man i don’t even like Harry Potter but some things are sacred and should be left alone

stupid

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

I’m excited to see what they do 

The movies butchered a lot of the story

Keep in mind that the last movie came out 14 years ago (were the new actors even born yet?!) and the first movie came out 24 years ago (yoly)

They’re def gonna be fighting a battle against entrenchment but I think the IP is bigger than the actors

that’s fair but i kinda feel like you have one shot at getting it right if you do 8 movies + all the merch, etc too. it’s made the actor-character combos SO deeply entrenched in pop culture at this point

even with better writing it seems really mf hard to disassociate the 3 leads with their counterparts
