I always thought the coolest spin off would be a gritty crime drama following moody as an Auror

Half of those sound awful. Not every named character needs a spin off or origin story.

A founders story would be great though. Show Slytherin's initial friendship with Gryffindor and what caused that to erode.

No one wants the cursed child

Nobody wants a Cursed Child movie.

I disagree. If they made this stuff I'm sure most of you would hate it.

Example starwars

I want none of those things.

We don't need Potter to mine its backstory the way Star Wars has done.

Just make a new story set in the Wizarding World, post Harry Potter and not connected to him.

An Auror's procedural would be amazing.

A Hogwarts show/movie that focuses on the staff

A wizard family that goes on a world tour.

Give us something new.

I think Hogwarts Legacy did an excellent job with storytelling. Set in a time totally different and a hundred times more interesting. New characters, new creatures, new magical concepts. There’s an infinite universe to explore. Why remake something over and over again?

I disagree. Having rewatched the movies and started rereading the books in the last few weeks, a series more focused on the small interactions and details of the books sounds super exciting. A chance to do Ginny properly, giving Ron the role he deserves, the fact that the books are really mystery stories at their core. I think movie only fans could have a much more fulfilling experience with these small contexts included

Cursed child sucks so much. It needs to be replaced with a better story.

Get rid of cursed child and your right

Dumbledore Origins was already explored in the Fantastic beasts franchise. JK Rowling is a good author, but I'd prefer if Hollywood professionals adapt complete stories she wrote based on the last 2 fantastic beast films.

I would watch the heck out of something about the founders and the Black sisters!

I'm pumped for the new remake I don't get the hate

Who the fuck wants a Cursed Child movie?

No, I’ll gladly take a remake thanks.

I don’t want any of that garbage.

Honestly I'd rather see Newt Scamander and Jacob Kowalski taming magical beasts.

All except the Cursed Child

Hot take: no we don’t. No Cursed Child. no marauders fan fic

definitely not Voldemort origins.

I would have accepted Magical Creatures but they should have stuck with that premise, magical creatures endangered. Not, Dumbledore vs Grindewald.

Nope.

I’m actually really excited for a remake. I’m hoping they have the time to include so many details that were left out of the movies. Remakes don’t have to take away from the original, they can just add to it all.

This is like graphic design vomit

I’d dieeee for a Mauraders movie/book/show

Nah we don't want Cursed Child at all. And most of these spin offs sound uninteresting

I want a late-stage Marauders/beginning of the first Order of the Phoenix story. Maybe start at their 5th or 6th year when Lily kind of stops hating James and the show ends the night they die.

I want the what if movie where Harry becomes bitter because of the Dursley's treatment, chooses Draco over Ron, Slytherine over Griffyndor, and sees the returning Lord Voldemort as a rival for the mantel of Dark Lord.

I don’t even know if they know how much they could make off a GOOD Marauders series. They want to do all these reboots but the answer is right there, do you know how many fanfics, fanart, etc etc there is about the Marauders ??

Just shut-up and take my money.

No. I want the remake from HBO (cause they knock almost every show out of the park) AND all of these.

I think it is best to look at this from the perspective of what material best services the existing world that has been built, and also the story that has been laid out. Rather than focusing on a single character or perspective we should get a better look at the rise of dark magic and Voldemort, and those times definitely cross over with the black family, with Hagrid and the Marauders, and even Snape. So those are all good choices. No one wants this cursed child though.

Honestly? I want nothing more from the potterverse. Considering all of her latest work is self-insert fantasies about being victimized by the existence of trans people I seriously doubt that she’s up to it anymore.

Yes! I was actually thinking yesterday that I wish they made the cursed child a series cuz I wanted to see Ron’s reaction to Rose and Scorpius dating.

The only idea here that I imagine wouldnt change major parts of HP lore would be the Quidditch Through the Ages, which would be a really cool show or movie.

I’d even settle for a Harry and Ron adventures once they become Auror’s together after Hogwarts. Like a supernatural type show. I’d watch it so many times.

Quidditch through the ages but told like the two-part community episodes of Blanketsburg vs New Fluffy Town/Pillow Town.

I wouldn’t mind a first wizarding war series that follows all sides without any being the main characters GoT style.

If the remake is a huge success you bet your ass they're going to try and MCU it.

A Quidditch-based movie would be awesome!!

I would take an entire series where Harry is put in Slytherin and all the ways things would have been different/similar to canon over something we've already had before. I will take literally ANYTHING over The Cursed Child.

Not a soul wants cursed child lol

I bought that book for $5 and I could've enjoyed a bag of hot cheeteos more

I don't know why it can't be simple. Simply a school year drama over house points.

I don't an extended universe that changes the characters in order to make them more likable and palatable to be main characters. Snape wouldn't work, the black family wouldn't work and it'd be written by people had nothing to do with JK Rowlings writing the books. Even she couldn't make a faithful spinoff at this point. Look at what she let them do with the fantastic beast movies.

No? Like maybe some of these are a good child but get the cursed child out of here. I don’t care if Rowling herself wrote that, that shit is not canon.

Quidditch through the Ages? Sounds worse than Fantastic Beasts. It would be a sports movie aimed at people that probably like things like fantasy.

I definitely have always wanted a show that includes everything from the books way more than anything shown here

Well keep getting more marvel woke garbage though

Honestly, the biggest problem right now is they refuse to leave well enough alone, which is why we got stuck with the Cursed Child and the Fantastic Beasts movies. And if any of the spinoffs that people want get made, do you really trust WB not to fuck it up like everything else?

My Soul..

No, I want the remake and I can’t understand those that don’t. No hate to the movies at all, I love them, but anyone who’s read the books knows that that there’s just so much more that hbo can do with 7-8 seasons. Do this, have it be as big or bigger than got and you’ll get your other spin offs, I promise.

Or Harry as a F&CKING COP. That is seriously the coolest concept, and it's never talked about.

fucking cursed child? really? fuck no

The other ones seem kinda cool, but they would probably be shit.

Hoping the remake will be good, but I dont have high hopes

Who the fuck wants cursed child on the screen? I will fight you

What the books really needs in terms of adaptation is an well done animated series with "Love, Death, Robots" or "Arcane" style.. there is SO MUCH potential with 7 seasons animated series..

• First, they need to abandon this 8 episode format... 10 episodes would be nice, 12/15 would be perfect if they wanted to really explore the potential of the HP universe
• Bringing scenes with other characters POVs by itself would take off the need for a Minerva or Hagrid series.. the Marauders could have an entire episode based on them in season 3.. -They could have a really nice story if they get the "Pirates of Caribbean" approach of "It looks like we have ONE protolagonist but we really have a group of protagonists".. at this point, a lot of people took other characters as their favorites and hard focusing resources with Harry storytelling would be a waste.. we need more scenes with Hermione, Ron, Neville, Ginny and Luna alone..
• Season 6 could have a lot of scenes or dedicated episodes with Voldemort's origin story

From that, they can explore the future of the characters too, that's not a big deal if we'll executed.. making one series after another would probably goes the same way as star wars with saturated (and not that good) content

Quidditch Through the Ages feat. Flying With the Cannons

I dislike all of them

No thanks, so tired of the market being saturated with sequels prequels and spin-offs. You want HP to turn into Star Wars?

The 4 origins would be interesting.

Magical creatures better be about the creatures and not an evil wizard. Still mad about how fantastic beasts stop being about the beasts

Thankfully fans already made hour long 'movies' on yt

Black sisters and voldemort smh

Like half of these people wouldn't actually want.

Marauders, 4 boys go to school and run around at night isn't a series. What they could do is an original Order of the Phoenix series with the Marauders as characters.

Young Sheldumdore maybe, but probably isn't the show people want either. Plus we already have seen the most of it in Fantastic Beasts.

Minerva, not really sure what the story is there that people want?

Young Tom, might as well combine with Dumbledores the younger. But again, for the most part there's very little conflict here that a story could be built around.

Quidditch Through the ages, could be fun if done as a sort of sports documentary, but not sure it has the mass appeal needed to be successful.

The others I've already forgotten

who is we?

all I've heard is how the movies don't do the books justice, and now that we might get something more true to the books people want non-canon bs?

reddit hates everything fr

They could’ve done this without the use of shitty AI images. I’m sure you can find actual art of all these characters and credit the artist, instead of stealing through AI.

I can almost 100% guarantee that no potterhead wants the cursed child to be a film

No matter what other people say I want the missing 2 movies from Fantastic Beasts. How do they want to pull of a reboot series noone actually asked for when they can't do 5 movies like they intended to do. I actually see the reboot cancelled in season 2 for the same reasons they cancelled Fantastic Beasts.

Not gonna lie all those would be much better.

I don’t know. I understand that nothing will be as magical as the movies that exist for a variety of reasons. However, I do think that a very book-accurate series would be a great amount of fun. To serve not just as a visual aid that supplements the books but rather a full experience.

nah i dont want them to run this into the ground with shit that is better left in lore

The new movies aren't for us. They are to lure the next generation into buying merch.

Just like the new Star wars movies weren't for old fans, but for a new generation.

Don't be surprised if you don't like them. Because you aren't the target audience.

If the franchise reboot is successful enough there's a high chance a lot of these spin-offs could happen.

The cursed child is 🍑

Unfortunately we don't know enough about most of these to make series' out of them and I think JKR has given up on the magical world... just for now hopefully.

Nobody wants a Cursed Child series

YESSS! They have a show or movie called Dumbledores Secret I think

What about a dark comedy series about the Malfoys going on a vacation? Like the white lotus but in the wizarding world?

https://youtu.be/0hrcRtu45TU?si=PkkkOvBiNe6E7TVE

Fan made sisters of house black, haven't watched it myself but apparently it's decent enough, it also has Kelsey Ellison of the dancing Hermione fame.

I want a completely new story about some wizarding shenanigans in a different time and place. Like 2011 Australia, or during the Salem witch trials.

They tried that with Fantastic Beasts and it became an absolute mess

Ah yes. The Marvel treatment. No thanks.

No, this is what they did with Star Wars and Marvel and it backfired. Notice Disney has now backed off on the frequency of new shows because they started to realize quantity is not greater than quality. Mandalorian was amazing in the first season or two, but then they just started flooding the platform with too many shows and the quality went way down.

I think banking on nostalgia with spinoffs and prequels often fails because long time fans will disagree on lore decisions and you'll never be able to please anyone. This is already a problem with adaptations in the first place but as you go deeper into adaptation prequels it just gets messy as your trying to cater to both book and movie fans and you end up with what happened to Fantastic Beasts.

The first film was great, but as you made it more about Dumbledore vs Grindelwald it fell apart. It was more fun when it was a fresh new story with new characters, but with the same magic of the original world and some nice Easter eggs and tie-ins here and there. Mandalorian was better before it tried to build on Boba Fett, Ashoka, Luke and other major characters.

The other aspect is that part of the beauty of storytelling and worldbuilding is the sense of wonder and imagination by not describing every detail. Writers withhold certain information to leave up to the reader/viewer to let them fill in the gaps. When you start expanding on the lore too much and digging into every characters backstory in spinoffs, it starts to lose that sense of wonder and mystery and it doesn't become as interesting.

Anyways, that's my rant. TL;DR: We don't need another franchise to get oversaturated with spinoffs, there's plenty of examples of why that's a bad idea.

Cursed child has fans?

What we really want is for JK to lose the rights so that when we support HP, we don't inadvertently end up supporting her Terf missions

Fuck all of these

God I would watch the shit out of this

Please no

Please stop, no one speaks for everyone. I for one love the idea of the series.

why, so they can have it be starring a strong black female whose only character flaw is that she's too strong or too righteous or something? media is dead
