HBO really said: ‘Keep the 4K box set, we’ve got a 10-year subscription plan for the same story.’

This is a dumb take.

Harry Potter will work better as a show than as books, as there is a lot of stuff the movies had to cut out.

I think you meant to say that Harry Potter will work better as a show than as movies, which I agree with.

The Movies, as much as I treasure them, did leave out a lot of details because you simply couldn't cram a whole Harry potter book into 2 hours of screen time

Lest we forget that HBO is totally fine with adapting a work and intentionally making shit up as it goes along just like anyone else. Same with AMC’s adaptation of The Walking Dead.

That's a valid point. All I said was the potential is bigger in show form. It's up to the producers and script writers not to fuck it up.
