Looks good, I'm a tad disappointed in the more muted color palette (the train station imo should have a much warmer feel) but outside of that, I don't think you could ask for much more than this.

I mean, it's looks good. The young cast looks pretty spot-on. Just still can't understand why this is being done (well, I know why - money). The movies were well-done, pretty universally well-liked, and something that people re-watch on a regular basis. This isn't like Percy Jackson where the movies were pretty much a mess. Maybe another 15-20 years down the road it would feel like the story needed to be told again?

In fairness, we are 25yrs from the start of those movies. I feel like that's an acceptable time for remakes, and this is in another format, so it isn't even challenging those films directly.

My kids just got in to HP a few months ago and rewatching the movies I'm like, yep they're dead, he's dead, he's dead, she's dead, dead, dead ,dead.

Yeah, of the ones who had more than a single appearance... Snape, Hagrid, McGonagall, both Dumbledores are no longer with us.

We still have Filch, Flitwick, Slughorn, Mad-Eye, Lupin, and Sprout.

And the main kids are all in their mid-thirties or pushing forty.

I do think the later movies especially speedran through a lot of the content (even with expanding it to more than one movie per book) but it's not clear to me that they'd take their time with this one considering they aren't even going to have a season per year and the kids are aging.

Looks like there will be a new Ginny Weasley.

‘Harry Potter’ HBO Series to Recast Ginny Weasley in Season 2 as Child Actor Exits Due to ‘Unforeseen Circumstances’

HBO‘s “Harry Potter” series is set to conjure up a new Ginny Weasley after child actor Gracie Cochrane exited the role.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances Gracie has made the challenging decision to step away from her role as Ginny Weasley in the HBO ‘Harry Potter’ series after Season 1,” Cochrane and her family said in a joint statement. “Her time as part of the ‘Harry Potter’ world has been truly wonderful, and she is deeply grateful to Lucy Bevan and the entire production team for creating such an unforgettable experience. Gracie is very excited about the opportunities her future holds.”

A rep for HBO said: “We support Gracie Cochrane and her family’s decision not to return for the next season of HBO’s Harry Potter series, and we are grateful for her work on season one of the show. We wish Gracie and her family the best.”
