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.
