Harry Potter series: HBO confirms one major difference from the films

[Redaktion]

With the new Harry Potter series, HBO appears to be taking exactly the approach many fans have been hoping for. Instead of modernizing the world, the adaptation is leaning into an authentic 90s setting – a clear distinction from the Warner Bros. films.

Two words: Black. Snape.

In the second book/ movie only Harry and Ron were in the flying car.  No Hermione.

Cool. They managed to follow the books on this. Shame they uttely failed in other aspects. Black Snape which is the most idiotic choice when you know the character. Makes you wonder how much of their own progressive sensibilities they inserted that we are all tired of.

They're not sticking to the source material at all. Black Snape

If you accept White Jesus from the Middle East 2000 years ago, you should have NO PROBLEM with Black Snape!  Get over it, snow flake!

[Mister Pink]

Marius... How much did they pay you for this drooling, clunking word salad of an article? Or is it AI and you were just the dude putting in some prompts? 100% they drop the ball on this so hard it not only comes out on the other side of world but ends up orbiting Neptune before it slows down.

So will they also return the non-wokeness of the period where films never tried to cast a pink whale as blue snail?

Snape dogg seems like a fair departure from the books. Also, as much as I like Nick Frost, he looks like Hagrid on ozempic. In fact, the whole production kind of looks like they are just poorly cosplaying the movies. Still, I've only seen the trailer. Maybe the show will surprise me, but I'm not hopeful...
