Enough about Hermione, who gives a fuck, more important is who they cast for Harry and Ron. Ron looks great, you can definitely picture it but something isn't clicking with the kid they picked for Harry.

will Harry grow up to be a turbo manlet, that is the real question
Why do care? Are you watching this children's show with your kids or something?
There's a lot of info about the Hermione girl but next to none about these two that's why.
Do kids even care about harry potter?
Of course fucking not. Why on earth would a kid the age of those kids cast watch Harry Potter? they'd watch YouTube videos and then get indoctrinated into being gay or transsexual due to awful parents who grant them full internet access.
No need to get angry. I just thought that 90% of harry potter fans are like 30-40 year olds.
If that's not the case, I apologize.
Maybe there's enough kids audience to warrant making expensive kids show about harry potter
You moron, I said the exact opposite. They're millennials. Harry Potter was a YA thing and only a millenial fluke.
No they are
Kids dont read Harry Potter these days, school libraries were phased out of schools when Ipads and chromebooks became significantly cheaper to maintain and replace
Can someone post more photos of the Harry kid? Will they keep his hair short to differentiate him from Radcliffe!
He looks fine.
They look way too generic, no personality in their appearance.
it's like if you asked AI to create them
The left ones look like when he was 7 or 8, are the right ones up to date to now?
Harry and Ron are good, they need to get Draco right and that's about it. Hermione is whatever, Snape is whatever.
My 12 year old stepson is obsessed with it.
Snape is whatever
dude he was the best part of the movies
No, he was not. He was a good supporting character who had his moments and a funny schtick. The most important thing is that they get the boy that the series is named after right. And they clearly did. The rest is superfluous.
So? What do you want then? Just say you're biased by nostalgia.
harry gives me some anti christ vibes
something isn't clicking with the kid they picked for Harry
Careful of who you made fun of, people already learnt that huge lesson with Neville.
They really can't ever find an actor with black hair and green eyes for this role can they
I didn't say anything remotely mocking, in fact I've seen a few more photos and I've changed my mind. He's very well cast. So is Ron. Hermione is obviously where they fucked up
they're both too cute, they're supposed to be scuffed urchins, hermionie is the perfect princess one of the three because that's her background and personality
Did Rowling get to audition them herself?
I think they prioritize acting before a very specific look they can fix with hair dye and contacts.
Harry looks American.
Currently been waiting on my train for fucking 8 hours
Never watching shit ever again
my mom cares. shes 60
kids?
they clearly did
what
Why do care? Are you watching this children's show with your kids or something?
Ron looks great, you can definitely picture it but something isn't clicking with the kid they picked for Harry.
He looks too healthy. Harry, is supposed to be small, ragged, and malnourished, with wild hair.
Radcliffe is so bad in the philosopher's stone you have to wonder what they were thinking
though he grew into the role and is way better in subsequent movies but still compared to rupert and emma and all the supporting cast he's so fucking bad, rupert in particular is great, doesn't miss a beat and is completely relaxed
he cute
?
My 9 yr old niece loves it and dragged her parents on the studio tour the other month. Think she only knows it from the movies though not sure she's ever read a book in her life.
youtu.be
how many takes do you think this took
the movies are ok to great and all but I couldn't imagine falling in love with the franchise (as i have) without reading the books first
Hogwarts is so accepting and diverse that it has an entire house for nazi wizard chuds
Very anti semitic post.
My nieces and nephew aren't into Potter but they're still crazy about stuff millennials grew up on. Pokemon, Sonic, Mario, Invader Zim, Spongebob, Avatar the Last Airbender. I'm sure if my siblings showed them anything, bright and shiny, from Potter they'd be in to it.
Yeah but it also has Hufflepuff and God knows what those degenerate furries are getting up to
what happens if one of the kids troons out during filming?
it will probably be the girl. FtMs are 10000x more likely than a MtF. or she dykes out, same thing. women are a nightmare of an existence and this girl has no chance considering she is the most experienced in the "Acting game" (no good implication there) out of the three. No doubt she pushes for Hermione to be a dyke too. It's a disaster waiting to happen.
Slytherin house becomes voldemort's strongest soldiers when he takes over
the entire house gets imprisoned by mcgonnegal when she retakes hogwarts
so are they existentially evil or not, rowling never makes this clear
the only good slytherin is slughorn, rowling then decided to retcon slytherin=irredeemably evil in her play
crazy that you spend a lot of time thinking about children’s sexuality but will insist you are normal and doing something important.
keep recasting her every season with the skin slightly lighter each time
Dude, you browse THIS site. You have no fucking right to look down on anyone, no matter what they say. You're in the pig pen among the filth with the rest of us. And for your information, I don't give a shit but it's still the truth that Jews target kids with this LGBT nonsense. Take it up with them. Oh wait, they are your masters and you can't possibly compute what I told you? Good grief then..
no, YOU'RE the weird one for NOT wanting to castrate children
every time. tick tock, troon.
These are gen alpha kids not clout chasing zoomers/soillennials
Why wouldn't he? The mods have shown that these are all paid for threads and you creeps are allowed to post whatever you want to.
I mean until it's linked on Anon Babble or Anon Babble and they get a wind of this genuine shill bias. Then he acts like he's not paid to ignore it
Nah Snape, as much of a bitch as he is, redeems himself. Merlin of King Arthur's court is a Slytherin. She originally planned to give the trio a younger Slytherin friend that would act as a school gossip but couldn't get the character to work well within the story. She ended up turning the character into Rita Skeeter. So she was at least aware that Slytherins needed to be fleshed out a bit more. I didn't watch the movies, but in the books I'm pretty positive that some Slytherin students stayed behind to fight Voldemort and the death eaters in the final battle.
the entire house gets imprisoned by mcgonnegal when she retakes hogwarts
you know your (and others that i've seen on here) level of analytical skills and nuance perception, given that this is a children's story, is staggeringly narrow
A lot of the slytherin students had parents fighting for voldemort. "locking them up" is a best case scenario for these students. notice how none of them really fought back? (in the movies at least, FILCH, a known Squib, locked them up; they could've EASILY overpowered him if they wanted). this removes their agency, gives them an excuse should voldy's side came out triumphant, and dispels any philosophical internal debate and sense of survivor's guilt, regardless of the outcome.
In short, they weren't locked up because they are inherently evil --they were done a mercy, if you think about it.
but in the books I'm pretty positive that some Slytherin students stayed behind to fight Voldemort and the death eaters in the final battle.
that did apparently happen but not in the book. Rowling added it as part of her add shit to the story in interviews and twitter posts in the years after DH release thing she does like wizards just used to shit in corners
seems slightly unfair on the few good slytherin students
oh wait, there weren't any in the entire thing
I dont care much but making a modern tv series is unironically the perfect fit for HP due to its slow as molasses pacing and faffing-about-ness in general.
You can really waste everyone's time and slow drip the happenings over the course of 24 episodes per book and really get that cash rolling in.
People just want to see their characters do stuff and have drama. That's what all the fanfic business is about.
They will make a billion seasons of this crap and it'll make millions
I like the kid who they got for Harry. He has a kindness about his eyes. Good casting. The other two just don't fit at all. Black Snape on top...
**especially for a house that values self-preservation above all
people on here love to shit on this "children's book" but they're fucking thick as shit
even the "good" slytherin students might feel conflicted when seeing their bedmates being harangued. even if they never supported voldy
you also don't want to feel conflicted in the middle of a battlefield when there's very little room for error
it's said in the books that the only reason ginny, neville, luna, etc. survived was because they took a sip of felix felices
it's like if you asked AI to create them
I'm still not convinced that these are real people. The first time I saw the image I was convinced it was AI
Rowling planned to do it but she didn't
and? she retcons a lot of shit when she realises that she was completely un-nuanced in places, of course she regrets how stupid the nazi house was, that's why she put harry's son in slytherin and made him and malfoy's kid good (and gay together, which is hot)
kids?
they better get kids who look like the book descriptions to a T
WAIT NO THEY'RE TOO PERFECTLY CAST I'M GETTING LE AI COGNITIVE DISSONANCE ME NO LIKEY ANYMORE
Get fucked.
gryffindor, hufflepuff and ravenclaw cucks have to die to save hogwarts
slytherin chads get to wait it out and will be fine regardless of what happens
Why are harry potter trannies such evil pederasts
but something isn't clicking with the kid they picked for Harry.
You seem mentally ill.
Just give him glasses
Its his smile it looks like a FaceApp edit
new potter cast.
what do you think?
this is why i'm personally a slytherin
imagine dying for a cause, ANY cause, at 17
kekaroo
planning to do something and then finding out that it doesn't work and needs to be eliminated or re-worked is one of the most common issues for anyone that creates anything. She also doesn't not retcon a lot of shit. The only thing you could arguably say was a retcon is Dumbledore's sexuality, the default obviously being straight even if she never gives any indication that he is.
Anyone else prefer the new cast? Just looking at them, I feel a very potent chemistry.
2 little benders
a good slytherin character would've worked at any point, she didn't do it because she was a hack
it's weird how many people with intimate knowledge of harry potter are on Anon Babble and have been for a while, you ask a completely random question in any harry potter thread and some anon will always give quote you forgotten parts of the books
Who would you put money on in a fight? The top children look healthier but soft. The bottom kids look not as robust, but way more scrappier.
because they're all posh faggots
The new Ron looks like he could gouge the eyes out of the old Ron without any effort. I especially like the new Ron. Ron wasn't this retarded weasel fuckhead in the books. The new kid is spot on and looks like a commendable character, even with his comic relief role.
I know he's the main character and everything but it is pretty fucking lame how harry does literally everything in the books and movies, it's only the half blood prince onwards where other characters do literally something
that little poof couldn't do shit to rupert
It's not that he's the main character alone, but that the whole series is named after him. You can't possibly complain with hat in mind.
Weird how people are familiar with the characters of the single most popular literary fiction series as well as a really popular movie series that got going as the same time as anons were growing up.
Truly a mystery how anons could absorb knowledge even through osmosis (not that the books are hard to read, easy to knock back in a single day back then, even for ESL teens like myself)
So were Radcliffe and Watson. Grint was too but less obviously so.
25 years of Potter fan fiction hasn't even produced a good Slytherin character. If millions of zealous and ravenous fans can't whip one up then that means it was legitimate issue within the story.
The most obvious thing is that it opens up a massive can of worms of exactly how a Slytherin friend of the trio- and subsequently one that's a member of the resistance to Voldemort, the ministry, and the majority of the Slytherin student body, would be able to survive as a student.
Her ethnic ambiguity is rustling my tism
I can and do, it's boring, Ron should've done the tri-wizard tournament
Don't want to explore the other houses at all, hence why people feel they're one dimensional (because they are )
the Harry actor has that American perfect-teeth with the vacant camera-ready smile that makes him seem like some inauthentic catalogue model hired for being cutesy and manageable rather than a dorky fish out of water everykid like Radcliffe seemed
Careful now. Don't question why they removed the IP counter either
I had a stint at a mental ward and all they had was a bunch of biographies and Harry Potter. I read all of them in two weeks and I loved them. I never even thought I'd go near a Potter book before. Needed a lift-me-up at that time and those books delivered. Plus, I had nothing else to do. JK Rowling just knew instinctively what she was doing when writing them. It was like crack in book form. I even read the last few ones like twice.
just put luna in slytherin or something
Nu Hermione has the warrior gene and the bone density of an adult white man, she solos 1v5
It' a girl.
Voldemort support is widespread and far reaching. The majority of wizards support his rule. He takes over the entire government in an afternoon. There's supporters everywhere.
It should be fairly easy to write a guy that wants to forge his own path and doesn't like the followers of his house.
Just copy Ernst Junger's trajectory in life and you get your Slytherin Renegade.
The issue is that the degenerate retards writing Harrypotter fanfics are genuinely subhuman and mentally ill. Not that you couldn't push the story in a different direction, one more based on human nature and material reality.
it's not a criticism, calm down, I'm just saying I read them all when I was like 9 and I don't remember half the random shit you faggots do
I understand bro, it soothes the soul in a sense, like fast food. High art, they're not tho
Stay on Anon Babble, Hernandez
You don't think a cunning, ambitious, sneaky, treacherous student but who was on harry's side wouldn't be a cool idea?
Sebastian from Hogwarts Legacy was good. Ruthless and ambitious, but about helping his sister.
High art means nothing. Art is what comforts the soul. One person comforting another person with their creations which are extensions of themselves and that is why people love Harry Potter from the bottom of their hearts and don't care to pretend they love any "prestige" dogshit just because it makes them look sophisticated. My two cents on that. I think a generation as doomed and fucked as Gen Z/Alpha could use Harry Potter right about now. Some healthy escapism does wonders. You go off into fantasyland to learn about how to fix your present reality.
plus he's pure sex
He somehow made puritanical twitter fangirls draw porn of a 16-17 year old
Wrong continent. Try again.
Same issue. I wouldn't be surprised if Luna partially spawned out of Rowling's frustration of not being able to make a good aligned Slytherin character. Luna gets bullied by Ravenclaws of all people.
Is the Nintendo store worth driving 400 miles for?
I hope they direct Harry to be a cunt like he is in the books
Harry being nice in the movies is massive mischaracterization.
In the books he's such a dickhead and the crux of the whole dynamic between him and rest is that Hermione and Ron are the only ones who get his internal monologue - thats why everyone else in the school always believes whenever there are rumors of Harry being posessed or injected himself into the goblet or son of Slitherin etc. its because he's a massive fucking dickhead to people externally and he just has polite internal dialogue.
In the movies they made his internal dialogue external which makes him come off as a nice guy, in books he's a fucking cunt to everyone all the time.
why was this gigachad, this god among men, in hufflecuck anyway
NYOOOOOOOOOO
YOU CANNOT HAVE AN INTEREST IN A FRANCHISE I DISLIKE
99% of human population would go to hufflepuff IRL
they come off as losers but in reality they'd be the normies
There have been fanfics that use these ideas. The issue is that it makes the story way too big. Rowling tells the story from Harry's perspective, having a Slytherin civil war raging in the background and ignoring it would piss off readers, making a new POV character would completely ruing the story.
wasted as Batman. He has the chops for both sides of the character and he was awful. the director's fault.
He wanted to be a big fish in a small pond. Imagine if he was in a house with other high achievers.
My thoughts as well, Hermione will look fine in the costume but the kid playing Harry looks like an ass but not in the charming way like Daniel Radcliffe.
I wonder if the original plan was for hufflepuff to be the fratboy/social house, would make sense honestly than just being the dumping ground
no gryfindor doesn't fit that mold, gryfindor is for self-righteous goody two shoes teacher's pets
What an incredibly insufferable low-income dogbrained post
Spotted the soulless zoomerbab.
All those threads about this stupid upcoming show which is a follow up to mediocre movies which are based on an inconsistent book series with more plot holes than my an ukrainian battle field.
Is this what fake hype looks like?
The issue is that it makes the story way too big.
deathly hallows is war and peace size and is full of irrelevant shit, who cares
some pleb that says art doesn't matter and soulless propaganda has soul has the gall to call anyone soulless
I thought the lockdowns really brought out the scum, but the recent hack truly did
the first movie gets it right because he's a stuck up cheeky prick half the time
To do a renegade Slytherin story would have require her to write three or four more books at least. This is part of the issue GRRM is having with the last two books of asoiaf
the screencap is pure schizo and I am very critical of the series
harry potter fit the zeitgeist of the time because Rowling is a soft-left new labour gen xer for whom racial supremacy is the ultimate evil and so it struck a chord with the kids who were being raised by rowling's generation- the reason it was successful is because she has this weird ability to create catnip for children in written form, the social messaging is secondary
also some of her critiques and themes are at odds with the establishment- half of the order of the phoenix is a very niche critique of labour's educational reforms which emphasised standardised testing (SATs/OWLs)- Rowling is all over the place with this stuff
Sorry, I don't dry hump Mein Kampf every night you fucking Nazi reprobate. Trying to be some traditionalist third reich motherfucker when you're posting on a site meant for Japanese cartoon porn. Get a grip on your life.
ok- here's how you do it
have goyle or crab or "blaze" not be a dribbling retard and have him defect or become an agent for the good guys during the half blood prince
there, I just did something rowling couldn't even conceive of
whos at the left? harry or hermione?
Sorry I like my ultra-aristocratic renaissance man wizard idea, we're going with that
It's marketing by a studio that is known to have shills here and one of the big 3 mods in their pocket
She did conceive of a good aligned Slytherin, again Snape, and Slughorn, and the friendly Slytherin student that got cut from the story.
It's a band aid fix with no real meat behind it because they don't spend the last year in school, but if you simply want a Slytherin student that's visibly not down with wizard fascism then it works. People would still be arguing about Slytherins not being good enough though.
The issue is bad enough that it started the whole "dumbledore massacres the slytherin house" style of shitposting
Don't engage with marketing.
the original plan was for hufflepuff to be all about kindness and nature loving. neville longbottom was originally conceptualized as the quintessential hufflepuff, and hermione was the ravenclaw (intelligent but annoying/ugly/lacking social awareness).
