The Harry Potter movies will always be remembered fondly, but they weren't perfect. Now, the possible TV series could fix all their old mistakes.
Warner Bros is in talks about a Harry Potter TV series remake, and it would have the opportunity to correct some of the biggest mistakes made by the original movies. The films are iconic and beloved, but several features of the Harry Potter books were altered or left out to fit the shorter format better—or to add a dramatic flair for the screen. This meant that the flavor of Harry's story wasn't quite the same from one to the other.
The Harry Potter Movies Shouldn’t Have Changed James & Lily Potter’s Ages After binging the Harry Potter movies again and again, it's easy to forget that the actors that played James and Lily Potter did not appropriately reflect the characters' canon ages when they died. In the books, Harry's parents were only 21 when Lord Voldemort murdered them.
Harry’s Personality Was Overly Simplified In The Harry Potter Movies Daniel Radcliffe was perfect for the titular role in Harry Potter, and the TV remake would have its work cut out for it trying to replace him. However, there are several ways that the character itself could be improved. Harry is sarcastic and quick-witted in the books, especially when it comes to adults like the Dursleys, Severus Snape, and Dolores Umbridge.
The Harry Potter Movies Missed The Day To Day Hogwarts Experience One of the most magical aspects of the Harry Potter series is Hogwarts. The castle is basically a physical representation of magic itself, and fans have long dreamed of attending for real. Of course, the movies' beautiful set contributed to this, but they missed something special that the books often focused on—the casual day-to-day experience.
