Who else is excited about it? I read an artikel about it that rowling is thinking about doing a first ever tv series about it.
It comes after "maxs commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me"
David heyman, producer on the original 8 films, is in discussions to executive produce the series.
What kind of actors will it be, will it be lookalikes?

"Is it a retelling of the books? As in following the kids all the way from Philosophers Stone?
Or is it set afterwards?"
I am not sure, it seems to be a story from each of the books that will become a decade long series, so there will be many episodes of it, which is good too. |

The trailer uses the sane music, the same font and the same model of hogarth while they are claiming it won't just be a remake of the films. I'm not convinced this will be the success they think it will be |

"Setting aside JKRs issues, is this even needed? There are many other book series that are crying out to be adapted "
Harry Potter is a cashcow that needs to be milked. This was inevitable as soon as they had to bin Fantastic Beasts. They won't risk more offshoots failing so fall back on the safe option of a remake |

just squeeze more blood out the stone same with starwars / Star Trek etc I guess its been like 20 years since original potter movie trilogy so they want to to milk it ready for the next generation of kids around 5/6/7 coming up ....
same with LOTR getting a soft reboot as well and spin off movies inbound ....
Would like to see a series based on the Metro books .. though I guess at moment no on has the stomach for something Russian based |

Truth be told I rather see more original stories be written for the screen or TV, than simply adapting book series for them.
Having said so, with the way the world is now, any TV series adaptation of Tom Clancy's books such as Red Storm Rising is bound to be a hit. |

"Gimme that sweet 40k and End Times series!
I can get behind this or a gotrek and felix series. A guests ghosts series maybe  "
I think Gotrek would make a great animated series.
Gaunts Ghosts would be amazing.

It's meant to be a total restart. The reason for JKR being an executive producer and being on board for it is she's demanded that if it happens it needs to be true to the books - unlike the movies were with some details.
I'm excited for it! It's fairly obvious I'm a HP fan.

I'd rather see a gritty, 18-rated, gory series about Harry's career as an Auror.
Loads of swearing and sectumsempra shit going on.
Luthor style baddies.
Staring Daniel Radcliffe obviously.
Xx |

This, I got told by an 11 year old these were films (novels themselves clearly passed him by) from the olden days. So yep tapping into a new generation |

One ofvthevthings I hate about the films is all the Auror's are cool, anti establishment types.
Ajdvthen they flash forward to the future and there are Ron and Harry looking like a pair of accountants struggling with the notion of dress down Friday. They just wouldn't have turned out like that! |

"The Stephen King Dark Tower series would make for a great show, can't be worse than the film at least."
The Dark Tower series was brilliant until the ending of the last book, it got shoved on the shelf never to be read again  |
