And many others are excited that it will be released this Christmas, instead of the previous 2027 release date, and thrilled over the new casting, with one user saying, “Hermione Granger is perfectly cast.”

However, there are also a fair number of users who are sharing their worries about the upcoming series. Such as one Twitter user who fears this show will be too redundant of the original movies to be needed. They commented, “What’s the point of this if they’re just going to use all the same sets?” Or another user who expresses similar concerns, “Is this not just the movies all over again?” This has been a critique of the show since it was first announced.

However, it seems like many fans are extremely excited for the opportunity to re-immerse themselves in the nostalgia and magic of the Potter world — with another user exclaiming, “The kid in me just screamed. The adult in me joined in.”

I hope the new Harry Potter series sticks closer to the books. I reread the books many times. I only watched each movie once.
My first thought was “why bother?”. However, after more thinking time, I remember people coming away from the films and pointing out everything in the books that were missing from the films. A series gives way more time to fit everything in.
