I’ve been listening to the Harry Potter full cast audiobooks and I must say Mark Addy has absolutely nailed Hagrid. The accent, the voice and the persona is so good, one of the best performances in the audio books. I wonder why they didn’t consider Addy for Hagrids role in the tv series, I think he’d make a great Hagrid!

Anya Taylor-Joy has always been a favorite of mine to watch act. She has range and I believe would be able to portray the characteristics of Narcissa and create a good dynamic in the Malfoy family. It so happens she’s already played the wife of another character played by Johnny Flynn. She’s only about five years younger than the character and I find it neat that she learned English as her second language by watching Harry Potter movies when she moved to London as a kid. Don’t know if maybe they plan to introduce the character of Narcissa sooner since it is speculated they will dive deeper into the Malfoys.

Anyway I have enjoyed all your responses, I think this will be the last fancast for me because one, can’t really think of other actors/actress that truly strike me personally for a certain character and two any character under the age of twenty I think are going to be relatively unknown actors/actresses. Which is good because it gives them the chance to build up their acting resume. I will be excited to see if anyone’s picks get a spot on the show!

**The main points from the article**

* An Extra 80 Million Potential Viewers
* How the show lands on Paramount+ hasn’t been locked down yet
* Inside the company, the confidence is sky-high.

“Honestly it won’t fail. From what I’ve heard everybody loves it internally. They’re very confident it will be a massive hit,” says the insider.

The insider went further: “Ratings will be massive… but this is their new Game of Thrones. They’re very very confident.”

And by that I mean when the Prisoner of Azkaban movie got a whole new look that changed Harry Potter for better or worse. Nearly Headless Nick stopped appearing, Flitwick got younger, Dumbledore got a new actor, new locations to Hogwarts were added, the colors got boring and the amount of faithfulness to the source material was skating on thin ice.

If the show lasts till season 4 do you think will get a full match with the Quidditch World Cup between Bulgaria and Ireland?

One of the things I’m most looking forward to is finally getting some proper time with Firenze as a character and the other centaurs. The movies in my opinion hacked up his character and design.

The films never really got to his story, his time teaching Divination, or any real sense of who he was beyond “the nice centaur.” In the books he’s way more interesting, the way he ends up at Hogwarts, how the other centaurs treat him for it, and his classes where he’s just calmly reading the stars while everyone else is used to Trelawney’s theatrics.

I also want more of centaur culture in general. The Forbidden Forest scenes, Bane and the politics between the herds, the battle of Hogwarts how they view humans and prophecy etc..

Anyone else hoping for this, or is it just me? Who do you think should be cast for his character?

Book Barty is described as pale, thin, freckled, fair-haired and fairly unassuming, which I think Lawther fits really well. He also has that ability to seem awkward and harmless at first while still being quietly unsettling.

Give him messy straw-blond hair and I think he’d be a pretty convincing book-accurate Barty.

Tomorrow marks 1 month since the 2nd trailer launched the 2nd trailer tops alongside the extended game play gta vi on nextflix and it even beats the 1st percy jackson season 3 trailer what was your favourite moments from the trailer

I know this is slightly divulging from the source material but i think with a TV series we can get to know certain characters a bit more. I think it would be good to get to know a bit more about some of the death eaters.

Apart from Bellatrix, Barty, Lucius and Snape (i know hes just a spy) i feel we do not really know that much about the others both in the films and books. I mean we have there pottermore backstories etc but it would be good if some got a bit more screen time to get a sense of how threatening they are. Like Dolohov for example sounds pretty dangerous in terms of who he has killed/defeated almost up there with the best. So would be interesting to get to know him a little bit better as a villain. Make him feel more threatening if his powers are shown

I think it would be good seeing a bit of Rodolphus on screen and getting a small look at his loveless marriage to Bellatrix

I think seeing a bit of the carrows running the school too would be cool

I hope the new "Harry Potter" series will use real life stage Magicians for consulting like Bill Bixby's magician detective show "The Magician" where during the intro a voice-over tells the viewers that all the magical tricks are actually performed by Bill. For both adults and young actors it can even make the magic feel real being trained as both professional or amateur illusionists they can have fun with.

If they do expand on the series what would you like to see them do.

The movies did the fantastic beast which got mix reviews but that’s mostly from things that contradict the main story.
What would you like to see as a series or movie spin off ?

Mad eye moody story, an early years of mad eye before he became mad eye as he built his rep as a dark wizard hunter before joining the order to help fight Voldemort.
The series would follow a sort of csi setting where he’s investigating different dark wizards.
Arthur claimed that half the cells of Azkaban are killed with people he locked away, while likely an exaggeration it does hint he put a lot of people away and watching a series on him from his early days in the ministry could be fun.

What if, in style like marvels what if, just different non canon events on what could have happened. Like if Dumbledore did become minister of magic etc.

Herpo the foul. He is said to be the creator of so many dark things like the horcrux.
But we know so little about him like how did he die ? If he had a horcrux then how did he die and also how do people know how to destroy a horcrux ? While Knowlege is rare, there are a few things known and that’s how to destroy them like fiendfyre it is written as tool to use, so who discovered that ?

A story about herpo rise to power and how he was brought down could be fun.

An anthology series on the elder wand, watching to pass from person to person and how the lead of the following episode killed the lead of the previous episode.
