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?

Gonna laugh so hard when they turn the Weasleys black

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.

Forgetting the rule of TGD in media. Every character that is explicitly ginger must be cast as a black with a reddish wig

I don't think that's likely because Ron is a dumbass and his family are a bunch of frickups with too many kids, I'm pretty sure it's explicitly said at one point that they're on magical welfare? Blaque characters in current year slop TV must be geniuses with no flaws, you'd have to change everything about them.

Don't forget the new original female character who will out-girlboss Hermione. Possibly (at least heavily hinted to be) trans.

One of the side characters will be transed, maybe Lavender Brown (Ron's first girlfriend). Presumably Cho Chang will be renamed.

Rowling started saying Hermione was black a while ago, before her TERF drama ever started. If any character is getting race swapped, its her.

They've already done Black Hermione in the stage play, and TERF Mommy's opinions aren't gonna get much play if the writers can't even be bothered to read the books.
Any London household consisting of two married dentists and a single overachieving kid is like 90% certain to be Sexy Indian dudes.

Lmao imagine being this delusional. This won't "wake up" anyone because normal people literally don't care about whether Hermione's eyes are round or slits.

!neolibs what's the economics of the Wizarding world?
Does the Ministry of Magic control currency? Can't the alchemists simply turn goblin piss into gold? Does Hogwarts charges tuition fees?

The wizard world makes no logical sense and you just have to ignore it. Like the mom was shown literally conjuring food out of thin air but we're still supposed to believe they're dirt poor.

You cant conjure food out of thin air. It's the first of five exceptions to Gamp's Law of Elemental Transfiguration

I think the conjuring food out of thin air is just a dramatic effect and it really constitutes moving food that is already prepared from one place to another.

Yeah they have a kitchen full of elf slaves cooking all the food at Hogwarts and then it gets teleported onto the tables

Yet they can conjure water so I don't understand how they couldn't conjure other molecules or elements. How far down on the periodic table can they conjure?

The real reason the Weasleys were poor is so Harry Potter seems so hot shit and special by comparison. You really think they'll have a white guy continuously having to buy his BIPOC sidekick breakfast?

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.

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.
