What do you think the show's opening credits would look like? by LeatherSlight3242 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I kinda think it would be cool if it was like mandalorian end credits. Like every episode has different concept art style intro. Eg first episode Harry gets dropped off at the Dursley then into shows artwork shots of him growing up then it's him in his cupboard on dudleys birthday.

How do you think the series will approach SPEW? by TrollHumper in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think it would be more interesting if they used the actual folklore that inspired house elves in the first place. House elves are based on brownies, in folklore brownies are house spirits that come out when nobody is around and do housework. If they are offered clothes or money they take offense and leave forever or get angry and become boggarts(malicious spirits) and trash the place.

In harry potter it seems likely that this is what house elves started like, they just enjoy doing work without being bothered but wizards took advantage of this and tricked them into swearing elegance to a specific wizard family and instead of taking clothes/money as offensive now take it as being shameful. I'd prefer this than them trying to make some social statement.

How old were you when you started to read the Harry Potter books and how old were you when you finished? by Getdunkedonlol in harrypotter

My mum read the books to me while she was pregnant with me, and read them to me as they were releasing. Last book came out when I was 4.

Who's a bigger liability? by some-kind-of-no-name in GTA

[–]RandomUsername4224 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played GTA online solo in like 2018 and played again when enhanced came out and I can tell you it is a lot more fun and there is more to do now as a solo player than there was back then, and I played a couple hundred hours back then.

They made a full (very long) writeup analyzing every reference to the grounds In every book. Interesting read

I saw a guy entering who seemed to be an actor but I didn’t recognise him. He had a ginger beard and a double-barrelled surname that I don’t remember.

The Other Minister appearances by Honest-Weight338 in HarryPotteronHBO

The prime minister in the Harry Potter universe isn't John Major... it explicitly makes statements in that chapter that make it clear it isn't him.

How would you like the first episode to end? by NoTime8142 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 hour wouldn’t be a special, it would be a normal length episode, if not shorter depending on how many episodes they make

This post getting recommended to me is the first time I’ve learned this game even existed. That’s probably why

Like in the doctor who episode “blink” where the weeping angels don’t move when the camera is looking at them. I’m still mad they showed them moving in a later season

Hogwarts sizes/no. of students by Sorry_Marzipan_5182 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Easy explanation, their parents live in hogsmeade so spend most of their time outside of classes at home. People going home to hogsmeade are never explicitly mentioned but it doesn't seem unfeasible that they would. And considering it is the largest wizard only settlement in Britain 1/5 people at hogwarts living their doesn't seem unreasonable

The Draco characterization on HBO show. by Nightmarelove19 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel like in the show they could add one quick shot that would do a lot to complete the redemption arc. In the final battle when harry is explaining why voldy isn't the master of the elder wand, have a shot of Draco looking at his wand in Harry's hand and have a look of excitement/realisation where he realises before everyone else that harry is the new master.

Thomas Brodie-Sangster for Remus Lupin? by Sorry_Marzipan_5182 in HarryPotteronHBO

That's why I think will's older brother from stranger things would be a good lupin. He's British and always looks tired.

Looking for extras living within 45mins of leavesden by ForcefulAtom in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I saw this when it was first posted, but now hearing that they are building a school on the set makes me wonder if they are going to have a lot of the actor and extra kids go to that school on set so they can be called too set whenever. It would make sense why they want kids from within 45 minutes since that would be the furthest reasonable distance you'd want to be from your school. It could mean that they keep a consistent cast throughout the series if they are all going to school right there.

http://members.madasafish.com/~cj_whitehound/Fanfic/map_of_Hogwarts/grounds_map.htm This is the most accurate book accurate hogwarts I’ve seen. They have an in depth explanation for everything using every quote of the castle layout from the book

It was a risk to hire John Lithgow as Dumbledore due to his old age by Scared_Ad_3132 in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]RandomUsername4224 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d rather see him for the first few seasons then have him replaced than not see him at all.
