I saw this article and I agree with it on the most part.
So this got me thinking, what do the fans want/expect from the reboot?
One thing they should consider trying is race blind casting like what they're doing with Percy Jackson and the Olympians. How someone looks does not matter as much as how well they act.
I know a lot of people would have wanted Harry Potter spin-offs over the upcoming reboot TV show. Spin-offs like The Cursed Child, The Founders, Young Snape, the Marauder's Map, etc. But I think the upcoming TV show is a good thing for people who want these spin-offs. Let me explain. 1, In season 2 (The Chamber of Secrets), We could see a brief flashback to the time of the founders, to explain the story of the Chamber of Secrets. The showrunners could use this to be the base of a spin-off TV show or miniseries based on the founders. 2, The Cursed Child. This one is simple, make the cursed child into season 8. They simply have to recast Harry and co. with older actors. 3, Young Snape and the Marauder's map. these two (while interesting) wouldn't be good/big enough for a standalone film or TV show. But, in season 6 (Half-Blood Prince), we could get a whole episode focused on a young Snape, and other things like that throughout the series. So, the upcoming TV series could give us everything we've asked for.

Of course these are just my opinions.
Do any of you at all suppose that maybe the characters' film portrayals' portraits will have to be replaced with those of the program's portrayals' portraits? After just watching its announcement trailer, and knowing that it'll have an entirely new cast altogether, it got me wondering, that's why I ask.
Personally I dont think its necessary, the movies already did a good job so we dont really need a TV series. Also the new cast will be hard to get used to, the og cast is so iconic...
And if they want to make it stand out more from the movies they probably need to make it as different as possible and more faithful to the books. (Which they already kinda failed in the announcement with the same logo, music score and hogwarts design)
I think the only reason theyre doing this is because it's their moneymaker so they are milking it (even though they have 7 movies, a play, 8 books, fantastic beasts series, merchandise and products etc..)
So what do you think about the Harry Potter TV Series
It will be live action. Each season is 1 year and will be done over the course of a decade. It wil lbe on Max (streaming service successor to HBO Max). Check out the teaser.
