This is slavery at worst, a company town at best.

All this for an unnecessary retreading of shit we've already seen

I don't really see a problem

>Movies cut out a lot of important stuff
They really didnt. Goblet of fire is really the only one where they drop some plot critical scenes.
And deathly hallows misses a lot of exposition the rest of the books just cut trash like peeves or SPEW.
Either way theres not enough cut out to justify a seasons worth of television without tons of god awful filler.

>>212830181 (OP)
what happens when this show bombs in the first season

>>212830181 (OP)
They "plan" 10 seasons. Usually child actors in movies or shows have on set tutors because labor laws really limit how much they can work. If you have s show with dozens of kids might as well just facilitate it with a whole school.

Its streaming, its not about quality, its about filling the trough.
It will only last as long as zaslav if it is a real stinker. This was his mandate from when he first took over.

what are the odds that they change some things from the books/ movie?
i'm talking about stuff like expanding more on the students in the other houses and having characters that are important in later books appear earlier in the story
the first four books really only focused on gryffindor kids with a little bit of slytherin due to malfoy and cronies, but i think it might be a good idea to include luna and cedric a bit earlier to get some more ravenclaw and hufflepuff insight

it should probably be illegal to sign your kid up for an 8-10 year contract

not loving the epic shit out of Harry Potter is brown coded.

Do they not mean the Hogwarts set?

>>212830667
Doesn't this make you pro Harry Potter then?

I feel bad for these kids, whose careers will be ruined as soon as it starts.They'll be tied to this show for ten years with no chance of doing anything else, as it will take up too much of their time And when it's finally over, no one will be able to see them as anything more than those characters, they will be totally typecast and will not be taken seriously in any other film.

Do you really think brown Hermione will be called mudblood? Or black Snape will be bullied?

>>212831160
knowing how heavy handed bongistan is with these sorts of things they were probably chosen specifically because of those scenes
malfoy and james will be called racist because of the mudblood comments and bullying respectively
although snape will get it worse because he's a blackcel in addition to being a cuck

>>212830381
>>212830505
they cut out the part where Dumbledore asked calmly

>>212831253
Snape is also "never relax around blacks" and James hangs him from a tree. Snape is also basically a loser bitch, serving his white master Dumbledore.

>>212830381
The books are poorly written and get worse as the series goes on. I assume Rowling got more editorial control and people stopped proofing her prose as closely. HP is weird, like I recognize they're enjoyable books but there are a lot of people who treat them as this towering literary achievement and I don't get that.

>>212831009
you feel bad for kids who will be retired at 18 years old while you slave away hoping to retire at 75?

>>212832938
They always do. Somehow studio execs just know.

>>212831009
Realistically the show will be shit and everyone will stop watching after the first season like every other show that gets made nowadays

Builds? They all have tutors so it's just a dedicated space.

it's just a side effect of being famous as a kid. There's no way to prevent that unless you just want to ban child actors altogether.

well I can promise you that the actors wouldn't trade that to being a broke regular person despite any mental issues they get.

I feel so sorry for the children in this show who are going to be millionaires by 20 and have all the bitches even if they're ugly as hell

>>212830381
Yeah the movies were off, but only by around 10-15% from the original books, and all of that portion was by far the least essential shit from the plot.

This is like if WB went "Tom Bombadil and the Scouring of the Shire were an essential part of the Lord of the Rings saga and should not have been left out of the movies, and so we've decided to re-adapt the books into a four season TV show for the sake of artistic integrity and definitely not because we want to be able to continue to milk a dormant IP"

>>212837925
Yeah, unlike the movies that added it's own important stuff like uh...the shoelace scene in half blood prince and uh.....

>>212837925
There are a few jokes in there but Voldemort's entire backstory and his fear of death is an important aspect of the books that the movies completely eviscerated because Voldemort just comes off as an evil murder hobo that wants to take over the world.
The movies also never explained that James was an animagus alongside the rest of the marauders and why they became one in the first place.
They also cut out dobby's appearances in the middle books which makes his death in Deathly hallows part 1 not hit hard enough.
And I will never stop seething over them cutting out the Quidditch world tournament
