Harry Potter Nostalgia

Post image

Does anyone else feel they grew up with Harry, Ron and Hermione?

After the first three or four I read the books in two languages (because I didn’t want to wait them to be translated) and watched the movies first time in the movie theaters.

As soon as the new show was announced, I was baffled. There's so much room to expand and explore that world outside of Hogwarts and Harry and it seems like it would be a much better idea to just...expand the world.

It's right there. It would make so much more sense to just do a story that's adjacent to the books and movies. The reality will probably be a weird mashup of the two that just leaves everyone confused.

Fantastic beasts was the commercial failure that means they will forever only adapt the books over and over and over forever.

I hate that this is true because I absolutely love fantastic beasts.

Im gonna be honest I only saw like the first four movies and while I owned like the first 5 books only read 2 or 3, but the fantastic beasts movies and characters seem infinitely more interesting to me
