New Harry Potter TV adaptation: What details are you hoping get included?

[SirSamVimesCityWatch]

Things that weren't in the film adaptations, either due to technology not being available to show it on film, budget, or cutting due to run time.

Little detail: in the Philosopher's Stone, one of the ways the Hogwarts letters are delivered to the Dursley house is rolled up inside a dozen eggs, passed through the window to Aunt Petunia (as the door is already nailed shut). I would love to see Aunt Petunia cracking open eggs and finding a Hogwarts letter inside each one.

Big detail: The whole scene in which the Weasley family attempt to come get Harry from Privet Drive ahead of the Quidditch World Cup, by connecting their fireplace to the Floo network, then can't get out as it's an electric fire, end up blasting half the living room apart and Fred & George "accidentally" let Dudley eat a Ton Tongue Toffee.

What's yours? One big detail and one little detail allowed each!

Needs more scottish actors. There was only Oliver Wood and cho Chang.

I bloody loved Oliver Wood. 😍He could be somewhere in the new series!

I think we need a campaign to get James Derfuss into this, he could be Snape or Filch.

Oliver Wood in the films was one of my first real crushes. He is still very lovely 😅

Oliver Wood was quite an influence on Harry, with being his Quidditch captain. I loved him seeing Harry at the Quidditch World Cup and telling him that he'd signed to a team - it felt like a proper story arc for the lad.

In fact, thinking about it, I'd really like an almost word-for-word adaptation of the books., although I'm sure there are some bits I'd prefer left out I can't really think of many.

This makes me chuckle

And Maggie Smith!

I think Kelly MacDonald was in it two - although only for a moment. Wasn’t she Helena Ravenclaw?

Kelly Mcdonald played an English character and Maggie Smith is English as well although her mum was from Glasgow which is probably why she nailed the accent.

Yes, sorry, I meant the character not the actress.

I'd like Henry Cavill as Lockhart, Ben Whishaw somewhere just to look at 🤣, Sarah Lancashire as Mrs Weasley, Lena Headey as Bellatrix, Julie Hesmondalgh as Professor Sprout.

Henry Cavill as Sirius.

Fudge's lime green bowler hat.

Henry Cavill as anything really as long as there's lots of him 😁

I think Ben Wishaw could do an admirable Quirrell.

Ben Wishaw would be a great Quirrell!

We know Henry Cavill can rock a blonde wig so how about a delicious Lucius Malfoy.

Lesley Manville for Umbridge.

I really hope they include more of Voldemort's back story and how he managed to acquire the Horcruxes.

Ooh good Peeves news I think!

Oh!!!! So, so excited!!

This is very funny 😄

I wish there was a way to see Rik Mayall as Peeves. When I first read Philosopher's Stone first thing I thought of when i read the line "ikkle firsties, what fun!" I pictured him saying it like Drop Dead Fred.

Aiden Turner for Snape!

I can see him more as Sirius.

Ageee, can definately see him as sirius. He has a gauntness about him that would suit the character too.

Is he the Poldark bloke?

Yes, and the vampire from Being Human. I think he'd be an excellent Sirius!

He would but he's too old now. To be true to the books the actors for Sirius, Snape, Remus and Peter Pettigrew need to be early 30s. And when they show Harry's parents in photos and the Mirror of Erised they need to be actors in their early 20s.
