Here's the jannied thread
https://old.reddit.com/r/harrypotter/comments/1g15ra5/witcher_20_and_rings_of_power_level_failure/
They're comparing it to the Witcher and Rings of Power lmao
!bookworms do HPcels deserve it?
What do you guys think they'll change? Harry being gay for Ron? Voldemort r*pes Lily Potter before killing her? Snape is Harry's father?
What a fricking joke, I'm so disappointed. The only reason I'm rooting for this show and backing it is because it was supposed to be a more faithful adaptation.
They won't be able to outdo the movies if they just redo all their mistakes.
I want to see more Dobby, I want to meet Winky, I want to see Bagman, I want to get all those random chapters from OOTP that added literally nothing but were so fun to read, I want to see all the Voldemort memories from HBP, I want to have the fricking mystery from GOF for fricks sake, they cut out the most important aspect of that book. I don't want anything left out, I want to see the books on the big screen.
I want literally everything they decided wasn't important enough to include the first time. I'm so upset by this, I really hope they come to their senses.
AAAAAGGHHH I NEED TO SEE MORE OF DOBBERYNO
Rings of Power cares about the source, they just don't have access to it so they are doing the best that they can for a property the creators love. It would be much, much worse in other people's hands.
LMAO, !ringbearers imagine believing this?
Why is TERF mommy allowing her IP to be r*ped?

They really don't, all they have to do is make it faithful but just a touch more in depth and it's built in fanbase will make it overwhelmingly popular. For a franchise like this there's really no need besides vanity to try and change things to appeal to the general audience, the general audience already likes it

It's stated in the books that magic cannot create currency, unlike the federal reserve, the exception to this is the Philosophers Stone.
The value of the wizard money is arbitrary and never made it consistent.
I think Hogwarts is a public school, which is why the Ministry of Magic is even important at all in the books, so their is no tuition, but students have to buy all of their supplies.

said it before but i think the likely Diversity is going to be:
1. Harry's biracial, Lily Potter is a white muggle and James is a black magic Kang.
2. Hermione's South Asian of some type
3. The Weasely's remain dumb poor white trash gingers
The Death Eaters will all be white, at least one of the main teacher characters will be black. Dumbledore will be openly gay.
Honestly curious to see what they'll do with Voldemort.

Hermione will be black, not the Weasleys. Harry will be white, since they need the white male lead to get people to watch. Since Harry ends up with Ginny and Harry is going to be white, Ginny is guaranteed to be nonwhite. My bet is they make the Weasleys Indian.

How? We've got the goddarn director saying Galadriel is in love with Halbrand, we have the idiot showrunners giggling that Sauron and Celebrimbor are in a romantic relationship, they invented new original crappy characters all over the place, they've ignored the timeline and plot (and yeah, I know they have to compress the timeline to fit everything in, but not this badly).
The only way it could be worse is if they got George R.R. Martin to do it, as hardcore overt anti-Tolkien, and frankly I don't think even he would frick it up that much more badly.
