Rupert Grint - true HP icon

Rupert Grint is the only Harry Potter actor who is mentioned by his own name. No new adaptation of the series can top this fact.

Harry Potter TV Series: what you need to know

The upcoming Harry Potter TV series is a highly anticipated project that will adapt J.K. Rowling's beloved book series for the small screen. The series is moving from the Max streaming service to HBO and is expected to premiere in 2026.

The series will feature a new cast and will adapt each of the seven Harry Potter books into a separate season, with the goal of providing a more faithful and in-depth retelling of the story compared to the film adaptations. Francesca Gardiner, known for her work on Succession, has been tapped as the showrunner, and Emmy-winning director Mark Mylod will helm multiple episodes as an executive producer.

J.K. Rowling will be involved in the project as an executive producer, and she has expressed excitement about the series' potential to delve deeper into the books' rich narrative and characters.The series aims to capture the magic of the Wizarding World while introducing it to a new generation of viewers.

While the original Harry Potter film cast, including Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint, have become iconic, the TV series will feature a completely new ensemble of actors.[3] This presents both a challenge and an opportunity, as the new cast will need to win over fans while also potentially bringing a fresh perspective to the characters.

Overall, the Harry Potter TV series is poised to be a major event for fans of the franchise, offering a chance to experience the Wizarding World in a new and potentially more expansive format. With a talented creative team and the full support of HBO and Warner Bros. Discovery, the series has the potential to become a new classic for both longtime fans and newcomers alike.

The upcoming Harry Potter TV series is expected to differ from the film adaptations in several key ways:

Faithfulness to the books: The series aims to provide a more faithful and in-depth adaptation of the Harry Potter books, with each of the seven novels being adapted into a separate season. This will allow the show to include more details, characters, and storylines that were omitted from the films.

Younger cast: Unlike the films, which aged up the characters, the TV series will feature a cast that is closer in age to the characters in the books. This means we'll see younger versions of characters like Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Severus Snape.

Expanded Wizarding World: The series will likely explore more of the Wizarding World beyond just Hogwarts, including introducing characters and settings from the other magical schools like Beauxbatons and Durmstrang.

Voldemort's backstory: The show is expected to delve deeper into Voldemort's (also known as Tom Riddle) backstory and humanity, exploring his time at Borgin and Burkes and his potential for redemption.

Portrayal of witches: The series aims to give more prominent and nuanced roles to the female characters, such as Hermione, Fleur, and Tonks, who were sometimes sidelined in the films.

Overall, the Harry Potter TV series is poised to offer a fresh take on the beloved Wizarding World, providing fans with a more comprehensive and faithful adaptation of the source material.

# Why The New Harry Potter TV Series Might Not Live Up to Expectations

In the world of fantasy literature, few series have managed to captivate audiences and create a global phenomenon quite like J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter. The seven books followed the magical journey of Harry, Ron, and Hermione through their years at Hogwarts, and their struggle against the dark wizard Voldemort. The series' popularity led to eight successful film adaptations, theme parks, spin-off books, movies, and even a stage play.

The Harry Potter films, released between 2001 and 2011, were a massive success, grossing billions of dollars worldwide, and creating stars out of the young cast - Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint. Their performances, along with those of the rest of the cast, became so iconic that for many fans, they are the definitive interpretations of those characters.

Now, there are plans to create a Harry Potter TV series. While this might initially seem like an exciting prospect for fans, there are several reasons why it might not live up to the high bar set by the books and the original films.

## 1. The Films Were Already Perfect

The Harry Potter films were meticulously crafted, with a high level of detail that brought the magic of the books to life. The majestic Hogwarts castle, the thrilling Quidditch matches, the terrifying creatures and spells - all were visually stunning and exceeded the expectations of fans. This can make it difficult for a new adaptation to compete.

Moreover, the films were not just about spectacle, they also captured the emotional depth and complexity of the characters and their relationships. The performances of the actors, especially the trio of Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint, were spot on, making us laugh, cry, and cheer them on.

## 2. Difficulty in Recasting Iconic Characters

The characters of Harry, Ron, and Hermione are deeply ingrained in the public consciousness. For many, Daniel Radcliffe is Harry Potter, Emma Watson is Hermione Granger, and Rupert Grint is Ron Weasley. Any new actors in these roles will inevitably be compared to their predecessors, making it a herculean task to make these characters their own. Capturing the same chemistry and camaraderie that the original trio had will be a tall order.

## 3. Oversaturation and Franchise Fatigue

The Harry Potter universe has already been extensively explored through various mediums. Beyond the original seven books and eight films, there have been spin-off books, films (Fantastic Beasts series), a stage play (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child), video games, and more. The world of Harry Potter is rich and expansive, but there is a risk of oversaturation. The audience might already be experiencing franchise fatigue, making them less inclined to engage with a new series.

In conclusion, while a Harry Potter TV series might seem like a good idea on paper, it has significant hurdles to overcome. The original films were so successful and beloved that any new adaptation will inevitably be compared to them, and may not stand up to scrutiny. The characters are so iconic that recasting them will be a monumental task, and with the franchise already so expansive, there is a risk of oversaturation and franchise fatigue. Only time will tell if the series can overcome these challenges and capture the magic of the original books and films.

For those who grew up in the 2000s, waiting for the next Harry Potter film installment was a thrilling and unifying experience. As kids all around the world flocked to their local theaters with wands in hand, Harry and his fantastical friends reminded us of the magical powers of friendship, bravery, and love. While the movies got progressively darker as the characters grew up and had to battle ever-looming forces of evil, the first films remain pillars of delightful, whimsical escapism — save for the near-deaths of multiple twelve-year-olds — and this is largely thanks to director Chris Columbus. What many people don’t know, however, is that Columbus passed on another once-in-a-lifetime directorial opportunity for Potter, turning down the Spider-Man franchise in favor of the wizarding world.

Chris Columbus Chose To Direct 'Harry Potter' Over 'Spider-Man’

Known for writing and/or directing hit movies like The Goonies, Home Alone, and Mrs. Doubtfire, by the time the early aughts rolled around, Columbus was no stranger to working with kids and yielding great results. Having been persuaded by his daughter to read the Harry Potter books (at which time only the first three had been released), Columbus immediately had a vision for the films and wanted a shot at directing the now-iconic series. According to The Hollywood Reporter, after hearing that there were many others eager to helm the franchise, Columbus requested that his agent secure him the final meeting with the film’s executives. He presented a “130-page document-slash-screenplay” outlining his vision for the movie, and long story short, the powers that be were very impressed with the eager director. Columbus secured the gig and went on to direct both Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone and Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets.

However, Columbus revealed in an interview with Screen Rant that right after he landed Harry Potter, he got the offer to direct Spider-Man. Having grown up a huge Marvel fan and citing Spider-Man as one of his childhood heroes, getting the chance to re-introduce the web-slinger to the silver screen seems like it would be a no-brainer for Columbus. Nevertheless, while he acknowledged that directing Spider-Man would probably be the realization of a lifelong dream, he went with Harry Potter and never looked back. Sam Raimi was hired to captain the Spidey ship, and the rest is history. Even though it was undoubtedly a tough call, Columbus has no regrets, and said in the special Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts that working on Harry Potter was “the greatest experience of [his] life.”

Columbus Expertly Captured the Joy and Whimsy of ‘Harry Potter’

While it couldn’t have been easy missing out on Spider-Man, there’s no denying that Chris Columbus was the right man to direct the first two Harry Potter films. In Return to Hogwarts, Columbus got to reunite with Harry Potter himself (Daniel Radcliffe), and the two discussed their work on Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets. Although you’d never know it when watching the behind-the-scenes footage, Columbus confessed to Radcliffe that while working on the first Harry Potter, he was incredibly nervous and felt like he was “dying.” This is definitely understandable given that he was responsible for setting the tone in a massive franchise, but Columbus ensured that his anxieties wouldn’t bleed over and impact the kids on set. Many of the stars of Harry Potter, including Robbie Coltrane, Tom Felton, and of course, the golden trio of Rupert Grint, Emma Watson, and Radcliffe, complimented Columbus’s knack for working with the young performers on set, saying that he made them feel safe and let the kids be kids. While “letting the kids be kids” resulted in a lot of long days and re-shoots given that the kids in question were exploding with excitement at all times, Columbus’s good nature evidently contributed to the youthful, nostalgic feeling that is so well-executed in the first films.

Beyond just his personable directing style, Columbus’s creative eye greatly influenced the look of the Harry Potter movies. From real stone floors to real, lit candles dangling from the ceiling on fishing lines, the director’s commitment to making Hogwarts feel grounded in reality despite the magical elements made the stories feel all the more real to both the actors involved, and the devoted viewers. Despite the success of the first two Harry Potter films, however, Columbus seemed to recognize that all good things must come to an end, and he bequeathed his directorial duties to Alfonso Cuarón for the third installment, Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. Columbus revealed to The Hollywood Reporter that filming the first two Harry Potter films took upwards of 320 days, and that he felt that he was missing out on watching his kids grow up. He went on to serve as a producer on the third film to help maintain a better work-life balance, but afterward, the director hung up his pointy black wizard’s hat and walked away from the franchise for good.

The Director Isn’t a Fan of the ‘Harry Potter’ Reboot at Max

Harry Potter is soon to be getting a polarizing facelift in the form of a reboot TV series, the likes of which we know very little about. What we do know, however, is that Chris Columbus isn’t a huge fan of the idea, not seeing the point in remaking a franchise that has already been done well (which, as we know, has never stopped the studios before). Furthermore, given author J.K. Rowling’s disappointing tailspin into transphobia, continuing to expand the Harry Potter franchise has brought up difficult but important conversations about just how far we’re willing to go to separate the art from the artist.

While it sucks that a franchise that brought comfort and hope to so many has been marred by its creator’s hateful statements, Columbus’s Harry Potter movies continue to exist as joyful celebrations of friendship and resilience. For many fans, Harry Potter still offers an unparalleled escape from the hardships of the everyday muggle existence, and we’ll always be grateful that Columbus decided to leave the Spider-Man movies to Sam Raimi, who got to forge another iconic film franchise in his own right. While the Harry Potter frenzy shows no signs of stopping, Columbus left his own indelible mark on the franchise, and all we can say is, mischief managed.

Top 5 underrated performances, top 5 movie soundtracks (non-musicals)

Oooooohhhh....

Top Five Underrated Performances:

Cary Grant in The Philadelphia Story

I don't think anyone ever thought of his performance as bad, it's just that his role is much less showy compared to James Stewart's...there's just a bit less for him to do...but there are some real subtle moments in his performance, and he never fails to make me laugh.

Robin Williams in Insomnia

I've praised this movie so often, there's not too much new to say...but this was some of his best work. Everyone talks about One Hour Photo and how creepy he is in that...but there's something about his performance in this movie that really gets under your skin. It's one of those where you notice something new every time...he is so understated and introverted, you almost can't believe that he's a murderer...but when you start to delve deeper, you can see just how dangerous he is.

Topol in Fiddler on the Roof

This is one of the best movie musical performances ever put on screen and I feel like it's barely ever talked about. People bring up Gene Kelly, Fred Astaire, Judy Garland, etc...but they always seem to forget about Topol. Maybe it's because this movie was made in the 1970's when movie musicals were on their way out...but his performance is extraordinary and it cannot be beat.

Audrey Hepburn in The Nun's Story

Now, this movie did net Audrey another Oscar nomination...but in terms of her filmography, I feel like this one tends to be overlooked. Maybe it's the subject matter, maybe it's the length, but people don't talk about this one as much...and they should. This is definitely her most subtle performance and it shows just how good of an actress she was, and not just a fashion icon.

Rupert Grint in The Harry Potter Series

Poor Ron...he's always overlooked. I always thought he was the strongest actor out of the main trio and yet he always had the least to do. It wasn't until the final couple films that they realized they needed to give him more substantive scenes...even though he still sort of came off as a third wheel.

Top Five (non-musical) Movie Scores:

The Adventures of Robin Hood

I mean...duh...this is one of the greatest action/adventure scores of all time.

How to Steal a Million

John Williams has so many incredible scores to his name...but this one holds a place in my heart, because we don't see (or rather, hear) much like this from too often. It's just so fun!

Clue

Another one that is just so much fun! That main theme is so catchy and perfect set up for what we're in for!

Psycho

Probably the most iconic horror movie score of all time...oft imitated, never matched.

Sense & Sensibility

This one is just so soothing to me...it creates such a romantic sweeping feel...and I've also used some of the tracks for sleep playlists.

Thanks for asking!
