'The Harry Potter movies will forever be cherished as some of the finest fantasy films ever made and especially the cast remembered as one of the best ensembles. But JK_Rowling Rowling deserves another bite at the apple.' -TianaTheFirst
In a landmark decision from the new conglomerate of Warner Bros. Discovery, the bestselling book series of all time is getting a second shot on camera. The Harry Potter saga, which Warner Bros. previously produced into the fourth-highest-grossing film series, will become a “faithful” decadelong series for HBO Max .
Not that Rowling’s detractors — who, recall, hate her because she doesn’t want convicted rapists in women’s rape shelters — care about the substance of their objections. But Rowling, the first author alive to become a billionaire from her craft, deserves a second chance at adapting her series if only because we, the audience, will absolutely adore it.
It’s not as though the original film series wasn’t near perfectly cast, acted, and edited, but rather, audiences ached to dig a little deeper and a little wilder. Some may consider matching the phenomenal three actors at the center of the film series like catching lighting in a bottle, but the best stories in the English language are meant to transcend time and the faces behind legendary characters.
The original films also skimp over the flashback Pensieve scenes, which not only teach Harry about his parents but also forewarn the audience about whether or not Snape is really a villain. Take a chapter from the fifth book that is barely depicted in the movie. In “Snape’s Worst Memory,” Harry views Snape’s memory of Harry’s father, James, bullying him back in high school and then Snape calling Harry’s mother, Lily, a “mudblood.
