does harry potter need a reboot?

The first 3 weren't diverse enough. They need more diversity.

Yes. Hermione is actually black. This needs to be corrected immediately.

Of course and it should be done with an all male cast

Warner brothers capeshit universe seems to have done a 180 so your tumblr series won't be rebooted for maybe another 10 or so years

Yes, with hotter kids who will age better.

Yes, the actors weren't good-looking enough and there weren't enough explosions.

Yes, with Blackoine and Dumbledore walking around with anal beads hanging out of his ass

Harry should be in a wheelchair from Voldemort instead of just a scare, disabled need more representation

Why would anyone reboot the Harry Potter franchise, the dullest franchise in the history of movie franchises!? Seriously, each episode following the boy wizard and his pals from Hogwarts Academy as they fight assorted villains has been indistinguishable from the others. Aside from the gloomy imagery, the series’ only consistency has been its lack of excitement and ineffective use of special effects, all to make magic unmagical, to make action seem inert.

Perhaps the die was cast when Rowling vetoed the idea of Spielberg directing the series; she made sure the series would never be mistaken for a work of art that meant anything to anybody?just ridiculously profitable cross-promotion for her books. The Harry Potter series might be anti-Christian (or not), but it’s certainly the anti-James Bond series in its refusal of wonder, beauty and excitement. No one wants to face that fact. Now, thankfully, they no longer have to.

>a-at least the books were good though r-right
"No!"
The writing is dreadful; the book was terrible. As I read, I noticed that every time a character went for a walk, the author wrote instead that the character "stretched his legs."

I began marking on the back of an envelope every time that phrase was repeated. I stopped only after I had marked the envelope several dozen times. I was incredulous. Rowling's mind is so governed by cliches and dead metaphors that she has no other style of writing. Later I read a lavish, loving review of Harry Potter by the same Stephen King. He wrote something to the effect of, "If these kids are reading Harry Potter at 11 or 12, then when they get older they will go on to read Stephen King." And he was quite right. He was not being ironic. When you read "Harry Potter" you are, in fact, trained to read Stephen King.

It will never get a reboot because WB owns the movie license and the Universal Parks are all theme directly off the movies.

It would be like rebooting Star Wars.

unironically, it'll probably get one after the Fantastic Beast movies are over. I think it'd be better suited to a BBC series with every book taking place over a season.

>>84405693
It really needs to be an HBO show. I love the originals though and those three will always be Harry, Ron, and Hermione in my mine.

>>84405693
Yeah, sure. Why not.

Can you even remake these movies? I feel like the original cast is so iconic. I guess i'm only saying that because I grew up with them but I can't even imagine what a reboot would even look like.

>>84405693
I mean, does it NEED one? Not really. But as much as I enjoyed watching the originals, they aren't particularly spectacular movies. It's not as if they couldn't be done better, given a chance. Make it a TV show though, with each season being one book. They're just too long to be done adequately in film, and all of the movies feel uneven because of it.

>>84409343
Nature is already slowly eliminating them from the gene pool. Gingers will be extinct within the next few hundred generations, supposedly.

Why is JK trying to adopt American social issues? There are a tiny number of black people in Britain, literally 3%. She should be some kind of Asian more realistically.

>I feel like the original cast is so iconic. I guess i'm only saying that because I grew up

You're correct. I didn't see most of the movies until I was well into my twenties (grew up reading the first few books, and I saw the first two in theaters, but avoided the rest), and they aren't great. They aren't BAD, but they aren't spectacular either. I think if you were to watch them twenty years from now having now cultural context, you really wouldn't get what all the fuss was about.

>>84409583
I don't really read any of her comments as insinuating that her vision for the Hermione character was that she was always intended to be black, just that she didn't give a shit that they cast a black woman in the play. Granted, she did not cast that play, and it would sound really shitty for her to come out and denounce it from a PR standpoint. The Internet flipped a shit, and she attempted to tell them to calm down without wanting to sound shitty about it.

That's the way I interpreted it, anyway. I could be off base.

>>84409569

>>84409400

>>84409858
well, why do they?

>>84410026
They don't identify with the muggles. Like every example of the hero's journey, they identify with the protagonist. Does that mean they think they're Wizards? No, but it is fun to read about someone special. If you want to write a book about a normal mundane person doing normal mundane things, you're perfectly welcome to do so, but history tends to indicate that those kinds of things don't sell very well.

>>84410118
ah so they just pretend to be better instead of actually trying to be, gotcha
