Eden, what do you think about the new harrypotter series? My honest thought is they're trying to replace all the old actors (might especially her). But what do you think?

I love that Emma is so pretty and looking healthy, in that photo.

I don't think they mean to replace the actors. I think they just want to make money.

A TV show series just doesn’t have the same impact as a movie, no matter what people saya movie series feels more universal. Trying to replace the original cast, especially in a franchise that’s already so divided, is risky. Many fans are attached to their nostalgia and won’t be happy, especially when legendary actors like Alan Rickman, a true monument of cinema, were part of the originals. Honestly, it feels impossible, and I think it’ll fail, especially with the season dropping two years later due to post-production and actor schedules.

I don’t like the man that much but I will say I agree with him when he says that she’s a queen.
And it’s a pretty good picture!
I saw somewhere where people were arguing if it was a new picture or not I just think it’s an older picture and he’s advertising his photography skills.

Ahhh the show..
I wish they would come up with something else because the Harry Potter universe is so big they could’ve continued on with something else instead of just doing a remake.
I feel like a remake is way too soon!
I would’ve loved if they’ve dug further into the marauders or Hogwarts life when Harry’s parents were there.
But just wait until one of the new actors decides to disagree with something the author doesn’t agree with, and then she shuts them out too. Oh boy!!

The Harry Potter fandom is truly absurd. They hate Hermione stole the spotlight from the boys in the movies, so they blame Emma and the writers. They’re satisfied with the TV series’ girl because she better fits the book's description, and since she's not as pretty as Emma, ​​she won't steal the spotlight.

I am not Eden, but I am looking forward to the series - at least at the beginning. I thought the movies with the trio were wonderful, and I think the series can also be excellent if the creators stay faithful to the source material. That is why people want to see the films, because J.K. Rowling created a wonderful world with much more potential. I think they should remain close to the descriptions in the books because these presentations of a character, in terms of appearance and character, fit what is written in the book. Every description in her books is a step into the widening of the plot. I have decided that if the movies begin to get into woke themes - whatever they may be - I will not continue watching. I am interested in seeing the author's piece of literature stay true to the material. I agree that the first movies are great, but a new generation is coming along. Young people want to see their generation. In my day, I could care less about Spencer Tracey or a Marlon Brando or even a Brad Pitt.

Photo looks like it’s from the group bday trip to Rwanda a few years ago to see the gorillas.

“They” being a tiny amount of people… Emma is beloved by the vast majority of HP fans. The goodwill towards her is generally off the scale.

As always, Emma looks just wonderful in this photo. I love her with every fiber of my heart.

I think I feel like the majority of fans towards the new series, in that I’m not hostile to it, but I feel very underwhelmed at numerous aspects of it and am therefore pretty indifferent.
I’m sure the tv show will do alright, it’s following a very set format. It’s not like a film where they need to make lots of creative decisions and need a good box office. They’d have to mess it up catastrophically.
But decent won’t be enough to me. I’ll stick with the films.
The best of luck to the kids though, I very much hope that they come through it all ok.

I certainly don’t think WB are looking to replace the actors or the films at all, they still want to make money from them. JK likely does, but I think WB have just run out of original ideas and want some content for their streaming service. They also learned the wrong lesson from the failure of beasts. Beasts failed because it was bad and JK can’t write scripts - Not because people only care about the original characters and story. People just want good shows and films and they appreciate original stuff more if anything. But WB are being cowardly.

The adult cast for one is massively massively underwhelming. Also I thought they did a really good job cutting superfluous things from the books to get the movies. No casual fan is about to watch 10 hours to get what is mostly filler so any idea that they’d replace the movies is madness. At Christmas people will stick to the movies. And to me the filler certainly isn’t worth the absolute millions that they’ll have to spend each episode. They should spend the money on creating something something new. At least the “new” Spider-Man is a re-imagining. This isn’t needed. But as above I wish the children super well!

They are using the same sets and costumes. Like why bother?? And Nick Frost, god bless him, is no Robbie Coltrane. But anyho Em looks terrific in the pic!!!

Photo with significant cleavage and presumably referring to her as a Queen.
All that's missing is his Jay Shetty voodoo doll.

He was posting loads of photo portraits he’s taken of people. I know you’re joking, but some people will take this out of context.

Not sure what there is to dislike about Hassan. He seems to just be her friend? At worst, an entourage hanger-on. There are way worse parasites that glom onto celebirties.

Anyway the new HP series look horrible and will fail within a few years. It's a cheap streaming production, absolutely won't stay on schedule, and will damage those kids' lives and careers badly. WB is a failing studio being bounced from owner to owner, and this is a cash grab to juice their value for Paramount, not the labor of love David Heyman's original production was.

For Joy Killer Robot, it's absolutely about replacing the original trio. I don;'t know how much influence she has on the production, but that is her primary motivation.

If you do watch this series, you gotta at least admit to yourself that it's cool with you if Rowling uses the money you give her to hurt trans people.
