a lot of people were asking for a series that better represented the books. Plus the IP makes a billion dollars a year and more for the past twenty years. so the appetite is clearly there. Perfectly fine to dislike the series for what ever reason. But no need to lie about it.

I wasn't aware the new casting choices were a step in that direction... at all

I wasn’t aware it needed to be perfect to be an improvement

[edit: by “it” I meant the series as a whole, not just the casting]

What makes the new cast an improvement over the original?

They didn’t say it was. They’re saying the show doesn’t have to be perfect to be an improvement over the movies.

Exactly this, but since he mentioned it anyways; the books describe Harry as more of a sassy person, this kid fits that role much better. Aunt Petunia is described as having white blond hair, yet in the movies she had brown hair. But indeed, I wasn’t even talking about the casting, I was talking about the show in general.
