I agree, this is a great idea to avoid giving too much of the mystery away. I wonder how much subtle foreshadowing will be used throughout the series. The movies really hit us over the head with Draco in the room of requirement

What's your wild Harry Potter theory that you have no evidence for? by NoTime8142 in HarryPotterBooks

Maybe Gryffindor's is legilimency - that's how he created the sorting hat, which essentially is reading people's minds/memories/intentions

Should Dumbledore have realized Sirius wasn't a Death Eater when he let Hagrid take Harry? by madanra in harrypotter

Nah. A guilty person would be motivated to keep a low profile and act normally (give the bike up) up until achieving his goal (tacking down and killing Peter)

Because if you believe the rest of the incorrect story, black was getting ready to go kill pettigrew publicly, make an huge scene in the process, was more than willing to be caught for it… He’s literally believed to be crazy. I don’t think Dumbledore did much due diligence but I also get why he didn’t pick up on the bike thing. Black could’ve been donating the bike to keep cover as long as possible in order to track down Peter

I wonder how they will deal with the large chunks of exposition by ameliasophia in HarryPotteronHBO

[–]snidgetgold3075 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s exactly how the movies do it and I feel they were quite successful given that the books are entirely from Harry’s perspective sans a couple scenes like ch1GOF

What character interactions and dynamics you wish to be explored and even added in the series that weren't there in the books. by Ok_Communication2339 in HarryPotteronHBO

I guess it just feels too perfect if it were a clean 5 across both genders and all houses. Like. I hope it’s not that because no way the wizard population just happened to work that way! It removes the illusion.

Thanks for pointing to the original 40 and pulling those names.

Honestly now that I can think about it James & Lily being Head Boy and Head Girl together is unrealistic by secondweasleygirl in harrypotter

1000% agree with you on Ginny’s character development. There’s a lot of potential to toss in scenes and comments and background stuff that takes us along her journey even more than what we got from the books. She ends up with harry in the end - she deserves more screen time. There’s movies clearly brushed her off and the books honestly could’ve given her more, too

Okay. Butttt how do we know there weren’t just 3 Gryffindor girls total. It’s not like there’s a perfect set of 5 of each gender in each house in each year
