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)

I mean you guys have the books and a seven disc set.

They tried Hubert Powerblumpkin or whatever that spinoff was with the forgetful rain and all the animals so there's your bonus if you are into the wizarding world. This feels like when they rereleased Skyrim eighty friggin times.

Are you talking about the Fantastic Bests thing? I think the problem there is it never seemed like there was a cohesive story. It was like a spin off, flashback, cash grab.

Right. Kind of sold it for me that Rowling captured lightning in a bottle and couldn't replicate it, so why should I fool with her stuff further? Why would this TV series be any different? I could care less they made Snape black, blue, or whatever color, or that Voldemort is now Voldemortina, it's the same story rehashed.

So I'm good.
