    No need to downvote OP for simply linking a trailer for a television show in the television community, no matter how much the source material is hated.

    It does look… not great though. Casting a black actor as Snape is iffy when you consider how much Harry’s dad tormented him in the book.

    Here’s my predictions: It’s either going to be complete shit and get cancelled after 3 seasons, or it’s going to be amazing and get cancelled after 2 seasons.

      Not going to watch it either way. Fuck JKR; and unfortunately, fuck John Lithgow as well.

          He plays Dumbledore. Had a recent interview where he says that he considered turning down the part due to her being a bigot, but relented and took the role. Claimed it made him unhappy that people insisted he turn down the role.

    I know it’s just a trailer but it feels so… Bland. I don’t think we saw a single bit of magic? Who the hell made this trailer and left out any magic at all?

    I am so excited! And man does this show have an uphill climb!

    That cast in the movies was perfect… hard shoes to fill.

    The book series struck a cord with an entire generation the world over, and expectations will be through the roof! If this doesn’t register S4 and S5 of GOT level of viewers it will be branded a failure.

    Every asshole with a keyboard will shriek in horror at anything thing they can interpret as wokeness.

    Finally JK Rowlings has proven to be a total sack of shit and burned so much goodwill the story has.
