Harry Potter Reboot Series

[TheCodeMan95]

I'm definitely curious how quickly they could pull the plug on this if it doesn't get the numbers they want right away. Would they drop it after 1 season?

(I do expect it to do well like most remakes end up doing)

There’s a lot here. Essentially he’s a poltergeist that causes trouble with his mischief. He makes regular appearances throughout the series.

Peeves

Peeves was a poltergeist at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, since c. 993. Fond of mischief and chaos, he was a constant pain to the school and its inhabitants, especially Argus Filch, the caretaker, as the only ones able to control him were the Bloody Baron and Albus Dumbledore...

He is a poltergeist so like a ghost but can move things, throw things, play practical jokes etc. he generally causes trouble and mischief day-to-day which can be quite funny or annoying depending on whether the target is Harry or someone we dislike, but when Hogwarts is under threat he helps defend it.

My biggest concern is the aesthetic take on the castle and other locations we've already seen. Hogwards castle and grounds already have a look which is well defined and canonized across multiple platforms. Whatever this show looks like, it needs to be strongly familiar to keep the older generation involved. I understand that the series will have its own artistic twist on the look, but if you stray too far from what we know, the backlash will be huge.

Talk all the trash you want about the Star Wars Sequels, but at least they looked and felt like Star Wars.

is there an example of a reboot or remake that ruined the aesthetics?
the power rangers movie comes to mind. felt like they got everything wrong, the monsters, the robots, their base

I feel similarly about the music. So much of the music from the HP film series is just so freakin' wonderful that i tear up just hearing certain songs. On one hand, I hope they don't just recycle stuff from the films, but -on the other hand- it's going to be a tall order to try and do better than Williams, Doyle, Hooper, and Desplat.

I think what we eventually get will be similar to what we got with Hogwarts Legacy, which was a mix of new architecture and styles and direct recreations of more famous locations from the films. We already know Warner wants the series to be as close to films aesthetic as possible because of merchandising (according to insiders). We've had some construction leaks, like the first leaked look at the new Great Hall that looks like an almost 1:1 recreation of the film, while Privet Drive construction looks noticably different from the films.

it's like when the goosebumps movie didn't feature the iconic song of the show. it just felt wrong without it

I feel the same, for me the music is so important to the franchise much like Star Wars. I can't see how they can do all new music and have it be as good, but perhaps they will surprise us. The familiar Harry Potter hook has to be in there (at the start of video below). It just has to! Like the Star Wars opening credits hook it just draws you straight in. I hope the music, and the aesthetic of Hogwarts, have their own identity but are not completely different from the films.

Yes!!! The music sends a chill through my body when I enter Hogsmeade and Diagon. It gives you that comfy, warm, familiar feel immediately.
.....At DHS though, I get that chill when I go on Star Tours because it has the classic first films score....but I don't feel it when I enter Batuu since
the music, and lack of in areas, is not as familiar.

I’m thinking they’ll do what the new Superman movie did with its score and a famous theme. Keep the core themes/beats but revamp/modernize it a little
