That cursed child abomination has her name on it and it's quite possibly one of the worst pieces of fiction I've ever read when you take everything into context.

All I know is, HBO has my full confidence. They rarely miss.

He made the movie. And really, the first one wasn't half bad. The 2nd one really took some starch out of the series and killed the enthusiasm for a surprisingly strong 3rd installment. |

It's essentially the worst of all worlds - the lack of visuals that comes from books with the lack of context/internal monologue that comes from movies. |

And I really like Jude Law; figured he'd be an awesome Dumbledore. And really I do think he was pretty decent. It was just a bad movie. |

Seems weird do redo it so soon. But I think after GoT it makes sense to do books like this as a series instead. I’ll definitely give it a shot and am interested to see how it is. They will definitely be able to touch on a lot more material this way. It’s going to be weird with all new cast, but obviously the characters are too old to go back to year one at Hogwarts… not to mention probably burnt out and too expensive now.
I thought it was going to be seven seasons? One season per book? |

A prequel between the FB and HP series just seems like a perfect answer. And Dumbledore could be such a great character. You can see his rise to prominence and can find out how he gets the elderwand and the resurrection stone. Hell, you can find out if he was really all that great a wizard or if that elderwand just does some serious work for him. There's a LOT to dig into here and it seems odd to throw all this money and time at a series that's already mostly fleshed out either in movie or book form. |
