lol if they pick a black dumbledore but make him look the way dumbledore should otherwise, it's gonna look like one of the targaryens from the spin off game of thrones show
They should have Jude Law who played as Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beast. He's 51. He has wrinkles around the eyes, so make up artists can add very little details there. Give him a fake long beard, long hair, and he can do it.
@@bl7857 Yeah, but my issue is simply this. They said this reboot will cover things from the books that wasn't in the films and will be very book accurate. So they can't just turn around and be like.. yeah this character whose described as a white dude is now African. If they made the Weasley's black people would actually be upset though as it specifically showcases the Weasley's being ginger. These casting options for Dumbledore and the trio are bad. The trio are older. Tired of all this gotta be diversity on reboots or adaptations. Just follow what it says and describes in the book.
Honestly, I’m not sure how I feel about this. The movies had it spot on, and are still playing on a few streaming services. I recently went back through them with a couple of friends, and the actors that they chose, looked and played their part perfectly. If they’re only making a reboot for inclusion and money, I really don’t think it’s gonna be worth it.
Has one big fan of both the movie and the book, i really looking for the show. The movie don't have the time to show us all the magic the book have and the character. I hope to see Peeves, Charlie Weasley, Andromeda Tonks, Winky, and so many more. If they do it right, the show could be a great expand of the Hp univers
The movies were far from spot on. They leave out a lot of important details, and character development. Even Harry’s character is rushed, and underdeveloped in the movie. Harry is actually very funny and witty. Hermione was arrogant, and bossy. Ron was immature, but loyal, and brave. Ginny was actually a badass and unlike in the movies she was actually present in Harry’s life. Remus was self loathing, Snape was extremely mean to all the kids for no reason. Serious loved danger, and excitement, and tried to live vicariously through Harry and his friends. Percy was insufferable, and obsessed with his public image. He was also jealous of Harry bc of his fame. These are all key details that are what make the characters relatable.
Yeah.. I have a feeling they won't be any better. And why don't they just make a new movie series. Fresh content. An expansion on the universe, that's what we all really want I feel like. Like harry's kids or SOMETHING. Not just a reboot..
Narrator: ''The only problem with Blair Underwood playing Dumbledore is that he's...'' Me: ''Ooh! I know! I know!'' Narrator: ''...he's too young.'' Me: ''Doh!''
I don’t get too mad about forced diversity in Hollywood, but a black Dumbledore is crossing the line. That is such a horrible idea, they better not do it
The great thing is that Daniel is actually about the correct age at this point to play Sirius or Lupin. That would be awesome! But, I do get his reasoning for staying out.
I heard that they will introduce the cock shaft wand in this adaptation. It’s a wand which uses a hair from a 150 yearold Goblins hairy asshole as a string and pussy juice of an elvish slave as it’s core.
To be honest the only one I liked was Adam driver, for Severus (Sever-us) Snape. He was supposed to be younger in the first one anyway, Even though Alan Rickman played the part exceptionally.
I don’t think they would cast him cos he’s American and for the original films they where only allowed to cast actors from the uk and with JK as a producer I expect that rule will still be the same :)
@@ATWGraphic Ik but jk didn’t care about accents she always wanted the actors to be British, the original actor to play griphoock was American but they had Warwick Davis re-do the voice lines for the part so I sincerely doubt that he would be allowed to play the part
Clearly the book is fantasy, so I honestly would not have any problem with Dumbledore being portrayed as black, or even Hispanic. I mean, some of the greatest characters in Harry Potter were black themselves, such as Kingsley who went on to become the minster for magic and Leta Lestrange her self were black. I dont have a problem with Dumbledore being white either, I am white LOL His mom was said to look dress like a native american, said harry when he saw a photo of Dumbledore mother. So Dumbledore clearly has an interesting heritage. @@greatphilosopher1
Are these castings really official?! Until I see announcements from official sources, I'll take these with a grain of salt. Blair Underwood as Dumbledore?! Yeah right! As for the original 3 rejecting JK Rowling, I say keep them away. Emma has drunk too much of the woke kool-aid anyway so let them keep pandering. I'm all for this reboot if it's going to follow the books more thoroughly!
Yes this is a bunch of rubbish. They are not going to cast a 17 year old to play Hermione. This is a reboot starting back at year one and each season will be 1 book. By the time they are done she would be 25 or 26 years old depending on when they start filming
This franchise needs one tbh. It’s been 20 years, and there’s o much left out on the movies that will be on the show because it’s a season per book. Not everyone reads lol
@@YenellyT It doesn't need a reboot that will turn it into a whole different franchise? Did you see the trailer? Looks horrible, none of them look like they fit in, they're all American now as well
Why cast a 17 year old to play a 12 year old. Apart from just being way to old, and too much of a main character to get away with it, she'd be in her 20's before the first season even airs, closer to 30 before this all wraps up, paling a teenagers against actual real teenagers, supposedly ending the series in a romantic relationship with one of them. Also I think all the cast should be British unless stated otherwise in the book (like the visitors from the other schools in book 4 obviously), and I think they should really try to stick close to the ages everyone was in the book. Get actual kids for the kid roles, Get people in their early-mid 30's for Remus, Sirius, Peter and Snape. McGonnagall is supposed to be in her mid-late 50's. Maggie Smith was a tad bit too old to play her when the movies first came out, but she was Rowlings dream pick and managed reasonably to hold up through all of the movies. Helen Mirren is 78 now, if she even survives the entire production she'd be close to 90 by the end of it and might not even be able to play the character even if she is alive. The one exception to the age rule is Dumbledore, I say do please cast someone that isn't too old, around 60, give or take a couple of years, like Ian McKellen was when they started Lord of the Rings or Gambon was when he took over as Dumbledore, and do the aging with make-up, so that we might actually have the same Dumbledore all the way through and one that can still give the character the proper strength all the way to the end.
I agree with the first part. I am 14 and I think I would make a pretty good Hermione, and everyone I know says I look 11 or 12. I wanted that role so badly. I'm not British though.
I am aware that there are lots of people genuinely excited for this reboot! But I find it really interesting that many (not all, of course) of the people complaining about the new series are the same ones to tell older people to “get over it” when they complain about the amount of movies from the 80’s being remade! Oh, how the world turns!! Love for the milestones of your life is real,and everybody will feel this way sometime during their lifetime.
I'd love Helen Mirren, but I've said it before Emma Thompson would also be a great choice.... I really hope the cast kids that are closer to the age, again. Like if she is 17 now and has to play an 11 year old in two years.... NO thank you! Also hope they find someone age approprate for the Marauders/Snape and Lilly (and Gilderoy also) I would love to see Tom Felton play Lucius - even though he is a bit young, Lucus should be 6 yearsolde then Snape/Marauders ( if I remember correctly he was a prefect/head boy - so year 7 - when Snape was sorted). also... I still think Ralph Finees would be a great choice once again - he is now closer to the age Voldemort should have been
when i say harry potter has been my pride and joy since i was in second grade, i mean it. i read all the books and watched the movies over and over again, i literally love the fan base sm and all the casting and everything, so as i grew up with the og cast it’s definitely a big change that i don’t like that much but i’m eager to see what they do with it
Don’t think Adam driver will portray snape as jk wants an all British cast Also I think the trio cast is only a rumor & hasn’t been officially confirmed
Hermione's actress is 17? Did I hear that right? Over 10 years ... casting a 27 year old as a 17 year old can work. I mean that kid from maze runner still looks really young. (and the fact that in the first years napoleon was 24 or something didn't keep anyone from casting a 50(?) year old) But they start as 11 year olds ... I think it could lead to trouble. But well see. Maybe it works our in the end
@@fijianwatersbelow wait I watched the first episode and they looked 14-15 haha they def looked way younger than 17! For HP I want to see little kids to see them grow with the series
I extend my sincere appreciation to the original cast and crew of the movies. But I am particularly eager to witness the reboot, given that J.K. Rowling has assumed the role of executive producer. This development implies the inclusion of crucial content from the books within the series, assuring a comprehensive portrayal without the constraints of time, characteristic of a serialized format.
Benedict cumberbatch could fit for voldermort as well, but I'd be happy to see him play snape. Most of the characters he played are misunderstood, lonely,etc and snape could fit perfectly.
I would love to see Harry as Sirius or Lupin or James. Ginny as Lily Potter. Draco as Lucius. Ron as Arthur. Hermione as Aunt Petunia or Molly. Umbridge as Aunt Marge. Nearly-Headless Nick as Sir Cadogan (King Arthur🥥🥥🥥🐴🐴🐴). Professor Sprout as the grandma telling her granddaughter a story about a wolf. And Gilderoy Lockhart as Frank Longbottom🤪🤪🤪.
I just think there are a few hundred speaking roles in each book, so it would be fun to have old cast members popping up throughout in completely different roles in a way that wouldn’t take away from anything just have Julie Walters be the trolley cart witch, and things like that. Even an unexpected casting choice like casting the McLaggen guy as Sirius or something. There’s plenty of roles and plenty of actors.
I think Colin Firth and Benedict Cumberbatch would be perfect as Dumbledore & Voldemort respectively. If I were to recast some of the old cast I would have Daniel Radcliffe as James Potter, Rupert Grint as Arthur Weasley, Emma Watson for Bellatrix Lestrange, Tom Felton for Lucuis Malfoy & Bonnie Wright for Lily.
Unless it's older versions of the characters, I'd like them to reprise their roles, but for the TV series as a whole, we need a whole new cast. I never read the books, but hopefully it's extremely faithful to the books and fully fleshed out unlike the movies which were clearly rushed with changes. I've only heard of Hermoine's original character and would love to see how psycho personality.
More people will watch a new series with a different cast than will watch A Cursed Child. That was horrific. There was a ton that had to be left out of the movies that can be put into a series.
Did anyone else notice Dumbledoor being black?.. isn’t that… just so convinient? He was gay… now he’s black… in the next adaptation he’ll be a woman.. or a transgender 😂😂😂😂😂
Jim Carrey as Professor Mad Moody Daniel Radcliffe for Sirius Black Rupert Grint for Arthur Weasley / Bill Weasley Tom Felton as Lucius Malfoy Enma Watson can be cast as Fleur Delacour or Tonks (Auror) Ralph Fiennes as Lord Voldemort Alfred Enoch as Kingsley Shacklebolt Adam Driver as Severus Snape Matthew Lewis as Professor Lupin / Quirrel Harry Melling as Vernon Dursley Zach Galifianakis as Rubeus Hagrid Sir Ian McKellen as Professor Albus Dumbledore (finally!) Tobey McGuire as Professor Gilderoy Lockhart Dame Helen Mirren as Professor McGonagall Robert Pattinson as Cornelius Fudge
Tom Felton as Lucius Malfoy, that'd be so good, Ruppert as Arthur Weasley would also be great, the dynamic they could've would be just perfect as they already have it, one character that really worries me is Bellatrix, Helena Bonham Cartes was just perfect and I don't really think any acress would be better than her for that role, as for Mcgonagall, i really want to see how the character is managed, but i think Meryl Strip would fit it better, she's expensive tho so I don't think they'd have the budget for her.
saying the old cast would be too distracting to be in the new film screams to me their going to murder the franchise and they want as little resistance as possible
The main trio have a very young Harry and a very old Ron & Hermione. My issues are this: - Harry Potter potential cast = I can see it - Ron Weasley potential cast = No, Weasley's are ginger he isn't even ginger and is 15, they're suppose to be kids at the start - Hermoine potential cast = I can see it but she's 17, too old to play a 10 to 13 year old - Rest I am fine with except Dumbledore - Not to sound weird but... Dumbledore is a white old wizard plus they could have Jude Law who played Dumbledore in the Fantastic Beasts just add the long beard, long white hair, and some makeup.
Bro why cant they continue with all the previous characters staying parents and their kids being in hogwarts. To be able to see characters like harry, ron, hermione, draco and others as parents would be super cool. Why cant that be the new reboot. What is the point of just redoing literally everything. Sometimes i wonder how stupid can people be.
Season 1 Harry Potter and the Philosopher’s Stone (2026) Season 2 Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2027) Season 3 Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (2028) Season 4 Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2029) Season 5 Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix (2030) Season 6 Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince (2031) Season 7 Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows (2032)
honestly Instead of a reboot i'd prefer a sequel of it being the son of harry potter, but thinking about Naruto & Boruto show, it just doesn't work too well.
The cast hasn't been revealed - these are fancasts of Harry, Ron and Hermione (the other characters where stated as fancasts in the video). There isn't even a casting director attached to the show as of right now. The current information around the cast boils down to speculation.
Why why why would they start off with taking 2 steps backwards from the get go by casting like this. The original movies were gold despite inaccuracies BECAUSE the casting was so well done. Not only did the original cast actors match the appearance but they also matched the personality of their respective characters. Now we casting people who dont match the look OR personality, cant atleast get 1 of the 2? Already expecting this to flop, but we'll see in time.
not adam driver for snape tho edit: so when they said diversity they only meant one character ? who is also probably not going to be black because the actor is too young? Also the whole trans thing is nonse since personality doesnt have a gender and all personality traits are neutral in their nature. There is no psychological gender, no matter how much people want to believe that. Its literally a social construct.
I like the idea but I don’t love it. I think it will be hard in my opinion to see other actors play the characters we love. I do agree with them saying that if they had new young actors are a new set of friends in Hogwarts. But I am not sure how they’re supposed to have a 17 year old actor play someone who is 11. I do think that it will be cool to see new people just not 100% on new actors playing the original cast. I think it would have been cool if they had continued on with Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s kids in Hogwarts. Like shown the kids years in Hogwarts. Ofc this is just my opinion disagree if you want to.
I find all of this very strange. Does the fanbase actually want this? It just feels way to soon and to have the original cast playing other characters... very strange indeed.
I like the idea of of a tv series now that I’m loving the Percy Jackson series on Disney+ but they have to get the casting right. And having a 17 year old play Hermione is not right. The movie cast grew up perfectly with the movies.
Going to tell you the books are way better. Glad you chose the right choice. Eventually if you get bored of them, try audio books if you're not a fan of reading. After you finish the series of course.
I’m here for it and can’t wait. The movies were mostly good, but i think a longer form production would do the series right. I don’t really care about race swaps or other representation as long as they don’t beat us over the head with messaging. Show, don’t tell, and be subtle. I have grown weary of reboots, but this is potter and well… I’m mid 30s and still waiting for my letter.
Considering how much care was put in casting the right actor for each character in the movies, and now they pick them like any regular tv show. These casting choices make no sense and already give me Rings of Power flashbacks.
so fitting....thanks Emma for not standing up for your own rights, in what you say is "love" it seems more like you are afraid to assert yourself as a woman... Women are not just people....they are women. A man in a dress is not a woman, no matter how much he feels he is.....
Did she just say that the actress playing Hermione is 17yo? Playing the part of an 11yo? What do they plain on doing in the later years when the actors r 30 playing the role of 16yo’s? This didn’t make any sense.
