Send us a textIn this episode, we discuss the pitfalls of the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!Summary/Topics:· 1:52 Only following the story. One of the best parts of having a TV show is having more episodes and time to explore the story. That is more than enough to do more than follow Harry. He has an interesting journey, but going deeper and finding out more about some of the things that weren’t in the films would be the benefit of having more time on our hands. · 7:32 Actors. They are the core of the series, and the ones that make each scene pop. Choosing the right actors can be the deciding factor in the show. These are the people we are going to be living with for many years, so they should be as accurate as possible.· 14:10 Sets. This might seem like a secondary detail, but behind every production is a fantastic set. If they don’t use some of the most important sets in the story like Hogwarts and Diagon Alley, the image we have in our heads of the story will be ruined.· 20:34 Music. Some of the most iconic film themes in history have come from Harry Potter. If the TV show doesn’t use these themes, it will be something other than Harry Potter. I would be thrilled if they consulted the original composers to find the right balance.· 25:36 There is right and wrong. The films didn’t have any restrictions. They had the books and the sentiment, and all they had to do was bring it to life. The films had a perfect shot lined up, which they smashed out of the park. Now the TV show can get some of the elements straight up incorrect.Having anything you want to hear or say? Click here for a voice submission or here for text. [email protected]
