Yes, the girl played Matilda role in the musical here in the UK. She is super talented

OMG — that girl is my daughter’s ex classmate! She left school recently to focus on her career

working on meta.matcha.xyz, yc alum, @orangedao

I'm surprised you didn't hear! Saw lots of outrage online about some of the casting choices (not of these 3)

oh damn i wasn’t aware an hbo show was coming

it’s about the books? same as the movies

product lead apps, social, and creators @base

I saw some screen tests/ auditions (my friend works on the show) and they’re so good!

extremely blessed highly favored always grateful

something in the HP universe would def be fine

batman is a good point but those (director or lead actor) were mostly contained to 2-3 movies and well into the batman timeline. the HP leads were in 8(!) movies and started only a few years after the HP books themselves. those actor-character combos are *so* deeply entrenched in pop culture at this point

we’ll see. honestly the inner cynic in me is a bit skeptical bc of how much IP is recycled as a crutch and easy $ grab these days too

We’ll see — there’s been a variety of good takes on the same Batman universe (Burton, Nolan, The Penguin)

Might Harry Potter be versatile in this way, as a new folk tale that can spawn different takes?

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

stupid

I may watch it too but they will never replace the first crew.

jk

…rowling 

…but really fuck that bitch and anything she’s involved with

The actors speak out against the author’s bigotry and suddenly she trading up

I actually canceled my Max subscription today; I told them it was due to horrible casting on this series.

At least it's kinda novel accurate. Look at Hermione's front teeth ❤❤❤

We love kids shows... But do we really need another Harry Potter show?

will likely be like the TLOR series - will wait on if reviews are good to not have a bad adaption spoil my love for the story

Hermoine actually fits better like that to the original books, imo

Wow.  Well, no surprise that no one would be happy with the recasting.  I understand they’re world building more than the original movies.  I just hope they stay true to the main plot lines in the books like the original movies did.
