HarryPotter should have been a TV series from the start. Here's why:
One of the more dramatic reveals as of late, in addition to the influx of Star Wars news and Indiana Jones trailers, has been the news that HBO is going back to the magical world of Harry Potter. Not with increasingly-befuddling prequels with misleading titles, mind you, but with the name brand product itself: HBO plans to make the Harry Potter story all over again, this time as a TV series.
There is an important point to take away from this, for any reader and for any adaptation: it was the setting and the charm of the environment that made the stories appealing. The idea that a secret and magical Wizarding World full of unknown marvels was coexisting invisibly alongside the everyday world that we all inhabit sparked the imagination of an entire generation of readers who wistfully desired to wake up on their 11th birthdays with a letter in green ink delivered by owl post.
But again, that is precisely why a TV series is a much better format for the story than movies are. A series has 3, 4, or even 5 times more space to tell the story than a 2-hour movie does, and that means that the school and magical environment, and all of those minor charming moments that made the books appealing in the first place, don’t have to be cut for the sake of time.
