Ruledditors Don't Understand Sarcasm

The entire reason this new series exists is because Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint hate Rowling for being a massive transphobe and she wants new faces for her racist books.
- Yeah, no. It exists because revenue from the first set of films is tailing off, and a retelling for a new generation in more detail is going to make billions more.
  Rowling has no greenlighting power at WBD
  
  That's correct.‡
  TWBOD Max(Time Warner Box Office Discovery Max, cause why tf not) is looking for a flagship franchises and splitting their bets on Harry Potter reboot and new DC Universe.
  They've debt of $35 billion from what I've heard.
  ‡ > A Potter series would be costly, but could prove a major subscriber draw. Zaslav soon concluded, however, that the only Potter show Warner could legally pursue without Rowling’s permission was one that stuck to the stories of the original seven books, since those were firmly in the studio’s control and not the kind of prequel or spinoff she’d clawed back the rights to years earlier.

Do you know how aging works?
Thelinkr -4 points 11 hours ago
I dont see how that makes a difference

You don’t see how a 35 year old actor playing an 11 year old character makes a difference? Are you ok?

They did it first. And they did it best. Why wouldn't they reprise their roles for the fans
OrwinBeane 3 points 11 hours ago
Because it would be fucking stupid for an adult to play an 11 year old. Do you not understand that?
Thelinkr -3 points 11 hours ago
Adults are generally better actors than children.

Getting KenM vibes
There once was an Internet rule: "Don't feed the trolls". Maybe we should re-establish this rule.
- I dunno, I thought that troll was pretty funny.
Actually you know what I'm with them. We should have them reprise their roles. Not because it would be good, but because it would be sad and funny.
- Not because it would be good
  That's where you're wrong kiddo.
  Daniel Radcliffe has been doing crazy and offbeat roles ever since he finished with Harry Potter. He'll 100% commit to this weird idea if given a chance.
  
  oh yeah my favorite of his is Swiss Army Man
