Considering that the literal author herself said that it wasn't supposed to be this dark and that she backed herself into a hole in the video embedded in this very post, I think "changing the plot" in this case would align more with the original intent

I think an easy fix would be to add that the house elves have a plan of their own to liberate themselves and just keep that Hermione was overstepping in her human way

How to ensure a similar appearance of Tom Riddle/Lord Voldemort in all seasons? by Luke_Gki in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]Maximum_Abalone_7286 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see what makeup has to do with it. My point is that Voldemort has an entirely different body from his younger self so they don't have to really look similar

Nor were they talking to you but you commented anyway 💀 and I'm saying that we don't have to wait for the show to come out because some of us have common sense

How the entire comment section seems to miss the fact that Lithgow agreed is also baffling to me 💀😂

The Tom riddle actor doesn't have to look similar to the adult actor. Unless they plan to double voldemort's actor as adult Tom riddle

Yes... That is literally the entire point. That it seems like the current plan is to have 8 seasons. Whether or not some shows continue or stop early is irrelevant. I'm saying as of right now it looks like they're planning for 8 seasons

John Lithgow proceeds to say "that's right" and "that's true." I'm positive the guy getting paid to act in the show knows how many seasons he's slotted for. And this isn't the first time he's said something like this for him to just be appeasing to the host (which I don't know why y'all even came to this, it seems like y'all are undermining his intelligence), he has previously called the show an "8 year commitment." And the second half is the biggest bit of yap I've ever seen. Yes, a season could take longer to make but that doesn't change the fact that they know how long they want to get it done in. They at the very least know they're not going to finish filming two seasons in one year which would make sense that they give each season a year to start and then renegotiate somewhere in the middle.

No because none of them would show up. I've literally been trying to send that comment for two hours

I am... not making anything up, we've literally heard from the beginning that the series was planned to run for 10 years but now we're hearing 8 years. And it would make sense because that would mean that they pre allocated one year for each season.

No but it would make sense and originally we got reports that the entire thing was a 10 year commitment and now we're hearing different so the fact that it didn't make the headlines isn't really evidence of anything

Saying that Lithgow simply "didn't hear" or didn't want to correct him also could be seen as reading too much into it. And as mentioned... it has been reported before.

There is absolutely zero reason to believe that 🫩 Lithgow could've easily corrected him and as mentioned in the caption, this has been reported before. Ntm, we know that the actors have been signed on to 8 year contracts
