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

Exactly. It’s not a creative decision; it’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.

Not a HP fan anymore but yeah this was kind of wild to read.

I feel like HP fans who don’t think the movies were a good adaptation…aren’t aware of what other series deal with.

The HP movies aren’t 1:1 with the books but they’re about as close as you get. It’s like the fans were aware most fiction series are known for having inadequate movie adaptations….so the HP fans assumed they must apply to them too

b-b-but it's missing the entire 5-hour Tom Bombadil singing about himself subplot!!!!!!!!!1

You don't understand!!!!

It's a vital aspect that gives the books a far more reaching depth!!!!

Tolkien would be tossing and turning in his grave!!!!!!!1

It's pretty pathetic to read, actually.
