ever growing up so its all for them forever, and their kids are reaping the benefits of being raised by angsty insecure 15 year olds
In this day and age, 35yo old women that are in the exact timeline as you (and me) are now childless, with no family and many cats or dogs.
Is it really that rare or mindblowing that HP is the only thing they got left?
Think about it. Any other franchise from your teens is mostly dead or ruined.
I still play Mortal Kombat, but I loathe the last shit that keeps coming up
Meanwhile, HP with Howarts legacy keeps more or less fresh a 20 fricking years old IP
Yes.
In fact it's still going strong, in part due to what

said: the YA market was utterly destroyed by the 1-2 punch of twilight and hunger games shifting the genre's demographic towards legbeards and their power/romance fantasies, which means Harry Potter has practically no contemporary competition and likely never will.
The only risk is, ironically, if the tv series manages to shit the bed hard enough to poison the entire franchise.
frick.
it works way too well. she changes her body based on mood. maybe not trans, but genderfluid, that stupid fricking free pass to complain about oppression no matter what
40 is the upper end of the spectrum for the original target demographic
so those people who had kids in their mid-late 20s or early 30s now have kids around the age they were when they first read/watched them.
didn't your parents share stuff from their childhoods with you when you were a kid? music, movies, books, toys?
that's the example i had in mind
i was five and sheev scared the crap out of me
everyone knew what star wars was before phantom menace was announced
we played lightsabers when we weren't ninja turtles or power rangers

A bold new take on A Christmas Carol
starring
Sydney Sweeney as Ebeneezer Scrooge
Dave Chappelle as the Ghost of Christmas Past
A CGI Marlon Brando as the Ghost of Christmas Present
Rainn Wilson as the Ghost of Christmas Future
and
Danny Trejo as Tiny Tim
i can see it getting enormous viewership in the first episode and then waning terribly
it's not going to have word of mouth like GoT
everyone who's interested already knows the story
>it's not going to have word of mouth like GoT
Prolly will. Everyone and their grandpa read Harry Potter to their kid during covid lockdowns, or watched the movies. Sales went way up. The game increased immersion in the world.
If they're smart, it won't just be another rehash of the books, since everyone knows Harry's story by now.
i mean that people are going into it with plenty of exposure to HP. the story is well known by a hundred million people.
after the first episode of GoT, most of my friends didn't have HBO at the time, so i invited them over twice to watch it just to see them have their nips blown off. the people who saw it the first time came back with the ones who didn't see it yet.
the opening with the walker decapitating Royce and fading into the theme song gave everyone chills
i can't see the first episode of harry potter having that effect. >OMG HARRY A WIZARD WHAT
GoT was overrated garbage. The only interesting character was the crazy boy king. The rest of the show was bad British accents and pointless nudity. >OMG LE breasts AND VIOLENCE EBIN XDXDXD
GOT was popular because it was the average normalgay's first brush with fantasy. It's the same as the MCU making comic movies accessible to anyone, or Skyrim making normalgays realize that RPGs are worth playing
Just take an existing niche and heavily market it towards people who have never interacted with it, that means you can get away with low quality shit
way to miss the point
it was new. the bulk of the audience wasn't familiar with the books. it was surprising and kept viewers hooked. >OMG LE breasts AND VIOLENCE EBIN XDXDXD
not >holy crap that dude just threw a kid out of a window for witnessing him cuckolding the king with his sister? shit what happens next
for the original HP, readers/parents of readers WERE the bulk of the audience. they wanted to see the characters and world brought to life. the last film was released in 2011. it's not like vfx has made such great strides that the magic can truly be captured now, as was the case for GoT and jackson's LotR
No. That WAS my point. GoT was marketed on pointless shock value and entry level fantasy elements. Case in point le incest brought up by you.
This is what most of the fans of that shit show talked about >OMG Is that midget with prostitutes? So edgy bro 10/10 show

so we agree GoT was popular.
this is a thread about a new harry potter show, claiming it will be the biggest thing ever.
my point is that an HP adaptation lacks the criteria that made GoT the most watched show during its run

Pure delusions. HP is more well known and more family friendly than le incest and tiddies show. Ratings will be eclipse GoT
>If they're smart, it won't just be another rehash of the books
That's exactly what it will be, and that's why it will be so successful. The movies mangled the books because they were focused on being blockbusters within a two hour time limit. The books always should have been a tv series, they each cover an entire school year.
>i can see it getting enormous viewership in the first episode and then waning terribly
It will absolutely will be that. As due DEI requierments the cast will be filled with Black folk and other animals and nobody can really relate or enjoy watching some ape waving a wand while yelling "OOGA BOOGA".
Though it will be interesting to observe how big of a flop it will be - will it last a season? 2 seasons? 3? When will the sunk cost kicks the executives in the balls?
Ngl, watching it fail is probably almost as entertaining as watching actually good HP tv series.
>If anyone is under any impressions that this will fail they are delusional. This will probably be the most viewed show ever when all is said and done
Dude, rings of powaaa just flopped.
Billion dollars and possibly the greatest IP of all time and they flopped in the altar of diversity.
You seriously underestimate how fricked up the industry, people and society is atm. It ABSOLUTELY can flop regardless how much money is thrown at it or how valuable the IP is.
Lmao the original version of that must be copium extra. Le magical minorities never had anything bad to say about HP back then, they were fully on board just like the white girls and like them they built their personalities and political views around it. Pic rel for the reminder of how they all were before the 2020s.
i bet the uproar over the cursed child actress being black would've been significantly diminished if she hadn't been one of the ugliest human beings on earth
>As long as they keep the main trio white it should be successful
100% they wont be white.
Reasoning is simple -
1. Jk rowling already said that she imagines hermione as Black person and hermione in stageplay was already blacked.
2. Hollywood hates redheads, so ron has to be modernized into some sort of mixed race beast.
3. Hbo is consistenly doing "modern" casting now, see last of us or true detective s04 and its clearly ruining the shows, and they dont care.
Its 2024, 0% chanche that this will be faithfully casted.
>Jk rowling already said that she imagines hermione as Black person and hermione in stageplay was already blacked.
No she didn't, you're just an autistic incel who lacks social awareness. She was saying that to defend the black actress who played Hermione in the Cursed Child. Not because it's actually true, as anyone who's read the books can tell you, but because she felt it was the class thing to do. Hermione in the tv series adaption will not be black. This is WB's most valuable IP and they aren't going to risk it. Nor would they even be tempted to. You're acting like they're Amazon. They're not. >Hbo is consistenly doing "modern" casting now
No they aren't. >see last of us or true detective s04
Wow there were some nonwhites in The Last of Us and True Detective Season 4?? Holy shit I'm losing my mind!! >Its 2024, 0% chanche that this will be faithfully casted.
It will be perfectly casted, just like all of HBO's most important shows. No, that doesn't include your gay little video adaption you stupid virgin.
You really need to stop crying about imagined slights.
>you're just an autistic incel >you stupid virgin
Dude, are you a transvestite?
Like really, only girls and troons who try to imitate them use insults like "virgin" and "incel" and refer to Black folk as "blacks". So, dilate?
>It will be perfectly casted
child actors are really hit or miss, and when they miss it's noticeable in the worst way.
i hated the hp movies that i saw (1 and 4 i think?) the main trio were unwatchably bad to me.
radcliffe seems alright now, but he's still fidgety. grint fricked off to go have IBS or whatever he does. and watson coasted on the "i wanna frick hermione" train
There's probably nothing I can say to someone as stupid as you, but she was black in a minor adaption of an essentially non-canon book, because it's a fricking stage production and no one cares. HBO will be making the most profitable tv series of all time with this adaption, and will be drawing from the books, in which Hermione is white. They have no incentive to risk their most valuable IP by making her black. It isn't going to happen. When it doesn't happen, you'll forget how sure you were in this post and go on thinking you know everything as usual.
>but she was black in a minor adaption of an essentially non-canon book
Which was defended by the author. Nice job omitting that you fricking imbecile. >They have no incentive to risk their most valuable IP by making her black.

No, but you have, you stupid fricking philistine. You think prestige HBO tv is the same as the Little Mermaid or any other slop. You have no awareness of the difference in quality between an HBO production and the rest of Hollywood. I'm not going to keep arguing with you about something that hasn't happened and isn't going to though, believe what you want you total moron, you were always going to anyway.

She had no part in the casting of the play. Did you really expect Liberal left-wing Rowling to come out and say "frick this Black person b***h 14/88 hermione is pure aryan stock"?
Doesn't mean she's going to make the same decision as the play's producers for the TV show. She vetoed lots of casting decisions in the movies, forbade American actors from playing British characters, etc.
>The long-rumored Harry Potter TV series for HBO Max is on track to clear the biggest hurdle in its path to the screen: a deal with the books’ author JK Rowling who has creative control over any exploitation of her work
Rowling has famously never ceded creative control of the HP franchise at any level. Even when she sold the movie rights to WB, it was with a stipulation that she retained a veto on virtually all casting and scripting decisions. You can hate on Rowling and her shitty brainless teen fiction for lots of reasons, but I respect that she maintained control.
Those are the expected race swaps. They´ll spice it up by making Harry black. Not sure how that´s going to work when he falls for the asian girl though.
they'll americanize it
the weasleys are irish catholic baby machines
so they'll be mexican
>they'll americanize it
They can´t do that. Wands are essentially guns, if they turn the wizards into Americans Harry won´t survive the 7 seasons.
If Harry's black the whole thing dies.
Even before the echoes of a million DINGs fade, the fact is that Radcliffe's look, the one that most matches the front cover of the first book, is so engrained that it's cast a lookalike or lose the face of the franchise.
Any marketing exec on the planet would have an aneurysm if they knew they'd have to spend time reinventing the lead's look and getting the public to accept it.
Why don't they just adapt Hogwarts Legacy and watch the money roll in?
would be cool, especially if they do it with the bad ending have the mc become evil after the first season (the game). Now WB still owns the IP right? They should start working on HL2 while the tv show is in production, then once it's out release hl2.
Okay. I'm not ashamed to say it. I would have sex with JK
Dude, she's older than you mother!!!
she's 15 years younger than my mother
Bueno
Based! She always gave off GILF vibes!
It's for childless soifacing millennials with Peter Pan syndrome aka predditors
There's actual pics of her realizing her breasts are hanging out and getting visibly embarrassed lol
She's so embarrassed of her breasts lmao
>half her torso visible
>I totally didn't know I had cleavage haha
Why are women like this
Her shirt is thinner than her bra, so she wouldn't feel it moving downward bc all she feels is her bra
what? she's just fixing her shirt. it's like having your fly down. momentarily embarrassing so you say oops, zip it up, and move on with your life
Sure thing Miss Rowling

I'm guessing Tonks.
frick.

Yeah, fricking this. Everyone knows no one with a family would ever watch TV

31 and will be watching with my wife
I agree, way bigger than the movies. Think the GOT phenomenon x10.
The new Warner Bros CEO who ordered this knows what he's doing
you forgot that it'll flop because modern hollywood can't make good shows
As long as they don't raceswap Harry or Dumbledore, it'll probably be fine.
I literally and unironically demand Idris Elba for Dumbledore. I'm not joking. Think about it
Damn I can't lie that might work

>holy crap that dude just threw a kid out of a window for witnessing him cuckolding the king with his sister? shit what happens next
for the original HP, readers/parents of readers WERE the bulk of the audience. they wanted to see the characters and world brought to life. the last film was released in 2011. it's not like vfx has made such great strides that the magic can truly be captured now, as was the case for GoT and jackson's LotR
The books haven't been properly adapted. The tv show will be entirely different and far superior.
No. That WAS my point. GoT was marketed on pointless shock value and entry level fantasy elements. Case in point le incest brought up by you.
This is what most of the fans of that shit show talked about
>OMG Is that midget with prostitutes? So edgy bro 10/10 show
so we agree GoT was popular.
this is a thread about a new harry potter show, claiming it will be the biggest thing ever.
my point is that an HP adaptation lacks the criteria that made GoT the most watched show during its run
>so we agree GoT was popular.
when did I say it wasn't?
>my point is that an HP adaptation lacks the criteria that made GoT the most watched show during its run
Pure delusions. HP is more well known and more family friendly than le incest and tiddies show. Ratings will be eclipse GoT
>If they're smart, it won't just be another rehash of the books
That's exactly what it will be, and that's why it will be so successful. The movies mangled the books because they were focused on being blockbusters within a two hour time limit. The books always should have been a tv series, they each cover an entire school year.
The movies were better because they cut all sub-plots and fillers.
>they cut all sub-plots and fillers.
wrong, they literally turned it into 2000s ya slop series after the third one
>Voldemort and Dumbledore's entire backstories
>filler
i demand a graphic accounting of voldemort torturing his classmates in the cave and dumbledore shooting lightning bolts into grindelwald's butthole
HBO will have an easier time since the source material is finished. They started making the WB movies with three or four books published.
>i can see it getting enormous viewership in the first episode and then waning terribly
It will absolutely will be that. As due DEI requierments the cast will be filled with Black folk and other animals and nobody can really relate or enjoy watching some ape waving a wand while yelling "OOGA BOOGA".
Though it will be interesting to observe how big of a flop it will be - will it last a season? 2 seasons? 3? When will the sunk cost kicks the executives in the balls?
Ngl, watching it fail is probably almost as entertaining as watching actually good HP tv series.
Propah English rose innit?
unironically yes
she's not a model or anything but she's got the quiet english girl look and she's aged very well
If anyone is under any impressions that this will fail they are delusional. This will probably be the most viewed show ever when all is said and done.
>If anyone is under any impressions that this will fail they are delusional. This will probably be the most viewed show ever when all is said and done
Dude, rings of powaaa just flopped.
Billion dollars and possibly the greatest IP of all time and they flopped in the altar of diversity.
You seriously underestimate how fricked up the industry, people and society is atm. It ABSOLUTELY can flop regardless how much money is thrown at it or how valuable the IP is.
yes because rope was produced by fricking amazon
>Comparing Rings of Power to Harry fricking Potter
You live under a rock and should stop trying to predict the popularity of tv shows, sorry

Did you just pick a random number you heard once or am I missing a pun about moles here
yeah i don't see any moles either you got any pics with more skin so i can get the joke
Yes.
Troonbros..
Lmao the original version of that must be copium extra. Le magical minorities never had anything bad to say about HP back then, they were fully on board just like the white girls and like them they built their personalities and political views around it. Pic rel for the reminder of how they all were before the 2020s.
How does she do it?
are we gonna get some old lady emma
Rowling is a rod for the global litmus test.
If you disagree with anything she says regarding trans folk, you are part of the (big) problem in the world.
The people she made along the way betrayed her.
It’ll be a woke nightmare. A total chimpout.
Not what HBO does you little philistine /misc/tard
As long as they keep the main trio white it should be successful
i bet the uproar over the cursed child actress being black would've been significantly diminished if she hadn't been one of the ugliest human beings on earth
>this is considered one of the ugliest human beings on earth
who's that?
Uh anon that's racist
>As long as they keep the main trio white it should be successful
100% they wont be white.
Reasoning is simple -
1. Jk rowling already said that she imagines hermione as Black person and hermione in stageplay was already blacked.
2. Hollywood hates redheads, so ron has to be modernized into some sort of mixed race beast.
3. Hbo is consistenly doing "modern" casting now, see last of us or true detective s04 and its clearly ruining the shows, and they dont care.
Its 2024, 0% chanche that this will be faithfully casted.
>Jk rowling already said that she imagines hermione as Black person and hermione in stageplay was already blacked.
No she didn't, you're just an autistic incel who lacks social awareness. She was saying that to defend the black actress who played Hermione in the Cursed Child. Not because it's actually true, as anyone who's read the books can tell you, but because she felt it was the class thing to do. Hermione in the tv series adaption will not be black. This is WB's most valuable IP and they aren't going to risk it. Nor would they even be tempted to. You're acting like they're Amazon. They're not.
>Hbo is consistenly doing "modern" casting now
No they aren't.
>see last of us or true detective s04
Wow there were some nonwhites in The Last of Us and True Detective Season 4?? Holy shit I'm losing my mind!!
>Its 2024, 0% chanche that this will be faithfully casted.
It will be perfectly casted, just like all of HBO's most important shows. No, that doesn't include your gay little video adaption you stupid virgin.
You really need to stop crying about imagined slights.
>you're just an autistic incel
>you stupid virgin
Dude, are you a transvestite?
Like really, only girls and troons who try to imitate them use insults like "virgin" and "incel" and refer to Black folk as "blacks". So, dilate?
>It will be perfectly casted
child actors are really hit or miss, and when they miss it's noticeable in the worst way.
i hated the hp movies that i saw (1 and 4 i think?) the main trio were unwatchably bad to me.
radcliffe seems alright now, but he's still fidgety. grint fricked off to go have IBS or whatever he does. and watson coasted on the "i wanna frick hermione" train
Hermione will 100% be black. You think they're going to revert her to white again. Absolutely delusional.
There's probably nothing I can say to someone as stupid as you, but she was black in a minor adaption of an essentially non-canon book, because it's a fricking stage production and no one cares. HBO will be making the most profitable tv series of all time with this adaption, and will be drawing from the books, in which Hermione is white. They have no incentive to risk their most valuable IP by making her black. It isn't going to happen. When it doesn't happen, you'll forget how sure you were in this post and go on thinking you know everything as usual.
>Hermione
>most studious character
>parents are dentists
>dates white guys
>not asian
>but she was black in a minor adaption of an essentially non-canon book
Which was defended by the author. Nice job omitting that you fricking imbecile.
>They have no incentive to risk their most valuable IP by making her black.
lol. lmao. Have you been living under a rock ? There's probably nothing I can say to someone as stupid as you after this statement.
as much as you homosexuals whine about esg points and agendas, the bottom line still reigns supreme. there are certainly some execs who can articulate opposition to arbitrarily changing backgrounds without being racist
>we can see that changing the race of established characters creates an uptick in social media mentions prior to release, but moviegoer response is tepid
>it sucks that people get so up in arms about changing something as superficial as skin color, but you have to admit that some of our choices haven't made sense. for god's sake her name is snow white
>we can achieve diverse representation in our portfolio by establishing new PoC characters in original IP
>Which was defended by the author. Nice job omitting that you fricking imbecile.
See
>>They have no incentive to risk their most valuable IP by making her black.
>lol. lmao. Have you been living under a rock ?
No, but you have, you stupid fricking philistine. You think prestige HBO tv is the same as the Little Mermaid or any other slop. You have no awareness of the difference in quality between an HBO production and the rest of Hollywood. I'm not going to keep arguing with you about something that hasn't happened and isn't going to though, believe what you want you total moron, you were always going to anyway.

Sounds a bunch of made up bullshit to me.

Both major IPs. Both multi billion dollar studios. Both hollyslop.
>you about something that hasn't happened and isn't going to though, believe what you want you total moron,
Ironic. Anyway I'll screenshot and quote this post once some hideous nog or mutt is inevitably cast. But will you be brave to own up to this moronic post or will you slink away into anonymity like the little b***h you are? Only time will tell.
>Which was defended by the author. Nice job omitting that you fricking imbecile
She had no part in the casting of the play. Did you really expect Liberal left-wing Rowling to come out and say "frick this Black person b***h 14/88 hermione is pure aryan stock"?
Doesn't mean she's going to make the same decision as the play's producers for the TV show. She vetoed lots of casting decisions in the movies, forbade American actors from playing British characters, etc.
>Wow there were some nonwhites in The Last of Us and True Detective Season 4?? Holy shit I'm losing my mind!!
God, i hate women so much it's unreal!
how popular was the lotr tv show?
Unless it's animated I don't care. Children can't act.
>'ARRY POTTA DIDJA TELL THE MUGGLES ABOUT OUR TUNNELS TO THE WIZARDING WORLD?
the schizoid anon asked calmly
Well that depends. Will they replace gingers like always or will they just make Hermione black? Surely they wont do both.
they'll americanize it
the weasleys are irish catholic baby machines
so they'll be mexican
Rowling retains creative control over the TV show. Never happening.
proof
>The long-rumored Harry Potter TV series for HBO Max is on track to clear the biggest hurdle in its path to the screen: a deal with the books’ author JK Rowling who has creative control over any exploitation of her work
Rowling has famously never ceded creative control of the HP franchise at any level. Even when she sold the movie rights to WB, it was with a stipulation that she retained a veto on virtually all casting and scripting decisions. You can hate on Rowling and her shitty brainless teen fiction for lots of reasons, but I respect that she maintained control.
We're getting a black hermione at the very least, you can bet on it
it was a joke dude
Those are the expected race swaps. They´ll spice it up by making Harry black. Not sure how that´s going to work when he falls for the asian girl though.
>they'll americanize it
They can´t do that. Wands are essentially guns, if they turn the wizards into Americans Harry won´t survive the 7 seasons.
If Harry's black the whole thing dies.
Even before the echoes of a million DINGs fade, the fact is that Radcliffe's look, the one that most matches the front cover of the first book, is so engrained that it's cast a lookalike or lose the face of the franchise.
Any marketing exec on the planet would have an aneurysm if they knew they'd have to spend time reinventing the lead's look and getting the public to accept it.
i wanna push her shit in. with my dick.
theres a kelly reilly thread up. she's got the same kind of look
>sad eyes
>excellent jugs
>nice hair
oh shit where
but... she hasnt aged a day
That's what a billion dollars and any army of beauticians gets you.
