In this episode, we discuss how to reintroduce an old world. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:33 It’s not welcome, it’s welcome back. None of this is going to be brand new, so I’m hoping the filmmakers realize that they shouldn’t be trying to reinvent the wheel. We didn’t know what any of the characters or sets looked like when the films were coming out, but now we have an image for some of those. Now we’re past that and we don’t need a definitive answer.

· 10:59 We don’t need the background. You know when actors have lines just to introduce things to the audience? We need some degree of that or else we wouldn’t really know what was going on, but we don’t need nearly as much as we got in the films. Getting rid of the fluff is going to leave room for bigger and better things.

· 19:03 Make stuff up! They don’t have to grab everything directly from the films or books. In fact, making some new material that is still true to the story would be awesome.

· 22:54 More history. How amazing would it be to see an episode about the founders of Hogwarts? Or even just about a day in the life of a wizard hundreds of years ago? Or about the history of magic itself and the thousands or millions of years it has taken for it to evolve?

· 27:17 Some of it is going to be similar, and that’s ok. The story is the same and the characters are all the same, so we are bound to get things that are pretty close to the films or books. That’s just the nature of a remake. And it might even help us connect better with the TV show, seeing things we are already familiar with.

In this episode, we analyze the Malfoy family and discuss what should be carried over into the TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:53 Something has to change. I’m not saying something is wrong, that’s just a fact. The books are the books and the films are the films. The TV has to show us something new, and that will mean they have to change something. They can either put in more, or less. More would make them worse and more potent, and less would draw the curtain back a little and show us a softer side to them.

· 11:03 Lucius is terrible. Should we keep that? I think we should, but not for the reason you might expect. We saw enough in the films to understand that there is so much more under the surface than we might imagine. I want to see more of that.

· 14:53 Narissa is the good guy. Should we keep that? For her, it might be worth a change. We don’t know her as well because she was introduced later in the story, so if we can change some moments around to gain more perspective on her sooner, that might be more valuable.

· 19:41 Draco is the victim. Keep that? For sure. There isn’t much wrong with how he was portrayed. We got more of those deep, vulnerable scenes from him that really show us who he is. Draco is under immense pressure when Voldemort orders him to kill Dumbledore, and that should be preserved.

· 25:17 More Malfoy inner workings. We didn’t get many scenes where the three Malfoys were interacting with each other outside of other company, and those kinds of scenes might be the most important in terms of understanding who they are as a family.

In this episode, we discuss why we need more flashbacks from the Harry Potter TV show. Enjoy!

Topics/Summary:

· 1:33 The Marauders. We didn’t get any flashbacks from the Marauders in the story, even though we know a lot about the characters individually. Each of the characters are vital for Harry’s life, and their relationships define more of the story than we think. Their dynamics and choices lead to many of the major events we have in the story.

· 12:57 Snape. He is one of the densest characters we have in the story, and his past is complex. We have seen some of his flashbacks, but that was only a taste. If anything, the few moments we have seen of his past have shown us what we are missing.

· 18:40 Dumbledore. The Fantastic Beasts films were three big flash backs, but they only focused on a specific time frame. What I would really love to see is Dumbledore’s childhood in Godric’s Hallow, and then his search for horcruxes in greater depth.

· 24:11 Voldemort. We have seen something of his childhood, but nothing too in depth. However, what I would love to see is his transformation into Voldemort. The closest thing we have is when his eyes flashed red while holding Hufflpuff’s cup for the first time, but I want more than that.
