"The movie smashed together the plot of the first three books in a confusing way, and the other 10 books went completely unadapted until Netflix announced a series adaptation."
"Now, we have our first look at this new Hogwarts, and it looks... exactly the same. The trailer shows everything you expect to see in a Harry Potter adaptation."
"The problem is that everything looks familiar to the point of redundancy. Hogwarts has the same fog-covered castle feel, the childlike wonder of the students is present in spades."
"Fans may say that a TV series allows for a more faithful adaptation, but even that's not entirely true - Harry's eyes are blue like in the movie, not green like in the books."
Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events was poorly adapted into a movie, leading to a more faithful Netflix series. In contrast, Harry Potter's books were fully adapted into films, yet HBO is producing a new series. The trailer reveals familiar scenes and settings, but some details, like character appearances, differ from the original books. Fans argue that a series allows for better adaptations, but inconsistencies remain, such as Harry's eye color.
