Dear HBO: Top 15 Things I Want in the Harry Potter Reboot (Sincerely a Potterhead) 

I want to see Harry and Ron procrastinate on their homework. I want to see sassy sarcastic Harry speak back to teachers and Malfoy. I want to see Ron be the first one of the trio to punch Malfoy. I want to see unhinged slacker Harry in all his glory 🥹

I feel like HBO should actually watch all the povs of the potterheads on social media cuz they have come up with so many amazing ideas. Morgan just completely truly understands this series and knows what we actually want to see

I want Neville’s everything. His parents background as Aurors, their kidnapping and torture, their confinement at St. Mungo’s. We need to see how overbearing Augusta Longbottom is, and how she rewards his bravery with his new wand after OotP. She wants her grandson to jump into the fight, and she does it herself when Voldy attacks Hogwarts.

They should also show the full and actual story about the Crouch family, how Barty Crouch Jr escaped prison etc. Also show St Mungo's scene, especially Neville's parents, that was such an emotional and powerful scene.

I would really like to see Dudley’s entire character arc, especially his goodbye to Harry in Deathly Hallows. The fact that they even shot the entire scene and yet still decided to cut it out makes me sooo angry

Fun fact. They bumped everyone’s age up in the movies because of Alan Rickman. They needed everyone to be roughly his age so it made sense as he was the only person offered the role of Snape. I know Rickman was in his 60s and Oldman in his 50s but it looked correct

I just want all 9 weasleys

I also want to see Neville's backstory with him visiting his parents in the hospital.

I just hope they would give some justice to Fleur, who, after Fenrir disfigured Bill, had one of the most badass lines in the whole serie that finally shuts Molly's mouth.

I want to see them develop Ginny's character. She seemed like an extra in the movies and when it showed her falling in love with Harry Potter it didn't seem natural.

Regulas deserves an entire episode, he was truely a hero, and its kills me to see how no one knew what he did and sacrificed especially Serius.

I want the scene when Harry basically has a nervous breakdown in Dumbledore's office after Sirius is killed. It was such a dramatic moment for Harry to blow up in Dumbledore's face the way he did after so much suffering his 5th year. The movie version of it was pitiful to me, just them two talking quietly.

One small thing that I think would make a big difference is how frightened most wizards are of hearing Voldemort’s name. We never really see anyone flinch when Harry says it in the movie, but almost every person in the books wince every time they hear it, and Ron is constantly asking Harry to stop saying the name

I want Percy’s arc . It was really heartbreaking watching him reject his mom

These are all not only 100% valid, but also 100% necessary. This series has the opportunity to give the book reading fans the chance to see what they read truly come to life

All in all, HBO has to include all heart breaking backstorys to win our hearts

a lot of people are mentioning the pivotal plot points and character developments - but i honestly just want to see more of hogwarts. Like, the regular hogwarts life. The classes, dynamics, teachers, courses, lunch periods and dinners - all of it. I feel like a lot of the lighthearted and casual moments were cut out in the movies to make more room for plot development, so I just want to see them be carefree kids. Because I feel like the more good moments there are, the more impactful the sad moments are, and there weren't all that many fun and happy moments in the movies as I would've liked

Getting the eye color uniform with Harry and Lily is a MUST! It is a key component of the entire plot of the series! Also, I want to see all of Fred and George’s antics. They add so much fun and humor to the series. I love when they make an entire area a swamp during Umbridge’s time as headmistress and Filch has to row students across to get to class.😂

JK actually tweeted that 50% of her reasoning to create a tv series was to have Peeves in it! :D

I want to see witches and wizards only wearing robes. In the movies, they defaulted to muggle clothing most of the time whereas in the books wizards don't even know how to wear trousers. I think if all characters were constantly in robes, it would also create a really stark visual difference from the movies.

1. More Quidditch matches 2. The Weasley is coming to pick up Harry from the Dursley’s in the Goblet of Fire. 3. The entirety of the Quidditch World Cup 4. Petunia and Dudley getting a redemption 5. More book accurate representations of the characters 6. The meeting between Cornelius Fudge and Muggle Prime Minister John Major, in the opening moments of The Half Blood Prince.

Honestly HBO should just hire you. You should be the person that fact checks every single detail and makes sure they don't leave out anything that is important to us fans.

I always wanted to see that girl talk Ginny had with Hermione at one point, where Ginny talked about her feelings for Harry and Hermione comforted her and advised her to be her own person. That's how Ginny became cool. That's the kind storytelling this show should emphasize on. The moments that were in the books but not the movies. AND the moments that weren't even in the books.

**It always chaffed my cheeks that , in the movie, they didn't have Dumbledore incapacitate Harry with a temporary spell in the tower behind the door before Snape killed him. He KNEW Harry would try to save him so he had to silence him. In the movie...Harry just stands there looking weak and stupid, not lifting a finger to help. The book version makes so much more sense. Hopefully HBO will correct that.

Yes I'd love to see of all this! Plus I want to see: - How Sirius was actually in the books, he was barely shown in the movies, and how he revealed himself to some trusted people in the 4th book after the tournament. - I'd like to see more Cedric scenes in throughout seasons 1-4 before he's murdered. I want to know his background a little more and become ridiculously emotionally attached to him to the point where even though I know he's going to die I'm hoping he doesn't and then be absolutely crushed when Harry returns from the graveyard with his body. I want scenes of him being the most Hufflepuffy person to exist and bonding with Harry. Him being slightly uncomfortable with how his father brags about him. maybe him even break down from his "perfect boy" act and showing how he's just trying his best. I don't know but I really like Cedric and I want to see more of him! - Harry giving his Triwizard Tournament winnings to Fred and George so that they can start their joke shop. - The howler Dumbledore sends the Dursleys when they were thinking of kicking Harry out after the Dementor incident. - Hermione's S.P.E.W. club - Ron and Hermione being prefects - Harry randomly finding, and dismissing, two Horcruxes before he even knows what they are (He finds Slytherin's locket while cleaning Grimmauld place in the 5th book and Ravenclaw's diadem while trying to hide his Potions book after attacking Draco in the Room of Requirement during the 6th book) - Mention how muggles can't see Hogwarts and how electronic devices don't work at the castle. - Nearly Headless Nick's deathday party. - The fact that Filch and Mrs. Figgs are squibs. - Rita Skeeter was an unregistered animagus, a beetle to be exact, and that's how she got all her information. Then I want to see the seen of Hermione threatening and catching her in a jar. - Fred and George leaving one of the Hogwarts corridors as a swamp while leaving school in defiance of Umbridge, and Flitwick keeping a small part of the swap in honor of them. - The Sorting Hat singing a new song every year before the sorting ceremony. - When boys try to enter the girls' dormitory, the entry stairs turn into a slide and whoosh them back down. - Harry's terrible date with Cho Chang at Madam Puddifoot's tea shop. - It wasn't Cho that betrayed the D.A. but her friend Marietta Edgecombe because she was afraid her involvement with the D.A. was threatening her mums job at the ministry. - How Harry was jealous of Dean, and how he and Ginny actually got together after the Quidditch match, and then how they broke up just after Dumbledore's funeral, but later get back together. - The fact that Hagrid's motorbike belonged to Sirius, who gave it to Hagrid the night that James and Lily died, just before going off to hunt Peter Pettigrew. - That Neville could've been the chosen one and not Harry. - Also the scene at St. Mungo's where the trio meets Neville's parents and learn what happened to them. - Rominonie's actual first kiss, which was in front of Harry, because Ron wanted to go back and save the house elves. - Percy turning his back on his family but having his redemption arc. - Molly shoving aside Fred and George to hig Percy when he comes back in the Deathly Hallows. Pretty sure this is the last time Molly interacts with Fred before he's killed so the fact that the last thing she did was shove him aside would leave her feeling terribly guilty - Molly and Sirius arguing and Molly saying that Harry is as good of a son to her as any of her other children - Molly and Bill showing up as Harry's family for the Tournament. - How Harry and Draco unofficially met in Diagon Alley and then officially met of the train to Hogwarts. - The fact that Fred and George were the ones who gave Malfoy the idea to smuggle Death Eaters into Hogwarts when they shoved Montague into the vanishing cabinet making Draco relives the cabinets potential. Also the fact that the whole reason the cabinet was broken was because of Harry who was in trouble. Nearly Headless Nick had Peeves drop the cabinet above Flichs office. - The other classes at Hogwarts like Ancient Runes, Astronomy, Arithmancy, and Muggle Studies which was later used by the Carrow twins to basically brainwash students into hating muggles and muggleborns and torture kids. - The fact that Voldemort/Tom Riddle is a half-blood. I mean do the death eaters know this or did he lie to them about his blood status and say he was a pure-blood? - Peter Pettigrew's death scene. - The two-way mirror Sirius gives to harry for communication that later becomes vitally important. - Harry and Voldemort's final duel and how Harry sacrifice cast a protection charm over everyone just like how Lily protected Harry all those years ago. - Winky the house elf. - Ludo Bagman and his involvement in the Triwizard Tournament and how he scammed Fred and George of their winnings after the Quidditch world cup. - And literally so much more that I haven't listed!

An additional note to #10: I would love to see the proper colors get implemented. Everywhere, it's always Blue and silver, but Ravenclaw's colors are actually blue and BRONZE.

I would like "Wizard robes", not just muggle clothing at Hogwards.

Morgan really voicing the opinions of the fandom for us 🩷

1. I want to see the Black sisters (including Andromeda) in their school years and the Black family in general, plus Andromeda's relationship with Ted Tonks. Also Sirius' and Regulus' family and how the relatives interacted with each other. 2.Veelas! 3.Maybe a glimpse on other wizarding schools. 4.Seeing different rooms of all Hogwarts Houses. 5.Process of making horcruxes. 6.Snape's full memories. 7. Inferis that look like actual zombies played by real actors and not the boring cgi creatures we got in the movie. 8.Death day party. 9.Ted Tonks Jr. 10. More of werewolves and their backstory. 11. Vampires (at least at Slughorn's party). I hope it won't be ruined with identity politics and all the characters stay the same race as in the books!

I would really like to see the relationship development between Tonks and Lupin, especially the scene where Harry argues with his favourite teacher because he wanted to leave his wife and child behind. It was such a powerful scene, so deep considering Harry grew without parents and that he really needed Lupin’s help but chose to send him back to his own family. Also I would like to see how Molly does not accept Fleur and how her mind changes after that wonderful scene in the hospital where Fleur sees Bill’s wounds and it does not change her feelings to him.

I want to see all of the following 1. The battle of astronomy tower 2.All 9 weaselys 3. Fred and George pranking dudley 4. All of harry and ginny's moments 5. Bill and ginny's relationship 6. The marauders' story 7. Everything Tom Riddle made ginny do 8. Dumbledore telling the dursleys off 9. Hermione and Ginny's friendship develop 10. Bill and Fleur's relationship 11. Ron crumble up the letter percy sent him

Knowing how Morgan was able to repurpose Cursed Child into a solid story, it would be awesome (albeit highly unlikely) if HBO could make him part of the creative team for the series.

I would love for the following scenes to be much longer, train trips to and from hogwarts, knight bus, great hall meals, lessons, common rooms, more walking between hogwarts locations. Feels so much more immersive the longer you spend in each location.

I sweat if they get Ron and Ginny right I'm going to be the happiest person The movies did them so bad

Also, we need Tonk’s parents including Teddy Lupin. We never got to see him in the movie but he was mentioned during the deathly hallows part two and deleted scene. As for Andromeda and Ted Tonks, they were never mentioned throughout the movies but does show in the books as Ted was killed by snatchers and Andromeda raised her grandson when Lupin and Tonks died during the battle of Hogwarts. We need the grey lady’s backstory, it was never mention what happen to her as she was killed by the bloody baron when she refused to come with him and she was the daughter of Rowena Ravenclaw. Peter Pettigrew’s death was never shown in the movie as he was knocked out by Dobby, but in the book, he lets Harry and Ron go after realizing that Harry was right about saving his life during the Prisoner of Azkaban. As he lets them go, his silver choke him to death and Harry and Ron try to save him.

Karen Gillian as Amy is like the perfect vision of Ginny in my mind. Not the actress because she’d be too old but the way she portrayed Amy in Doctor Who where she just has that charisma and spark is to me what made Ginny so awesome in the books!

All great ideas! Don’t forget: 🔸Sirius’s mirror, a huge part of the Malfoy Manor rescue in DH 🔸Harry/Ginny’s first kiss done right… in the aftermath of Ginny winning the Quidditch cup vs. Cho 🔸More Dean, more Seamus, way more Neville 🔸Harry & 7th year Oliver Wood win their 1st Cup vs. Slytherin in POA 🔸All 3 Gryffindor Quidditch matches in POA better be featured! 🔸Golden trio random interactions with Hufflepuff & Ravenclaw classmates in their year 🔸Ludo Bagman 🔸Winky & SPEW 🔸ALL the challenges within the Maze at the Triwizard tourney 🔸ALL the professor challenges in PS- Snape’s potions test of logic etc. 🔸Barty Jr. receiving Dementor’s Kiss 🔸Cho/Harry disaster Valentine’s date 🔸Marietta can be developed as somewhat of a sneak BEFORE OOTP 🔸Marietta (not Cho) betrays the DA 🔸Luna gets air time at least in the background BEFORE OOTP 🔸Ms. Figg & others developed as characters BEFORE they become relevant to the plot 🔸Department of Mysteries OOTP scenes explored properly 🔸Firenze teaching divination 🔸Dumbledore speaks calmly the entire time 🔸Harry has enough of Dumbledore at the end of OOTP & tears up his possessions 🔸Lupin’s bribe & interactions with Tonks BEFORE they’re a couple 🔸Mads Mikkelsen makes a Grindelwald-in-jail cameo in DH 🔸Final HP-Voldy duel at the Battle of Hogwarts takes place in the Great Hall with the crowd. Voldy dies a “natural death” & falls like any other mortal- that was a big theme in the books, totally ignored in the movie

I want to see Harry and Ginny's relationship fully explored. Not counting their awkward moments we have to make a presumptive jump that a couple of shared kisses in the films was basis enough to lead to the couple being married with 3 kids. In the books we see the foundation of their relationship being laid down from friends to lovers. We see just how strong, passionate, and unwavering their love is. When Harry broke up with Ginny she understood why, and once his mission to end Voldamort was done they were able to really build a life together which is the dream that kept them going during the hunt for the horcruxes and the war.

The thing with Harry and Ginny is that they do have a lot of backstory that even goes back to the first book.

I gotta hear Harry say: "There's no need to call me Sir, Professor."

Warning: Rant I hope they do Fleur’s character justice. In the goblet of fire film, she was made into a sort of comedy character so when she was reintroduced as a somewhat major character in the deathly hallows, it didn’t make sense. I want to see her being clever in the triwizard tournament, standing up to mrs weasley when bill gets attacked, housing Harry’s group in shell cottage without a second thought, being related by marriage to Harry in the epilogue… she shouldn’t be reduced to a comedy character.

Some things I want that aren’t addressed as much are actually changes from the books. I want some of the plot holes, like how Fred and George never saw Peter Petigrew on the map, fixed. I also feel that Luna would be the kind of person Harry would at least see in the Chamber of Secrets, even if he didn’t know her.

Now that they have time and budget to show everything, I want everything. Not just the events witnessed and participated by Harry but also flashbacks of told and untold stories. There are so many possibilities to mention just a few: the Potters' murder, Harry's childhoold at Dursleys', the first task performed by all champions, The Riddle's House chapter, The Other Minister chapter, the tortures of the Longbottoms, Sirius confronting Pettigrew short after Potters' death, Barty Crouch Jr story etc.

All I really want is that they get Harry’s character right. He’s so sassy all the time in the books and especially in the first movie they made him this angel child. I also hope that they get the dynamics between the trio right. Like showing the amazing friendship between Ron and Harry, showing scenes with just Harry and Hermione that let the viewer understand how much they care for each other (as friends), and also showing how Ron and Hermione grow closer trying to cope with Harry’s outbursts in OoP. Oh, and I want Percy’s arc, I genuinely can’t understand how they could leave that out of the movies, when it’s such an important part of like 3 books

I want them to be true to Percy´s character depth. Especially his personality, Fred and George´s constantly making fun of him (even more so than with Ron), his serious attitude, high academic achievements, strong work ethic, job under Barty Crouch, and later siding with the Ministry and Fudge, over the Order and his family. In the earlier books, Percy and Hermione had some sort of friendship, because of their shared intellectual nature. But, were Hermione would eventually learn to have a healthy critical eye on things she read, and authority figures in her life, Percy had to learn this lesson the hard way. There is even an instance, where Percy writes a letter to Ron, urging him to stop being friends with Harry. First time reading it, I really hated him, but seeing things from his perspective, I think he genuinely was concerned for his little brother. He actually believed wholeheartedly in the narratives and actions the Ministry were promoting. And they weren´t exactly painting Harry as the most ideal buddy. They better explain and elaborate on this subplot. He´s an interesting character, who explores how hot and polarizing political times can split families. The argument between Arthur and Percy, about his new job with the Minister for Magic, would´ve been legendary to see. I can understand both sides. And when he finally comes back to see his family, it is just a short moment of joy, and then Fred dies. Without this painful backstory, his return to the Battle of Hogwarts, and him being by his family´s side mourning Fred, is way less impactful.

Even though they paid a little too much attention to Hermione in the OG movies, I think the show could really capitalise on showing SPEW in order to flesh out the Wizarding World hierarchy a bit more. And there's several ways you can link it to the overarching plot of each season. You can show Hermione's relationship with Winky which developed from her being framed for conjuring the Dark Mark, to her shame at Hermione for trying to get her to request wages for her work. And then, in Season 7 you can link this to the scene in which the house elves led the charge against the Death Eaters in the Battle of Hogwarts, whilst also solidifying Ron and Hermione's relationship, as well as Ron's character arc by showing his concern for them. And this is just a taste of the amount you can do with house elves.

I would LOVE to see the scene where Mrs. Weasley finally accepts Fleur. Bill has been disfigured by Grayback and Mrs. Weasley assumes that because of this, Fleur will not still want to marry Bill. Mrs. Weasley says "He was going to be married", and Fleur takes exception to that saying, "What do you MEAN he was GOING to be married?" LOVE this scene!

I really hope they include my favourite scene from the books - Harry’s career advice with McGonagall and Umbridge. Still makes me howl with laughter every time.

One thing I would like to see is kind of like a montage of scenes showing repetitive days at the start of Order of the Phoenix showing how agitated, stressed, frustrated and cooped up Harry’s feeling. I feel like this could better communicate his frustration at Dumbledore and have people understand him lashing out at Ron and Hermione more (come to think of it, they should add that too. And Harry apologising for yelling at them, even if his anger is understandable).

I seriously want to watch Harry Potter and Ginny Weasley's FULL chemistry. Also Dumbledore's funeral! We lost sooooo many great charactars, and the only on screen funeral we saw was of a giant spider! Yeah sure J.K. also added only one more funeral other than that but thats also more than welcome!

This show is actually gonna be a gold mine for your channel. Looking forward to future stuff

1. Even if my fav charecter is Hermionie I feel like almost all of Ron's good lines in the book were given to Hermionie so I would like to see more of ron being ron in the books 2.ginny how she was in the books 3.Hermionie and Ginnys great friendship 😊😊😊

I want to see more of Tonks and Lupin’s story, especially the hospital scene in half blood prince, and the scene where Lupin argued with Harry at Grimmauld place in deathly hallows.

I just want the characters to be fully fleshed out and be allowed to breathe, and have most of their moments from the books intact, important to the plot or not.

I wanna see Ron and hermonies kiss actually not kiss in the chamber, their first kiss was because Ron mentioned the house elves, I still want to see Ron yelling, THAT'S MY GIRLFRIEND YOU NUMPTIE

I would love to see more about the first war (flashbacks/ the Potters in hiding and especially giggeling baby Harry on his toy broomstick/ The prewett twins, Marlene and Dorcas, all the other order members) And it would be awesome to see the Weasley twins their progress with the joke products (Dudley getting fed a ton-tongue toffee, the skiving snackboxes in action etc etc)

As a insanely late potterhead, this series is a blessing ❤

I SWEAR, I LOVE HOW THIS MAN GIVES THE MARAUDERS SO MUCH JUSTICE, THINKING ABOUT NOT JUST THE POTTERHEADS, BUT THE MARAUDERS FANS ASWELL. THE MARAUDERS DESERVE JUSTICE.

I want to see justice for Harry as well. In the books he is sassy and sarcastic. He actually calls Voldemort ''TOM'' in front of 100s of people. I want justice for the last battle between Harry and Voldemort with Voldemort dying like a normal human being, an empty shell (not exploding into millions of pieces), then everybody running to Harry wanting to touch him, hug him etc.

Having a RAB episode in the season 7: The Deathly Hallows will be epic and having quidditch thought out the each season with exceptions of Goblet of fire and The deathly hallows. But I feel that the tom riddle memories will be sprinkled in throughout the season of The Half-blood Prince

It's hard to know whether Harry and Ginny will have romantic chemistry when they cast them at 10 years old. I hope it works. Also, I do want a more consistent Dumbledore to the books (I said calmly). I want to see him duel and defeat Fudge, Umbridge, Dawlish, Kingsley, and Percy with little effort, give instruction to McGonagall, then make his exit. I also want to see him capture all the death eaters in the Ministry of Magic. Other than that, I agree with your list 100%.

All of the Tonks stuff, especially her relationship with Remus. The groups time hiding out at Sirius’s house and Creatures redemption arch. All of the centaur material, especially Ferenz’s rebelling and his teaching position. The full goodbye between Harry and the Dursleys, especially when Dudley realises he cares about Harry. All the uncut violence. Giddian’s story. The full prison break of the death eaters. The full break in at the ministry of magic and Dumbledor’s full fight with Tom. Hagrids brother at the battle of hogwarts. All the Black headmaster stuff and how he was secretly helping Harry.

I want the Dementors to look a lot more like their book counterparts. And i definitely want the Dementor attack on Sirius, Hermione, and Harry by the Black Lake in Prisoner Of Azkaban to be a bit more like the book. It was much more graphic and the fact that Hermione was unable to perform the Patronus Charm while Harry was able to blew my mind when i first read it.

Gosh reading all these comments on what scenes they didn’t have in the movies but are beloved in the books is making me tear up in excitement for this series. I’m so excited!!!

I just want Dumbledore to say calmly…. “Harry, did you put your name in the Goblet of fire?” Not….. “HARRY, DiD yOu PuT YouR NaME iN ThE GoBLeT oF FiRE!!?!?!?”

OMG in addition to all of this, I wanna see the whole Rita Skeeter drama from books 4 and 5. They just showed that she was a gossiper but in the books it showed her as malicious and how she was an unregistered animagi which Hermione later catches and blackmails her. And we need the S.P.E.W content from book 4.

I really want the Marauders, Regulus and Voldemort stories. But would also be really cool to see the first chapter of the half blood prince book, with Fudge and the muggle prime minister !!

What i want is more Slytherin gang stuff. Theodore Nott is mentioned in the books but not a lot i would like him, Draco, Pansy, Blaise, maybe Crabbe and Goyle to befriend each other and have more of a backstory with each other like the one the fan base created.

I really want them to encapsulate the wonder of the wizarding world. They had a few moments of this in the movie, but as time went on the movies just became so gloomy and dark. And yes, as the series progresses it is going to get more dark but it’s important to balance that with the lighthearted wonder that comes with the wizarding world and living at a magical castle. Also yes, give me all the Weasley banter, show Percy’s story, Bill being the cool older brother, Charlie being badass, Fred and George and their joke shop arc, Ron being street smart and sassy and Ginny bring iconic. In the books it’s so clear that Harry is closer to Ron than he is Hermoine. Show that they really are best friends whilst Hermoine is that bossy but caring older sister figure who he gets exasperated by.

You should be both the writer and director of all the fandoms you cover! You got the brains, insight, passion and are just damn awesome at what you do!

The Lily actress actually had green contacts when filming but for some reason it didn’t show in the filming and no one noticed it till editing

I just pray that they get the characters right, in the ways the movies weren’t able to. ESPECIALLY Ron, Ginny, and Voldemort. Also, that they keep the soundtrack from the movies. If the movies got anything right, it was definitely the soundtrack.

Might be a hot take but I definitely want to see Hermione’s badass side more, capturing Rita Skeeter in the jar and jinxing Marietta Edgecomb to show her as a snitch.

with the adding on to the astronomy tower fight, i think it would be great to also include the scene of fleur in the hospital wing. they didn’t show much of fleur in the movies, and they also just kind of out of nowhere showed fleur and molly suddenly getting along.

One of the major things you missed is showing Trelawney's first prophecy..They didn't fully show in the 5th movie and in the 8th movie they showed the Prisoner of Azkaban prophecy (In the Prince's tale) which was very confusing to many people like me who watched the movies first

As a Harry Potter fan, I hope that the reboot series tell The Marauders’ full backstory.

They really should be loyal to the book this time and cover everything. They really need to cover all these scenes

I just want them to do justice to Ginny’s character and the marauders as well, also would love to see a lot more of Sirius

The number one thing I want to see the most is seeing the characters characterization and personality done right. The movies changed Hermione's, Draco's, Ron's, Ginny's and even Harry's personality and traits in many ways and it was like watching different people on screen. I need to see how nasty Draco can be and how prideful he is in the beginning of sixth book to do the task Voldemort asked him to do. I want to see Ginny's sarcasm and fierce moments. I was to see sarcastic and angsty Harry and I want to see his mental breakdown in the Dumbledore's office. Make Hermione less perfect. Give her the flaws she has in the books and make her more bossy. Finally give Ron his moments, his smarts and his ACTUALLY funny scenes. The second thing I want to see is the magic and its possibilities. I want to see more creative magic fights etc.

I really want more Dobby. He appears in more than just 2 movies. I want to see Winky as well. Maybe a minor gripe about the movies, but I want the Fidelius done right. It was left out of the 3rd movie and that left some gaps in some other movies as well

I can't believe you didn't mention the most important 2 of all: 2) Calm Dumbledore (Gambon clearly didn't read the books and ruined the movies for me with his portrayal of the character) and.... -- drum roll -- .... 1) SASSY HARRY - he was SO witty, hilarious and deadpan throughout the books and made me absolutely holler out loud. Whereas in the movies, he was a wet sock. I know Ron was the comic relief, but Harry's quiet sass always gave me LIFE.

We should also get more of of Rita Skeeter and how she outed Hagrid as half-giant. Then we go for the full cabin conversation, especially the ‘…that skeeter c*w- oh, sorry professor.” “I have gone temporarily deaf and cannot hear a word you are saying.”

I want to see more of the Marauders!! I loved that part of The Prisoner of Azkaban... the movies don't even do it justice. We went from him being named Peter Pettigrew in one movie to calling him "Wormtail" in the other without explanation! You only know what that was if you read the books

I definitely want all the Voldemort memories; mysteries like that being revealed makes this series so interesting bc at the heart of the series the stories are mysteries that have answers later. It also makes the stuff that's unanswered even more interesting

I want to see them fix the end that they changed in the last movie. They need to show Harry fixing his phoenix wand that he felt was a part of him, and not just break the elder wand that he knew was sentient. And having Voldemort disintegrate with no witnesses other than harry was a mistake. they spent the whole series having Dumbledore and harry try to tell people he's still just a man, and having him just fall over dead in front of everyone in the book may not have been the most visually stimulating, but it was the most fitting. Imagine the big bad just disappearing with no witnesses other than the boy who lies after thinking Voldemort died years before and people just having to believe he's gunna stay dead. that's how you get Palpatine back after 30 years.

I completely agree about Harry's eyes! that was the entire reason that Snape protected and supported Harry. He was so in love with Lily for his entire life, that he was willing to help Harry. And at his death, he wanted to look in to Harry's eyes as if he were looking in to Lily's. The eyes matter, HBO!!

Yes James and Lilly’s casting has always annoyed me But the other marauders and Snape never really annoyed me too much (they’re obviously not 30) but because they’re all meant to look aged because of their various circumstances it’s not as bad The only exception is Oldman as Sirius after the third movie In the third movie he look’s pretty perfect as Sirius Black and he doesn’t look too old But in the fifth film he just looks like a completely different character and just looks like Gary Oldman with a wig and beard and his hair is not the black hair he had before and he looks too old It seems that the adult characters were mostly cast with the idea of had the movies been made in the late 80s/90s

I need need need Voldemort’s backstory! The pensive chapters are some of the best in the entire series. They fleshed out Voldemort’s character. He isn’t just a hallow dark lord figure who’s character is ‘evil’ like he is in the movies.

It's surely going to be 1 season to each book, and then they can work how many episodes will be needed for each book and this also means it can be alot more detailed and really is needed.. so much was missed out You should do a video for each season/book, like what could be missed from the movies and replaced in the series or just what could be added to each season

Seriously this show needs to be an animation 1. All character would look book-accurate 2. They wouldn't need to find a cast to replace the irreplacable cast 3. It would make the TV Show feel very different than the movies 4. It would be able to guarantee many (hopefully all) of the things mentioned in this video 5. I think it would be awesome Keep up the epic work Morgan!

Completely agree with the Ravenclaw logo change. I'm so tired of telling people that the Ravenclaw's logo is an eagle, and why. And while we're at it, let's see some good characterization out of the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff houses. Outside of Luna and very sparse appearances of Cedric and Cho, we get little to no screentime with students from those houses.

“Get the eye colors right” mf you’ll be lucky if they get the skin colors right 😂

I’d like to see some material that was cut or written after the main series be added back in, like Dean’s backstory

Remus Lupin is my favorite character and I would really love to see more of him and Tonks. How their relationship started and progressed throughout the books. Lupin have self esteem issues and rejecting Tonks time and time again but her never giving up on him. It's one the most beautiful relations in the books and we hardly got to see any interactions between them and the ones they did film got cut out if the movie. As well as one of my favorite scene in the books when Remus runs away to go help Harry in his quest to find the hocruxes and Harry gets angry about it and they get into an argument and Harry tells Lupin that Teddy needs his father and that he has to go back. And you know... including teddy lupin more then just the one mention he got when Harry saw the ghosts of his loved ones

The main thing i want them to do is hand the books to the actor/actress and tell them"Find your character and learn their lines in the book" I was so POed when they changed just about everything in the books to fit what "they" that we wanted

I agree with all of these, but I also really want to see the development of the background relationships like Bill & Fleur and Remus & Tonks! These relationships were so glossed over so when they were on screen, it made no sense. All of a sudden they were just married without us ever having seen them together. All the angst surrounding these relationships was fantastic! Especially Remusdora! And PLEASE do Fleur justice! She was one of my favorite characters in the later books. And yes she was a bit snobbish, but the last 2 books make more obvious that her way of speaking has more to do with her language barrier and different culture than her being genuinely mean. And in the movies, we never see how competent of magic user she is

1. Hinny done justice. 2. All the characters looking exactly book-accurate 3. All Tom Riddle memories 4. 422th Quidditch World Cup 5. ALL the Weasleys 6. Quidditch House Cups (3rd, 5th, and 6th) 7. The Marauders flashbacks 8. The Potter family living in Godric's Hollow before...well...

No race-bending, no polemicism.

i agree with all of these. I would add: fix the Maze challenge in the Goblet of fire including the magical creatures; fix the Barty Crouch Jr story including how he escaped from Azkaban; show the hospital scenes after Arthur Weasley is attacked, including Neville's parents and Gilderoy Lockhart. I would also love to see you do a video on how the HBO series could fix some of the problems and inconsistencies in the books.

YES TO ALL 15 of these Morgan! I was reading the part about Fred's death to my 7-year-old daughter just about a month ago, and I sobbed so hard I couldn't go on. That was my 4th time through the books. As a mother and as an identical twin myself it was just the most heartbreaking scene. And yes the movies threw it into the toilet. It will be critical to get the right screenwriters to adapt the books. Maybe they could get the ones who did the Hunger Games be part of the team.
