Oh boy, here we go again! I can't wait to watch the exact same magical adventures of Harry, Ron, and Hermione, but with slightly more details from the books! I was really missing all of the extra Quidditch practices and magical racism that they nixed from the eight movies, and I'm glad Warner Brothers finally decided to do something about it.

In my honest opinion, there is no reason to remake the Harry Potter books into a TV show so soon. The last movie only came out 12 years ago, and fans want stories about the Mauraders far more than they want an inferior replication of the original stories. It's a miracle that the Harry Potter movies turned out as well as they did the first time, and there's no way this new project is going to be superior without British acting royalty like Alan Rickman and Maggie Smith. I'm not alone in my resistance to this series; Many Harry Potter fans and haters shared their hot takes on Twitter.
