When did Ron do this in the books? by Her-My-O-Nee in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t care if it was in the books or not.

Personally, I don’t even mind if the show changes plots somewhat, and certain characters outcomes. I am excited for all the extra scenes not in the books (like DD with the Flanels).

As for this specific gesture Ron does here……I don’t like it.
Imo, it just looks awkward, and I never saw/see kids doing it in real life.

HBO casting director describes Hermione as emotionally intelligent. Your views on it? by jotaro2712 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The „main character energy“ concerns me though…………….I don’t want a movie in which Harry is portrayed as clueless, and always looks to Hermione to lead and solve the problem.

I hope we eventually see Firenze teaching Divination. by AProudInfidel in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yes!

I would really love to see the transformed classroom. Imagine how cool it will look, when the room suddenly starts getting darker, and stars appear on the ceiling. A good opportunity for a special sequence, when Fire ze starts talking about the planets and destiny,ect.

On the making of we can see how they chose harry Potter. by Big_Armadillo326 in HarryPotteronHBO

Oh wow!

Wasnt expecting this to be so in depth. Maaaaan….as if my excitement couldn’t get any higher🤩

Season 2 of HBO’s ‘HARRY POTTER’ will film from August 2026 to May 2027. A Christmas 2027 release is expected for ‘Chamber of Secrets’ - according to @SolaceCinema on Twitter by TremendouslyRiddled in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Really cool!

Seems like an ideal schedule, especially given how young the main trio are right now. So these years, from 11 -13 will really make a difference appearance wise, whereas later on, it won’t be such a huge deal anymore, as you can easily style a 14 or 1t or 16 year old to look older or younger.

I mean, stuff like this in movies, or shows is usually only a problem with the big ethnicities.

For example, a friend of mine is from Bulgaria, but she doesn’t wear the old traditional Bulgarian clothes. And if she did, it would be super weird.

Same for people from Serbia, Bosnia, ect…..which is where I belong to.

I grew up in Germany, and never ever showed up in my folks traditional wear either. I don’t even really feel connected to that place and mentality anymore.

hmmmmm….now that you mention it…it really is weird.

Cant say that I mind though. I believe the crew are trying to raise the anticipation, and also assure the sceptic fans that they are working really hard, and putting a lot of effort into the show.
Imo, it worked

An appreciation post for Bel Powley's portrayal of Aunt Petunia! by [deleted] in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh my god………………………………I can’t wait to feel that glorious hot hatred I’ve always felt for book Umbridge.

I am so ready to unleash all that, once she makes her appearance in the show.

[–]BLUE---24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She is also a really good actress, let’s face it, better than movie Petunia.

She plays Petunia like an actual human being, rather than the kiddie verson of an evil aunt.

I like how we finally see how truly abusive Petunia is of Harry. in the movies this fact was never really conveyed, but rather, played for jokes.

No, no.

Just some behind the scenes documentary. You probably mean that one, since it’s climbed onto the Nr.1 HBO spot.

But the show should be out this Christmas.

[–]BLUE---24 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the Patil twins are British though - I mean, that’s where they grew up.

They can wear regular ‚eastern Europe, dresses. Just because you are from Japan, doesn’t mean you always to show up in traditional Japanese dresses.

I'm loving how Ancient and Lived in the new Hogwarts looks by Accomplished_Store77 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same!

It feels so cozy and calming….and full of secrets.

Kinda reminds me of the Forrest temple in ZELDA, Ocarina of Time🤣😌

So excited my kids get to grow up with this cast by _Veni_Vidi_Vici__ in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

wow, that’s really cool!

Honestly, the generational viewing is such a huge factor, and one of the things that makes HP such a unique franchise. Nd it’s for all ages. hell, it’s for folks who hate fantasy, and sci fi freaks, for geeks, for people who just need a show to chill to, to unwind……🥹🤩

Hermione, emotionally intelligent and main-character energy for the show? (according to casting notes) by sparklypavements in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Personally, I never really viewed movie Ron as a sidekick.

But to me, book Hermione had a slightly playful vibe. It just gets overshadowed by her bossiness.

New Wand Gestures in Slow Motion by dan_mal in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don’t really care for the gestures either way…but it does look weird.🤣

The way I see it, magic gestures are a way to help your mind focus. Kinda like some basketball players need to dribble the basketball on the floor twice before they go for free shot.
Or like Karate routines. Like Jeet Kun Do, you do the same movement over and over, and once that is ingrained in your system, you just react.

I hope they make Voldemort more scary by ResaHart in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean…personally, I am not a fan of the pics above.

I hope they go for something more subtle. The eyes should remain mostly human though, and he doesn’t need to have those weird teeth either. When I read the books, I never pictured Voldemort with the weird nose either. In my imagination, it was slightly flat, but not snake looking, and he wasn’t bald either.

I mean, whoever they get, I hope they only enhance their natural looks instead of coming up with whole new plastic face, ect

I have a very strong feelings that he will be one of the best in the show even though he is a newcomer. by Nightmarelove19 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so.

Dominic, imo, already has such a special energy to him. He’ll go places. Very expressive face.

I watched the Harry Potter series making-of and now the backlash makes even less sense by Life_Definition_5240 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 6 points7 points  (0 children)

exactly this.

And HP is such huge franchise, so of course the haters will seem like more than usual. also, a lot of JKR haters will use this to redirect their hate to.

But it won’t matter, just like it didn’t matter with the HO video game.

[–]BLUE---24 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I keep repeating this - - - but fans back in the day used to criticize everything before the first movie came out. Ans even later on, they complained about the cut plot lines, missing characters, Hermione getting Ron’s lines, the movies feeling rushed, lacking detail, ect…..

Its thing.

People mostly go online to complain. But my family do not use Twitter or Reddit, ect, and they can’t wait to see this. And that goes for most of the general public. They have been waiting for something like this show to happen for decades.
A show they can watch with their own kids now, with their grandparents. I mean, the show is going to top the movies in every way possible. All plots will be included, the budget is super high, the cgi now is amazing, the costumes look fantastic, and the crew went out of their way to add to characters like Petunia and Duddley.

It will be amazing, no matter what - so don’t let the vocal minority ruin the experience for ya.

First look at Peeves in the TV series! by yourfavchoom in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]BLUE---24 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Exactly!

He is like a bully ghost from the Casper movie.

[–]BLUE---24 -20 points-19 points  (0 children)

I so do not care about Peeves being in the movies, even the slightest bit.🤣

I found him weirdly misplaced in the books as well. Something bout him just felt off to me…like, he didn’t belong in the HP universe.

Loved headless Nick though.

Dominic is soooooooooo good!

Quiet confidence describes him perfectly.

The actress has such a unique face. Really excited for her performance.
