Harry Potter TV reboot set at HBO.
 

Get those time-turners ready. We are going all the way back to beginning of the Harry Potter series, but this time for a TV series with an all-new cast. The show will be based on all of J.K. Rowling’s, who will be an executive producer of the series, seven books. Apparently, this show is going to be even more faithful to the books than the films were. What are your thoughts?

Brace yourself. The Transcommunity will tear this apart, especially if it gets high ratings and a second season.

I'm still a little skeptical this isn't an ongoing attempt to strong-arm the principals into a Harry Potter 9. Though some of those early HP movies were booooorrring... they're going to milk a whole season out of some of them?

I wonder how many trans will spontaneously combust after hearing about it?

Most likely, according to transcom and the like, a trillion, no less, even though there are not even enough people on the planet Earth.

But I think, what we are seeing is a possibly light of the end of the tunnel: after success of Hogwarts Legacy and seeing trans mutants inept attempts to trample sails of the game, which had shown their true face of degenerate insane bullies, I guess, WB execs figured out that this crowd is not worth pandering to.

I am sure they will make token proclamations about "twanz rights are human rights and lefts", but we all know the price of those statements, especially in a global recession.
Glory to Capitalism, I guess? LOL.

Get ready for black Ron Wiesly

That's the obvious worry. Not THAT, specifically, but maybe as a consolation prize they may go out of their way to diversify the cast so as to try and appease the crazy people still upset at Rowling for saying the sky is blue.

Hollywood hates gingers, I've been saying this for 10 years Ron Weasley will be re cast black. Now they are recasting the whole thing I can guarantee the Weasley's will be black

Why though? That’s what I want to know. It really is strange.

I’ve never been a Harry Potter fan, haven’t read any of the books or seen the movies, but I do admire JK Rowling for having the courage to speak up against the degeneracy that’s plaguing the world, and not just blindly following along the forced narratives of the woke media mob. She truly is stunning and brave.

Maybe I will check out the movies when I get a chance.

Nah. She’s just as woke as they are, only she’s not a complete NPC and has some common sense left in her. And many of them do know the truth but are too scared to say it. If you are part of the woke cult and say something against the narrative, you get this reaction:

She’s only “stunning and brave” because she has so much money and can get away with it. The common man, however, has everything to lose for standing up against the mob.

She is hardcore Feminist in the worst sense of the word and supported pretty much all of the Left garbage. She went astray only on trans issues, which labeled her as Nazi in the eyes of SJW. Which shows their "ability" to understand nuances.

While I applaud her standing against transcult, she is and people like her brought this **** upon heads of normal people in the first place.

As for Harry Potter, I've watched only movies and can't say I liked them. But I have strong aversion to fantasy genre in general, so my opinion doesn't count.

After many months, supposedly due to the two strikes that happened in Hollywood in 2023, an update on the TV series has been given.

Francesca Gardiner is in the running to be the head writer of the TV series.

The series has found a show-runner and director. It has also moved from MAX to the HBO channel.

Lawsuit between SKY television and Warner may delay things

Warner Bros. boss said that the series will be "more-in-depth" than the films.

Mark Rylance is being eyed to play Dumbledore.

Is Harry Potter still even a thing for younger people? I thought it was firmly a product for young millenials of the era?

The series sort of lost me once they were older in the movies. I got a kick out of the early, sort-of "middle school, high school" stories before it really got into the overarching story with the bad guy. And that one movie where they spent the entire time crying in a forest lost me completely.

While we wait for the TV series, Universal Orlando has unveiled its first look at the upcoming Harry Potter: Battle of the Ministry ride, which is scheduled to open May 22, 2025, at Epic Universe. Imelda Staunton will be reprising her role as Dolores Umbridge for the ride.

HBO says they are glad to have J.K. Rowling working on the series and that she has the right to express her personal views.

John Lithgow is nearing a deal to play Dumbledore.

https://deadline.com/2025/02/harry-p...re-1236285903/

Yeah, they're doing the race-swapping stuff. Won't support.

https://deadline.com/2025/03/harry-p...ng-1236313232/

My guess is that because Alan Rickman's performance as Snape in the film series was too iconic, they wanted to do something completely different for the character in the TV show so that many viewers won't compare him to Rickman. Janet McTeer seems like a solid choice for Professor McGonagall.

That just sounds like an excuse to gender swap.

I don't even like Harry Potter, but I am so sick of reboots. I think that any movie that came out in the 70's or after should not be rebooted. People are really lacking in the creativity department these days.

Six actors have officially signed the deal to join the series. Four of them were previously in negotiations. A new addition to the cast is the actor who played Sir Cadagon in the film series. He will now play Argus Filch.

HBO Chairman and CEO Casey Bloys says the series won't be infused with J.K. Rowling's anti-Trans views.

https://deadline.com/2025/05/hbo-har...ns-1236384307/

Uh, yeah? Obviously, the books never had anything to do with that, so why would the show?

Right. Unless these people running the show PLAN to infuse the show with trans stuff, why even go out of the way to mention that Rowling's "anti-trans views" won't be infused into things?

Harry, Ron, and Hermione have been cast. They nailed the way that Harry and Ron are supposed to look. Hermione? Not so much. However, perhaps her acting will be spot on.

Why have they already cast Lucius Malfoy? He doesn't appear until Chamber of Secrets.

https://deadline.com/2025/06/harry-p...ey-1236427857/

Probably because:

1. Lucius is the father of Draco Malfoy and Draco can largely be understood through his family.
2. Lucius is the the who set the events of Chamber into motion and they need as much foreshadowing as possible.
3. Lucius does continue to make a appearances throughout the series and you might as well cast him now.

It's either a way to get the people that can't separate JK from the series to still check out the show or um... uh oh.

As if Fantastic Beasts and Grindelwald didn't already destroy the franchise enough....

Production has officially begun, and here's the first official look at Dominic McLaughlin as Harry Potter.

Good luck, little Harry.

The kid who plays Hermione looks uncanilly similar to my 9 year old daughter. I was stunned when I saw that photo.

They've released a first look at Nick Frost as Hagrid.

This whole thing just screams "Temu Harvey Porter" boxed set.
