I've been saying that HP would have worked way better as a TV series, the movies skip a lot of world building stuff and side stories.
That being said, it could still turn out to be a soulless cash grab.
Agree with this. I think the world building of HP is vastly superior to the narrative. A slower progression of the story can only help.
I wonder if they'll reuse any of the old set (or locations), Warner Bros has them in a massive warehouse, https://lemm.ee/post/3947535.
As a person who was a potterhead before they even made any movies, I am personally thrilled they're taking another stab at the property. I personally feel like the casting for most of the characters was quite poor. So I'm thrilled to see what another production will do with the HP universe.
