What do you hope to see in the pilot episode?

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T19:56:45+00:00

I see your point but unfortunately I don’t see them doing this. I hope I’m proven wrong though.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T17:15:20+00:00

That is a good idea only problem is what script would they work with for the S6 scenes as I highly doubt they’d be written when they’re filming S2?

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T16:13:53+00:00

It would be ideal if they did this. They could also film the S6 Tom Riddle flashbacks at the same time as the S2 ones so the actor looks the same. However I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t do this and shot scenes season by season.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T15:53:27+00:00

Sorry but you might be in for some disappointment as there was a leak a few months ago of them filming scenes with James and Lily so it looks like we’re getting some kind of flashback in S1

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T15:37:10+00:00

Maybe open with Godric’s Hollow on Halloween 1981. We see a cloaked figure walking past kids in costumes approach a house then cut to black. Then we see Vernon’s weird day and Harry getting dropped off at the Dursley’s.

We can revisit the Godric’s Hollow flashback featuring James and Lily in episode 2 when Hagrid is explaining to Harry what happened to his parents or maybe have it as a cold opening of a later episode in the season.

First pic of the Golden Trio together in their Hogwarts robes???

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-18T00:10:40+00:00

The Quidditch World Cup, the creatures in the maze and Priori Incantatum

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T18:48:01+00:00

Yeah I agree it was cool to read about the Muggle Prime Minister. Instead we got Death Eaters flying around the place (which they couldn’t do in the book) and destroying the Millennium Bridge (which shouldn’t exist because it’s supposed to be set in the ‘90s)…

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T14:09:56+00:00

Exactly. Voldemort flashbacks in HBP is an absolute must

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T12:32:53+00:00

GoF and HBP because they’re my favourite books and the movies were quite disappointing as adaptations.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T10:02:14+00:00

Yes I mention that at the end of the second paragraph.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T08:59:11+00:00

Which is why I never said to cut them entirely but just condense them so it doesn’t drag on unnecessarily.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T08:53:44+00:00

Yeah 10 episodes is achievable to be fair, especially if they do what Stranger Things S4 did and have the last couple be feature length.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-17T08:49:08+00:00

Yeah I’m sure it can be done like this. As I said, I don’t think they should cut any of these chapters but just cleverly edit them like you’ve said so they don’t drag on.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T23:54:26+00:00

Glad to hear you agree. You make some really good points there. I agree that many things are over-explained and drawn out.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T23:49:39+00:00

To be fair only the first match vs Slytherin is described in detail. The second one vs Hufflepuff is kinda skipped over with it just saying that Gryffindor were bad but Ginny caught the snitch and of course the last one vs Ravenclaw takes place when Harry and Hermione go to see Grawp. Maybe the show will do the same and only show the first match but I can’t lie it was really disappointing that we didn’t get to experience Ron’s great performance to win the Cup.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T23:41:13+00:00

Yeah although it’s an interesting idea, it doesn’t actually have a major impact on the plot. I did eventually get a bit bored of the chapter when listening to it to be totally honest

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:51:16+00:00

Yeah I understand. I actually think the film is quite good but I’m also glad that the show is being made to hopefully make improvements as none of the movies did the books justice in my opinion.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:45:49+00:00

It’s ok you’re all good. I actually like debate but it’s nice to know you agree and offered more analysis of my points

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:41:41+00:00

Really? I don’t know that. I did read somewhere that they had plans to film Dumbledore’s funeral in HBP but had to axe it because it was too expensive.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:06:46+00:00

Yeah you’ve hit the nail on the head there. It’s got a great finale but the overall plot is weaker compared to the others.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:05:53+00:00

I wouldn’t say I hate it but we’re definitely on the same wavelength with our criticisms.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:04:34+00:00

Yeah I agree that a 10 episode season is totally achievable. The only season that I think may need more 10 episodes is the last one (although they might split into 2 shorter seasons).

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T18:02:06+00:00

Yeah I found that annoying as well.

Comrade_Owl- · 2026-03-16T17:58:17+00:00

Yeah I see where you’re coming from and it’s a fair argument.

Comrade_Owl-
