I mean… all her bullshit aside anyway; It’s too soon for a Harry Potter remake.
I still can't wrap my head around who this is meant to be for. Fans that are old enough to have grown up with the original series are never going to like this and fans that are younger will still have seen the old series. It's not like it's so old it's unwatchable.
I don't understand how anybody in an executive position thought this was a good idea, especially because there is loads of stuff you could make a show about in the wizarding world universe (cough marauders cough).
It’s meant for the people hoping to make money off of it. Just like the LOTR series.
The book fans who want a more book accurate take?
Well, there's the books.
Not everything needs to be turned into a video format.
90s kids will hate to hear this but it's actually been 38 years since the first movie debuted. Wild huh
It's been 24 years since the first movie was released and 28 years since the first book was released.
Wrong math aside, it doesn’t matter how old a movie/s are as long as they have aged well. Harry Potter movies are perfectly serviceable even with some questionable cgi because the music and general cinematography are fantastic.
Is it?
I can't say I have ever liked the films, so maybe they will produce something better.
I would say yes.
The amount of media coverage and fandom the series got pretty much immortalized the actors within their roles. Animated stuff, fine. But live-action, not for the next quarter-century, at least.
Aside from that. We need more new stories, ideas, and tales; not just rebooted/regurgitated slop, made just to bleed a successful franchise dry.
I agree with your last point, but is seems to me that people are enchanted with this setting and would really like to revisit Hogwarts. So I would say I disagree with you on that it is not soon enough.
