How would you feel about a future remake of HP films?

I wouldn't mind. But I think I would rather have it be a 7 year TV show so we could have more of the school life stuff and more interactions with side characters.

Although the cast for the films is almost impossible to improve, and, most importantly, we probably couldn't picture the characters in any other way by now, I disagree. The only characters I thought where casted perfectly were Hagrig, McGonagall, Snape, and Luna. Those are the ones I can't see anyone else doing.

I thought the Dumbledores, Lupin, and Harry (after the 2 movie) where terrible.

As for the rest of the characters, I thought they were fine but I wouldn't mind seeing someone else portray them.

I mostly meant the professors, and characters like the ones you mentioned Mcgonagall, Snape, Hagrid. Although I never liked Gambon and Fiennes as Dumbledore and Voldemort. Richard Harris seemed perfect for that role to me, pity he passed away. As for the trio, sure they were kids and could have acted better, but it's hard to see those characters with other faces now.

I don't think Gambon would be as disliked as he is if Richard Harris hadn't preceded him in the role. Gambon wasn't bad, but Harris was perfect, and that's a tough act to follow.

Earth without art is just "eh."

I don't think the films need to be more serious, but more faithful to the books is a good idea.

I disagree. I think a lot of the characters could be better cast: Lupin, Sirius, Aunt Petunia, Bellatrix and Tonks, for a start.

I would *beep* love it



well some said Gambon was better then Harris so there you have it.




Look like Tarzan talk like Jane! HAHA

Agree with the second post.

This series would be spectacular as a TV show. Something that annoyed me about the films were the chunks of important stuff they missed out. I would have loved to have seen all the Tom Riddle memories (including the Gaunt house ones too). As a tv show you have more screentime and more scope for character development. It would be difficult to replace actors like Maggie Smith or Robbie Coltrane (and no one plays Snape like Rickman did) but a good cast and a big budget would make this a great tv series. And no doubt the views would be through the roof!

Would they? Sure the first week would kill, but would people be sure to come back for a second season? Third? Sixth? That's the innate problem with Harry Potter is that you're betting the house on a SEVEN season show right from the beginning, no more, no less. And this time the whole world knows what happens in every season, in every episode, down to every last cliffhanger. We've seen it all before and there's not a ton of room for improvement in the biggest moments. The fate of the characters, the will they/won't they status of Ron and Hermione, the magical creations and the big set pieces. Sure, all the day-to-day moments and subplots from the books that we all wish were in the films are great, but really the things that kept most people entertained for years are now extremely well-established in pop culture, and extra iconic through the films.

Also another huge Harry Potter adaptation is kinda pointless if you can't be absolutely sure the budgets will hold for years and years until the big finale. You can't shortchange the Battle of Hogwarts, and you'd still have to find a way to make it as exciting as Deathly Hallows Part 2. And the show's kinda dead if your Harry, Ron, or Hermione take a hike midway through, which came very close to happening on the films. Nobody wants to see a recasting now that we know how special it is with the full growth spurt.

A Potter TV show would be great, in theory, but I just can't really see a super-faithful adaptation of the entire story as being very realistic. For all their flaws, the movies were already too well-produced and too faithful to the stories for another adaptation to stick close to the books and still keep everybody watching for years. The networks are happy to just air the movies over and over again and everybody seems happy to watch, and the theme park thing is just going to make them even more popular and beloved. I just can't see them going away to the point of justifying a complete straight remake anytime soon.

More likely if a TV show happens, I think they would either change even more to make it different, or it would end up being an "alternate telling" of the Potter stories through another character, like a Snape show or something. So then you could have hints of the major Potter events going on, all the stuff we know Harry went through, without having to show every single thing. It can be implied that Harry went into the Chamber of Secrets or was taken to the graveyard because we all know what happened anyway. And a Snape-focused show would make the series less dependent on kids, so less of a commitment for them, lower risk, less pressure on them, and less of a dealbreaker if one of them quits. I mean, wouldn't that be interesting if they didn't even show Harry onscreen until the Occlumency lessons in season 5? They could totally do it and that'd be a way to spark some excitement. Meanwhile the writers could have the freedom to make their own scenes up, you could take Snape away from Hogwarts and show him dealing with Voldemort and whatnot, and when he kills Dumbledore in the season 6 finale it'd be less of a plot twist and instead a culmination of their friendship/mentorship that we only saw a glimpse of in the books but got completely in the show.

I think that is a lot more likely and frankly more exciting than making The Harry Potter Show so that we can see Harry and Cho's date in season 5. Like...yay....

You do realise that if that were the case then each season after the 3rd book would have 30+ episodes per season.
