All you fucking had to do was make an animated adaptation instead you dumbasses. Literal infinite money if you had made some anime-esque cartoon of Harry Potter which would have way more appeal especially with how mainstream animeshit is now. It's already been done in live action a TV version is just going to look worse in every aspect by comparison, and you have to deal with actors growing up to potentially look uglier and harder to replace if something happens than replacing some dub actor working for pennies. The bigwigs and JK are fucking retarded.
>>215685174All they had to do was not spend the money on this project at all and adapt something else.Better still they could've made something new up entirely.
>>215685174is Hermione the only race swap? Is that a personal message from JK to Emma?
>>215685419Snape
>>215685443oh yeah, duh, how tf did I miss that
>>215685174It feels weirdly on brand for Rowling's strain of social neoliberalism to racially tokenise the Snape role over all the others
>>215685419I'm pretty sure the Hermoinie actress is just a swarthy Mediterranean
>>215685174This new adaptation has the potential to annihilate the films, and I couldn't be more excited.
>>215685506I guess she could pass for Welsh
>>215685489Its really weird. Blacks are 3% of the UKs population but something like 20% of leading BBC characters. South Asians are 20% of Londons population by 3% of BBCs leading characters. This isn't an equality thing, its pure fashion.
>>215685174>Nick Frost as HagridNo way he'll match the original but he could be good
>>215685174Ah I thought they had decided not to cast the African to play Snape, foh shame.
>>215685174Who cares about any of this, the og movies can't be outdone by anything, imperfect as they were, those characters have been emodied by those actors, anything else after them is going to be a degeneration.
>>215685443>Snape More like professor Ape
Hagrid should've been a black powerlifter
>falls in love with girl>friendzoned.jpg>girl leaves to get fucked by chad>gets so mad that he becomes a fascist>remains a seething incel for life>is not turned into a blackBravo JK, truly ahead of her time. I for one did not get filtered by this clever messaging and I'm excited and looking forward to this artistic adaptation. Let the buck breaking begin.
>>215685174I can already tell that new actor won't capture the "magic" (ironic I know) of uncle Vernon's rancid suburban assholery and I for one am quite vexed by this fact.

>>215689412Here's Uncle Vernon havng his day ruined by celebrating Wizards in the 80s.
>>215689412>>215689482Here's Uncle Uncle Vernon taking his family into hiding to escape the Hogwarts letters in the 90s
>Hermione is brownIs Draco still going to call her mudblood?
>>215689453>REEEEE only poojeets are bothered by DEI niggers Take your meds
>>215689482>>215689499Why. Fucking. Live.
>>215689506>Is Draco still going to call her mudblood?I can't wait
>>215685174Dumbledore, Hagrid, Filch, Malfoy... I cant see the new actors being better but i could see a lateral move that would be acceptable.Snape, McGonagail, Molly Weasley, Vernon Dursley... completely shit tier.They other adult actors, we will see.They child actors I do not want to comment on cause it just doesn't seem fair to them but for the most of them I am doubtful.going to be a sad sad show i think.
>casting before the acknowledgement of nog fatigueits doomed to fail
>>215689723Yeah... I mean HP is for kids man, I already grew up with that shit, I'm sure kids will enjoy it for what it is because they're kids, they're retarded, it's whatever. There's just something inherently depressing in the thought that they're growing up in a culture that very literally is a shadow of something that was much greater and can never emulate even though it is trying all the time. They'll literally be the children of slop. Only time will tell if new generations will become jaded before they hit 20 or will truly be so braindead that they will love this garbage. Both possibilities are fucking sad.
>>215690071i wonder if the current children growing up are the last to have it good(ish) and the next generation that started this year (the Beta generation) will be stuck with complete slop and AI slop
when are they gonna remake lord of the rings
They shoulda got the Scott Pilgrim guy Brian Lee O'Malley to write them an anime, he'd be perfect
>>215685174not black enough
I like them, at least the main characters are not Jewish this time.
>>215685174Alessia Leoni is the only upgrade.Where's the Weasley father? Give it to Robert Webb
>>215690243doesn't need remaking and the tv show proves they'd only ruin it
>>215685174I think a new storyline might work better. If Rowling wants to expand her "Wizarding World" branding, Harry can't be the only protagonist. We need more side stories and shit. The video game is a start. Cursed Child was shit for the lore, but easily skipped if they focus on wholly new characters, with maybe one or two returning to pass the torch. Most of the kids burned their bridges, but Felton is still playing Malfoy, he can return to mentor/challenge the new protagonist.
>>215685174Damn, Molly and Petunia are proper MILFs now.McGonagall potentially a GMILF.Good job by the casting director.
>>215685174They haven't replaced the gingers with niggers but they decided to replace one of the most iconic character with a niggerWhy?
>>215690699>Robert WebbI don't think they could. Sadly Webb is on borrowed time after his heart attacks, he had to pull out of Strictly Come Dancing partway though because his Rasputin Dance nearly killed him. With a strenuous acting job like playing Mr Weasley, who has a lot of running around in later novels, it might pop his fragile heart for good. When a beloved actor dies onset its bad publicity and will result in production delays while it is recast. This would mean very high insurance premiums.They won't be able to employ Webb as a result, which is sad. However, when one door closes another opens and that gives them the opportunity to employ Alan Carr.
>>215690071The hp movies really weren't that good after the first couple. Also ratcliff being a manlet ruined the universe. Like always the books are where the sovl is.
>>215689314audible klok, godspeed anon
>>215685174Hermione and SnapeYeahThis is going to bombWay too soon for remake shit anyway
>>215692282>The hp movies really weren't that good after the first coupleThey were ok, watched them all for the first time with someone this year, had only seen a couple before and had them sitting on a shelf. They were a decent time and I can see why they were liked. Considerably better than the books which were fucking awful after the first three (my kids had zero interest in it desu and preferred LOTR and Narnia and prequel star wars and clone wars)Why the fuck would I watch a remake though? No interest.
The casting is by by and large quite good
Is Nick Frost playing Hagrid as a Scot? Or is he doing his voice from Hot Fuzz perhaps?
>>215685174I'll wait until I see them in costume to see how I feel. Rigby looks okay as Uncle Vernon in the set photos. Snape casting is still a massive miss, still hoping that's a big misdirect.More importantly, I need to get a glimpse of the cinematography and how this is actually going to look. If there's any actual thought put in to the aesthetic of the series, it might at least be an easy watch. More likely it's going to be an overly saturated, washed out, digital mess with tons of shaky cam.
>>215691961Anyone after Rickman would've been a downgrade to Snape anyways, black or not. Doesn't really matter in the end.
wait, it's a reverse cuck story? the black man is cucked and bullied by 'arry's 'ad and 'arry is "my wife's son?" only he doesn't even get the wife lol
>>215685174not a single good casting choiceNick Frost and John Lithgow do not belong in Harry Potter
>>215692282>ratcliff being a manlet ruined Did it though? I think it kinda worked out personally. Him being small made it still seem like kids adventures even after they get older. I think i like it that way. I mean were you wanting him to turn into a 6’2” jacked giga chad waving a wand around? Whilst that image is giving me a chuckle I think it would ruin the aesthetic. Or am I wrong
>>215685174We could have killed anime by just outsourcing their animation production, this was a concern during the afro samurai years, at some point being about watching Otomo animate and that eas the end of it, as an animation fan, just like film fans know, is the author, not the genres
it will be 2020s era CGI slop with zero stakes because everything looks like a bad video game (but cost a billion dollars somehow)fact!
>>215690243probably soon, I don't know when does this become public domain but now that Christopher Tolkien is dead the remaining Sackville-Baggins Tolkien estate are likely to seek profit from it. They already greenlit the RoP bullshit, it'll probably go from there. After it becomes public domain lotr will probably be made into its own tv show and every bit of the rest of the books will be adapted into slop, and fanfiction will grow from there. I see it becoming a Marvel-tier TCU where it's an endless content slop mill.
>>215692282>Also ratcliff being a manlet ruined the universethis is a hilarious thing to sayhilarious that you bring up muh books were better because you should know that Harry is a manlet, so I don't know wtf you're talking about
>>215685174I think they're doing this so Harry can end up with Hermione, but what's the point anyway, might as well have cast Zendaya.
>>215694568mmmmm yummy yummy slop slop slop mmmm i love slop daddy please gimme more slop slop slop slop
>>215696367gr8 b8 m8 i r8 8/8
>>215685184They could have made the prequels of the houses, etc in animated version. Then people wouldn't be complaining about it
>>215696305mate, what?harry ends up being a tall chad like his dad by the later books
