  A reboot?

  I'm plenty happy with the books, and the movies as they have been filmed.
  
  No need for a reboot. Perhaps the stories of the Potter and Weasley (and the other character's) children would make good TV.

  I think it would be interesting to see how a new adaptation does.

  TV show based on Harry Potter?
  Nick Frost as Hagrid is dead on in my opinion. When I first saw Frost in Badlands, I thought this actor would succeed in Robbie Coltrane’s role.
  Dev Patel as Remus Lupin ? Patel looks like more an actor who should play Jesus in the Bollywood version of The Passion of Christ.

  Fine actors, all, but the casting would take some getting used to.

  Since Hogwarts has, what, a 900 year old history, seems like there an infinite number of stories waiting to be told.

  I agree, but if they can't finish telling Newt Scamander's story, then it looks like a reboot is the only option for the studios.

  I don't think a reboot is a good option.
  
  Sadly, a studio will look at what the original did, and think "Well that made money."
  
  If they want to tell new stories, based on the existing characters - that's a better choice for me as a viewer.

  J. K Rowling seems okay with a reboot.

  An HBO series. Didn't realize it would be done that way. But I guess they are running out of options, given J.K.'s controversial statements in recent years.

  I don't know that they are running out of options, though, since an infinite number of non-Newt films or series could be made. Minerva McGonagle: The Teen Years for example. And I'm not sure that Rowling's statements are that widely known outside of the politically aware subset of the fan community. 🤔

  Well, be all that as it may (and you make valid points, every one), the remake is official, according to this Associated Press article (via MSN).
  
  'Game of Thrones' prequel and 'Harry Potter' series are a go

  Hi, I'm not sure how I feel about a Harry Potter reboot. On one hand, I love the original movies and books, and I don't want them to be ruined by a new version. On the other hand, I'm curious to see how they would update the story and the characters for a modern audience. Maybe they could explore some new aspects of the wizarding world that were not covered in the original series. What do you think? Are you excited or worried about a Harry Potter reboot?

  I'm rather curious about how they'll do it myself. I'd like to see some of the scenes from the books brought to life. Movies have to make so many hard choices. I never felt the house elves were done right. And some of the kids who were more prominent in the books barely got any screen time at all. If you didn't know who they were from the books they were kind of confusing, I think. Confusingly brief, that is.
