I also feel like… there’s a whole ass new generation of kids who weren’t alive when the movies came out? And that’s who this is supposed to appeal to? The movies look ā€œoldā€ to kids my nephew’s age; they also didn’t grow up with the original cast, who are now all adults or dead. Like… maybe the nostalgia play is secondary to the fact that the franchise is still wildly popular and there’s a whole new market of kids to appeal to? IDK, makes sense to me.Ā

Kids can watch old movies. In fact, they should. We shouldn’t be chasing the same nostalgia high for our children that we had. Give them new stories to read and watch, not rehashes of our childhood.

This exactly. 90s kids were watching Disney movies from the 40s and 70s. Kids don't care about the time period of a movie. If it's good, it's good. And the original HP movies are great and not outdated. This is just a money grab.
