The Harry Potter movies did a lot of things right, but they completely robbed us of some of the books’ most legendary, devastating, and hilarious moments. With the new HBO series on the horizon, the showrunners finally have the one thing the film directors never did: time.
If this new adaptation wants to build a living, breathing magical world instead of just a Hollywood movie set, they cannot afford to cut corners. We are breaking down the five crucial book-only elements that HBO absolutely must include to do J.K. Rowling’s original story justice. From a chaotic poltergeist’s one-man war against Dolores Umbridge to the absolute assassination of Ginny Weasley’s character, here is everything the movies missed—and how the new TV show can finally fix it.
