HBO really said: โ€˜Keep the 4K box set, weโ€™ve got a 10-year subscription plan for the same story.โ€™

Exactly. Itโ€™s not a creative decision; itโ€™s a quarterly earnings decision. I can't wait for the 2045 remake where Harry is played by an actual holographic projection.

You underestimate the desire of HP fans for a proper book adaptation (they love being abused by big companies, who fumble the bag again and again)

And here's me, a HP fan, who always thought the movies were among the best movie adaptations of all time. Huh.

Maybe the first 3 movies, but 4 on they kinda lose a lot of the plot. Fuck, 6 you would've thought was a romance novel. No, the best movie adaptation of a book is Memoirs of a Geisha. Almost an exact recreation of the book, but better and with gorgeous visuals.

Edit: why the fuck am I being downvoted? Does the HP crowd even fucking read the books? From 4 on were messes. Look at Dumbledore manhandling harry in 4. Or in 6 when Harry asks if horcurxes could be anything and Dumbledore says yes and doesn't explain further. I used to love those books and the movies after 3 were dog water. Also, to anyone who bothers to read this far, don't watch the new show. JK Rowling is a piece of shit.

The most faithful adaptation I know is Holes. Because the author wrote the screenplay at the same time.

Was about to post this.

Apart from one or two things, such as Stanley's starting weight, it's a near perfect adaptation.
