I'm a Harry Potter fan myself, and frankly, I don't think this Harry Potter series will be any different than the movies. The movies suck.
Oh really have you read the books?

Yep. From Philosopher's Stone to Deathly Hallows.

I know the books like the back of my hand.

I can't believe we are getting to the highest peak of human and tech advancement yet media literacy is this low.......... WOW

Personally I don't really give AF about their LGTV thing, as long it's a side quest and doesn't affect the story that much.

Now they've made it the centre of the story, the father is dead, so no father figure anymore, Ellie that isn't cool headed or even have sense ,is now the person that wants to raise a child. Dina is way more sensible and intelligent than Ellie, if Jesse was still around, that child would have a semblance of a home

What am I even rambling on about, show wey dem go cancel. Except they have plenty cash to burn.

JK Rowling is simply against trans, not the entire LGTV. I know they'll include that thing, one way or the other
they can even make Harry Potter gay, since he has no gf in the movies.

Harry had a girlfriend, who later became his wife, however, I won't be shocked if they take that direction. It's best not to get too invested in a project, until it's finally out

The movies were not bad - but if you were to compare it to the books - then they're bad. But if they are going to follow the same plot points as the books and be faithful to the adaptations it will definitely be a great show no matter the casting. You should know that the show would do justice to Harry Potter than the movie because they've a lot more time to do that

you guys have the dumbest ideas. How in the fcking world will they make any of the three MAIN characters something they're not in the books. If you know anything about screenwriting, you'd know they can't change any character traits of main characters except it's reviving a show and not rebooting it. The three characters will be exactly how they are in the books or they'll be mildly their traits or over-the-top with their traits, they can't be something else.
Plus I have said this already- the show-runner, directors and writers of the show are not new young folks who want to be too creative - it's HBO!!! not Netflix. this directors are the best in the business. I'm more optimistic than pessimistic, it's Warner Bros we're talking about here not Disney

I don't expect them to make the characters different, if they do however, it won't surprise me. I haven't read House of the Dragons books, but I'm very sure Rhaenyrea isn't bisexual and yet the show made it so.
HBO does not prioritise inclusiveness as much as Disney, but they do it nonetheless.

Your self proclaimed hyper fanaticism with the Harry Potter lore has probably blinded you from discerning your fantasies from logic, ever since this show was announced, to a damn near annoying condescending level tbh.

It's not like you have the screenwriter on speed dial or have a PhD in scriptwriting...you are just in the dark, as we all are, concerning what they are gonna do with the characters. It's not like they haven't changed traits of major characters in adaptations before and considering the times we are in, all bets are off the table.

You have such a high hopes for the prod team, when one of the writers openly claimed, he wasn't arsed to read the books!

Not saying you shouldn't be bubbly about one of your favourite franchises as you claim, but still open your eyes to logic and the signs of the times.

Lol, you people saying HBO would cancel that show sounds funny to me.

Their biggest show presently? They'll cancel and what next? Despite the drop in viewership for the finale, they'll simply go back to the drawing board and see what works. They won't drop one of their biggest and most important show just cause a few episodes didn't sit well with the fans.

If this was one niche show, y'all are talking about, you might be right. But as it is, I ain't seeing that.

If they go back to the drawing board to make things right, fine by me.

The season 2 went downhill after the masterpiece of Episode 2. Fingers crossed for the next season.

Thank you for this! People went mad when they heard that one of the writers doesn't even care to read the books. Those are the people that'll infuse craziness into the show.

That episode is what made me finish season 2, if not for it, I would have abandoned it. Spent ages watching the remaining episodes, it was boring as fvck and tiring as Hell, we especially having had to listen to that brash, impulsive, confused Ellie, who thinks the world revolves around her (well it kinda does). Lol.

I hope they focus more on the infected, and how they're evolving, especially seeing how the fungi can use humans as agents to make the infection airborne. If any of these aren't in Season 3, then that's it for me.

Chief, Wheel of Time was highly rated despite fans looking forward to the 3rd season, it was cancelled.

Surprisingly, both almost have budgets, so if the fans keep turning away from it, from a business point they will have to cancel.

If they can revive it, I will be most happy, cos so many parts to explore and they took the 'boringest' path.

*4/10. The is show was gutter quality.

The first few episodes were ok, but they just veered off, and started mixing plots from other shows and movies diluted with unwanted melodrama with the hopes of getting a S2...and they even tried a last minute hail mary shock value, with one nonsense reveal by the end, but i wasn't moved, as i had already caught on to their BS by then.

Proper dustbin show 🗑️


Such exquisite violence.

I heartily approve.

And the Velaryons aren't black either but y'all won't dogshit on that because the term "woke" means LGTV in your mind. Let's just call this what it is, y'all don't want them queers in any type of content, I get it rather than hiding under the shade of "hyperinclusivity"

As in, because of a steep drop in viewership in one of their highest rated shows? They should BFR when even worse shows with terrible ratings get renewed like crazy. Sometimes it's best to live people to wallow in their ignorance, it's quite funny that way

Now they've made it the centre of the story, the father is dead, so no father figure anymore, Ellie that isn't cool headed or even have sense ,is now the person that wants to raise a child. Dina is way more sensible and intelligent than Ellie, if Jesse was still around, that child would have a semblance of a home

What am I even rambling on about, show wey dem go cancel. Except they have plenty cash to burn.
Yes you do, you just know you can't crap on that because your beef is with naughty dog not HBO for making the character the L word so you are looking for anything related to that and that line that was clearly a joke is so why not use that as an excuse in lack of viewership? Feel free to call me the G word because e no dey una way

If the person I quoted wasn't talking about the 3 main characters, I definitely would have mentioned the Velaryons
