Harry Potter: The TV Series

Do you think they will ever be able to match or even exceed the movies?

I am reserving judgement.

Part of me thinks it's just plain too early to remake something so iconic.

But I'm also a huge fan of the books, so part of me is looking forward to seeing the smaller scenes that, by necessity, get left out when you make a standard-length movie.

Not a fan of the books or original movies so my bar is set pretty low. I doubt I will see the new version since I don’t have satellite, cable, or streaming services.

I don’t think it’s too soon though. This is more like a miniseries for each book, so they would be able to follow the books in more detail than the movies did. It’s kind of like trying to compare the Pride and Prejudice miniseries from 1995 with the film from 2005. Both were good, but the miniseries was more faithful to the book because there was more time to go into detail. A lot will depend on casting and directorial choices.

This is how we feel. We really love the books & movies, so I'm thinking that we will give the TV show a fair chance. I'm hoping it's good.

Same here.
