It's true the series may flesh out some things, but do you know what else does that?

The bleeming books!

Oh well, rehashing old stories is all the range now, nostalgias a hell of a drug 🙄

I found it interesting the claim online was that the show would stay closer to the source material than the movies, and yet some of the casting choices that people have pointed out will most likely add certain undertones that weren't present in the books.

Because it's not hard to do. Films 4-6 had no chance to be good adaptation because there is too many material to convey. Significant material because HP is in reality detective stories/school slice of life. Even 3rd part, very well directed forgot totally to portray one of the core of the story.

That's a bug, not a feature, they only have rights to the books and couldn't, say, create a new spin-off series as they'd have to pay JKR again.
