Those kids will be old as fuck and they'll need to recast another Dumbledore again
Soillennials have fuck all going for them so they don't mind waiting. They can simply replace their pet child in between seasons studio suits all know this
>>218976679>Soillennials have fuck all going for them so they don't mind waitinWe don't want this shit, we already have Harry Potter at home and it's way better.
>>218976554There won't be more than two seasons then. I don't think it'll be that big a hit, and if the public gets tired of waiting, they'll end up at the bottom of the rankings.
>>218976679why are zoomers always instigating, bros?
>>218977362immense jealousy, they know only shit, they are incredibly mad that we were the last generation that had nice things
>>218976554Fucking What?
>>218976554Standard practice for HBO now not sure why anybody would be surprised, or why theyd cast an 80 year old as Dumbledore when he will almost certainly die before his character
>>218976554HBO shat out the entire ASoIaF adaptation in less than a decade and each of those books is as long the first 4 HP books combined, the fuck happened to these clowns.
>>218977456Don't fein surprise, brother. Me? I'm just waiting for puberty to smash into these fucking brats. Without a prime Emma Watson to carry them, it's gonna get real ugly, real quick.
>>218976554>multiple years between seasonsShit's gonna last only one season. A lot of people will watch the first episode just out of curiosity, you'll see memes of it most likely, then they'll move on.
>>218978080Ah man, don't delude yourself. Promises were already made. Deals already done. 3 seasons at least. And if you doubt it, go check out the new season of Rings of Power and Starfleet Academy.
>>218978150I'm betting on this going the distance regardless of reception, if only to keep the brand something resembling relevant.
>>218978323You're crazy. I like you, but you're crazy.How many seasons would it take to do every book?
>>218978590I bet they do 1 season per bookBooks 5 - 7 are thick though, so depending on how goo the show goes, they could split it into multiple partsFor one I'd love if in Book 7 they actually made each horocrux take an equal amount of time, instead of spending half the show on 1 horocrux then speedrunning the rest, like the book did
>>218978150>go check out Starfleet Academy.How do we tell him?
Oh nooo
>>218978697>Starfleet AcademyYes they're cancelled. But they still have an entire Season 2 to be released next year. Or look at Malcolm In The Middle, rebooted now with an irl tranny child. That'll flop and get another season too.
>>218976554whats so hard about adapting harry potterwhen theres a book series and 7 well made movies
>>218978666Actually it's the other way round, ten 45 to 50 minute episodes is bit over seven and a half hours which really should be more than enough for the later books, it's the first three which are the problem. Even if they go down to 8 episodes a season they're still trying to get 6+ hours out of ~250 page books. Either they need to write so much new stuff that it might outweigh the actual book content or they need to pace everything glacially which probably won't go over well with actual children.
>>218976554I mean at that point I don't see the point in doing it at all. Like the original had people literally growing up with the films and books, and while this would never be as successful, they at least need to keep up the pace to be worth watching.
>>218976554Multiple years?How old is potters actor right now?
>>218976554How does anyone take episodic content seriously lmao
>>218979926You might be right.The movies from 4 and onwards had a sharp decline in quality
>>218981225Lefty sickos are already starting goon threads for nu-Ron on /tv/Had they made Hermoine hot, I don't think anyone would be wanting to fuck Ron instead.
>>218983519for the last time his name is Rom Weesley. get it right. and he's not ginger he's a white CIS male with homosexual just for Harry
>>218976554>>218981310>HBO and the creator of Breaking Bad cant even film their shows annually, back to back anymoreok what the hell is really going on?
>>218979926This isn't made for children
>>218977691Standard practise for all streaming services. The budgets arent there and theres a glut of projects that many of the services already dropped.
>>218983639Laziness
>>218981310>seriouslyIt's entertainment, I don't take any of it seriously, nor do I take the people who make it seriously.
>Networks used to make 22-24 episodes seasons every year>Now they struggle to make 8-13 episode seasons every 2-3 yearspathetic
>>218976554Its why they should've gone with Hugh Bonneville for Dumbledore
>>218984106Not to mention those 8-13 episodes are absolutely packed with filler and rarely does it feel like anything fucking happens in shows anymore. Plus the cinematography is far uglier. Television is in a really pathetic state.
>>218976554> Harry and Ron, season 3....
>>218976679They have a war to attend to, in case you didn't notice. That's why they will take years between seasons, they don't want to have low viewership
>>218976554why? hollywood jews have really dropped the ball on quality *and* quantity.
>>218976554Let's wait multiple years because...>all the books are out>an entire movie series is out>but let's wait>when the story revolves around a group of characters that grows in real time, for seven years of storiesLol, lmao. This shit will crash harder than rings of power
This will last 2-3 seasons max. It will be just like rings of power and the merchandise sails will be terrible. Like people will go out of their way at theme parks to buy “classic” potter merch. This honestly is one of the dumbest decisions ever made, it’s just brand murder. It won’t add any new fans, it won’t increase subs to hbo and it won’t do well in merch. All it does is pollute older potter stuff and stain the franchise. Gf watched the trailer next to me so I only listened to it and the music alone was so bad when potter has iconic music. It sounded like the force awakens trailer.
>>218976554Why does the production for these shows take so long now?
>>218994117Show are mostly money laundering operations nowadays.
>>218989148Its because HOTD is on the opposite years, and presumably they will replace that with something else when it ends, its probably part of a strategy to keep lazy subs I guess, if there is always something vageuoy around the corner people get complacent and wait for it instead of cancelling
>>218981310>>218976554This is what happens when every single studio imports their CGI to India.India can only do the CGI for so many projects.
>>218983639See>>218995275
>>218976554it would be crazy if they recast the kids each season, they're going to age out so fast. this is the dumbest project of all time.
>>218976554This wouldn’t be a problem if J. K. Rowling didn’t have an autistic hatred of animation.A cartoon series could have just hired adult voice actors doing kid voices.
>>218976679geg
>>218989148>>218994283>>218976554they changed the way they film shit. in the 90s shit was filmed while the show as in the middle of airinggame of thrones shot a whole season before the first episode aired and they shot like 10 or 12 hours a day 6 days a week.I think house of dragons only shoots like 4 days a week and kids have even more limited hours
>>218994283HotD is only going to run for four seasons. IDK if they have another GoT spinoff loaded in the chamber or if HBO wants to give the franchise a break.
>>218976859No-one's forcing you to watch it, you entitled faggot
>>218977362They are all just seething incels, statistically.
>>218976554Harry Potter was gay then and it's gay now
>>218997446That sounds fucking terrible, no wonder that's not happening
>>218976554If the t.v. show hasn't done it already, they should build sets on stage or actually build the Hogwarts school and shoot there every year. If the reimagined Battlestar Galactica series can do that and still look cinematic, most of the time, with good lighting, then the Harry Potter series can do the same thing.Also, if some of the cast doesn't work out, they can always recast for the next season.
>>218976554It's a horrible idea for a series which requires so many child actors> season 1... they're all 10> season 2 ... they're all 20> season 3 ... they're 30, still waiting to get out of hogwarts
>>218976679kek they fucking wishmost of them are going to die from ass cancer before its even close to being finished
Why the fuck do they keep doing this shit? The Stranger Things "kids" were all in their mid to late 20s by the time the show ended because they were taking so fucking long to make each season even though the characters were supposed to be high schoolers still. The kid from the Lost in Space remake had a massive growth spurt between seasons so he looked like a grown-ass man still acting like a little shit kid. It doesn't fucking work.
Why even make this in the first place? Who is this even for? The movies are right there.
>>218994047Can't buy "classic' Potter merch when it's not available. Disney did the same thing in Star Wars land at their parks. Aside from the really expensive collector's shit that was hundreds of dollars, the only things you could buy in the park were sequel and Filonishit-related.
>>218998857Because this IP is stagnant as fuck and doing something new and different with it sounds genererally like a good idea
>>218998001What part of his post implies hes going watch this thrash you absolute mong but my all means keep shilling, hope they’re paying you well
>>218998857this >>218998986 plus suits were afraid any HP project would be heavily boycotted because Rowling hates the troons but Hogwarts Legacy finally proved to them no one gives a shit.
>>218976554>8 epicodes >2 yearsPathetic
>>218999128The part where he said "we don't want this shit", as if he's forced to engage and somehow can't just ignore it wholesale and stick to the (increasingly less appealing) movies. I'm also not sorry I made your boyfriend upset enough that you felt the need to argue on his behalf
>>218979926Books are not like scrips at all, the best book for a movie adaptation is a short story
>>218976554Best case scenario>Season 1 happens>It's actually pretty decent>new fans of of the franchise decide to watch the movies>"Oh shit, these are pretty damn good">Season 2 finally comes out>it's very obviously not as good as the movies>fan interest in the new series drops durring hiatus>season 3 comes out>overall quality is dropping, even compared to it's own earlier seasons>fans start to resent being strung along for a lame adaptation>viewership drops off from one episode to the next>season 4 viewer numbers are in the toilet, and the quality has gone to shit>season 5 is literally just a laughing stock, and put into soft-cancelation as they just silently don't start the next one
>>2189765547 seasons3 years per21 years of this shit?Kek. Calling it canceled after season 3
>>218976554What a trainwreck this is turning out to be.
>>218976554After Val Kilmer came back with AI, im sure John Lothgow probably made a similar deal.
>>218976554>shoot digital>edit digital>zero practical effectshow was it possible to do 24 episodes a year until recently, but now it takes three years to do 8?
>>219002957And before email and texting too. Back then when people still made 20+ episodes of something a year, all the conversations and correspondence had to be done by phone calls or snail mailif there was an issue with the budget or financing, they had to wait until the producers were in their office to have that conversation. All the contracts and paperwork had to sent by mail, or hand delivered by some intern.
>>219002957Because it's not required anymore. Now 8 episodes every three years is standard.
>>218998917Disney is trying to walk that back in the parks, last I heard.
>>218976554Just animate it then, you stupid fucks.
>>218999290>served cake you didnt order>say "we dont want this cake">you somehow come to the conclusion that he will still sample the cake
here's an idea: SKIP years. Obviously you need Year 1. No need for Year 2. Give Year 3. COMBINE Year 4 and 5. Rewrite 6 to be more a short anime. And 7 can be 5 seasons long.
>>218976554It's gonna get cancelled by season 3
>>219007077Mfw i'm at the terrible ideas competition and this anon is there
>>219007077>a remake worse than the originals well it's certainly in line with the new theme
>>218976554Just like the movies did
Isn't the theory that you need comfy content in shitty times (like invincble, filled with nothing but these light, clear colors)?>picrelatedWhy are they making the show dark, grim, and dystopian from episode one?Will an audience of depressed millennials and confused gen alpha kids want to watch a LITERAL dark gritty show while the economy etc tanks?
>>218983639The COVID Pandemic from 2020-2022 and the strikes in 2023 significantly reduced the output of major studios' TV shows. Things are never going back to the way they were. Movies and TV are a lingering and almost-dead medium now, and the smart people will go back to books and music where they always belonged, and the retards will go into video games and VR.
>>219007421>Why are they making the show dark, grim, and dystopian from episode one?They only remember the last couple of movies and don't remember the series started off warm, light, and comfy.
>>218981310You know who doesn't have this problem
>>218998001>defending temu potterI don't believe a person like you exists unless you get paid for it
>>219002957because it was totally different business practice. look up syndication. it's not really viable in streaming age.also if there's let's say 3 year gap between seasons. that doesn't mean that the season is in active development that whole time.
>>219007421>like invinciblethey turned the protagonist's hot and caring blonde gf into a bitchy ugly negress, not comfy
i said before, zas announced this project as a stock market ploy before the sale. I dont see more then two seasons here. If you ask most millenials, HP series takes as signficant nose dive once the kids start wearing street clothes and older. Not too mention you have the bran stark risk where one of this kids just ages awkwardly on screen. These people know how to make shows, no way this is a full faith effort to readapt
>>219002957Because it used to be 30 minutes for shit load of commercials and 30 minutes for the actual content that they can stretch out to infinity until rating goes down.
>>219011003youre both right, but the cost to feed a staff and retain them in california is absurd compared to the sitcom eras
