Amph Gaming Diagon Alley: The Official Harry Potter Thread/Hogwarts Legacy

Because it's already happening (and what is happening has been facing obstacles), and most places aren't Disney and capable of putting out at least half a dozen shows/movies a year. Oversaturation, and bad press of JK Rowling, can also be playing a role. Wrap up Fantastic Beasts first, then do a Cursed Child movie maybe.

 

Voldermorth offspring !

 

Well, duh......

 

Ok so i have heard bad things about this fan fiction play and is about the OG's kids plus malfoy's and voldermorth's. I kinda want this so i can see it. Maybe We see voldermorth in flashbacks. Will this just be one movie with one last adventure of the OG gang. I'm intrested.

 

Fan fiction? It's by Rowling, so no, cannot be that.

By reputation though, there's plenty of other grounds to bomb it on.

 

I"d really love a Cursed Child movie, with some tweaks to the plot optional. The one problem is Rowling. Radcliffe won't even do it if she's involved, for example.

 

I think we might have a better chance for Harry Potter sequel movies than tv shows in my opinion.

 

If they make this movie, I don't want to see movie trio. I know is good business move and they can do marketing based on OT cast being back, blah blah but creative wise, it would just feel off to me. I think best thing would be to choose from broadway actors and maybe one or two well known actors for Snape recast or something. Oddly enough I don't feel the same way about the older cast members. Reading the book/script, I had no problem envisioning older cast members as their characters but for the life of me couldn't with Dan, Emma and Rupert. Even seeing them now as their adult selves, still can't see it. They still look the same to me more or less. Cursed child just feels like its own thing.

 

Give the Snape role to Tim Roth. He was originally going to play him, but he had to do Tim Burton's classic and memorable Planet of the Apes remake instead. He'd probably be truer to the book version. As great as Rickman was, Snape had a lot of explosive rage in the books.

 

Yeah but Cursed Child Snape is more mature and older wiser Snape than in the books.

 

I haven't read the script so i don't know mutch about it, but didn't Snape die, did they resurrect him?

 

Tim Roth is about the age that book Snape would be in Cursed Child.

And about the Golden Trio, I would personally wait another 8 years to film the CC film so that it is released 19 years after Deathly Hallows Part 2. That would make them about 40.

 

Spoiler

The plot involves time travel using the time turners so they go to alternate timelines. One of those timelines is one where Voldemort won, Harry death and Snape is older who is still teaching and secretly working with Ron/Hermione.[spoiler/]

 

for my IMDB page I want to do a 2011-2021 fancast of the series, for a nonexistent adaptation that captures the spirit and elements of the books far more than the movies did. Make them all more like the first two, or even more so.

Question: should I make it a film series like we have or should it be a TV show?



And about Snape in Cursed Child, I think he receives the Dementor’s kiss according to the Potter wiki.

 

About the whole read another book-
It’s pure straw man that Harry Potter fans haven’t read anything else, or that the series is where we get all our opinions/views. It’s just a series that we’ve freaking fallen in love with. The story appeals to me, as do the locations and characters and their dynamics. I love the world of Harry Potter and his is a journey I can root for.
It’s not something to grow out of like a phase, or a sign of immaturity or lack of intelligence that somebody is a fan of Harry Potter.


I am ****ing proud to be a Potterhead no matter who says it’s badly written or for young people.

 

Who the **** is saying that?

I've read the books, but Potter isn't my thing - but I have plenty of 'my things' to know the joy of something that you like, that you reread and rewatch over and over again. I'm rereading The Hobbit, a book I first read over 40 years ago and have read a dozen times since. Good on you for finding something to be passionate about enjoying.

The only valid reason someone should say to you 'read another book' is in the context of 'hey, since you like that, here's something else you might enjoy'.

 

Sorry, I just had a passionate burst.
Nothing at all against non-Potterheads.

Hope that didn’t come off the wrong way. The Hobbit is pretty good too.

 

Nah, Ferus - I was in total agreement with you. Just showing support as a fellow passionate person about book series, in a somewhat clumsy way.

 

You weren’t clumsy at all.


Also, for everyone, I’m not opposed to someone like Melissa Anelli becoming the Kathleen Kennedy/Dave Filoni/Jon Favreau of Harry Potter, replacing Rowling as the canon officiator.

 

That is such a horrifying post to read. I'm sorry.

 

Doesn’t have to be Melissa, but she seems to be an expert and fan of the Potter lore and would treat it well. I’d rather someone like her than WB

By all accounts, she doesn’t share Rowling’s negative social views. I could be mistaken about that though.

 

I don't personally ever want to witness anyone heading HP other than its creator.
Heck, I don't even like the idea of endless soulless spinoffs and IP exploitation that has become the norm for MCU/SW. That's just me though. People can't seemed to get enough of corporate IP fanfics.

 

Vanity Fair: Looks like we will get more of the Grindelwald (and Dumbledore I guess) backstory in FB3.

Total Film: Looks like they wrapped filming finally.

I also hope in this movie they address who is the master of the elder wand now. I believe it was Newt that disarmed (more or less) Grindelwald in FB. I don't remember if anyone disarmed Newt in FB2 (that tumblr post I linked to said Yusuf Kama diarmed both Newt and Tina in FB2). If that is the case than is Kama who is the master of the elder wand now.
The elder wand and how it changes allegiance has been made a bit messy in Deathly Hallow with Harry's little tussle with Draco meaning he won the elder wand. So I don't know or are these movies just going to ignore this and assume Grindelwald never lost the allegiance of the elder wand.

 

Looks like Aberforth has been cast in FB3.


Seriously though WB, time to release official news about FB3 (cause I need it).
