They should make a TV show about Harry Potter as an Auror

The Sum of Awe

The Sum of Awe

Brought to you by the moment that spacetime began.
We know that Harry and Ron become Aurors at the end of the Harry Potter series. What if they made a TV series similar to NCIS or CSI that follow Harry and Ron as partners, investigating crimes and using magic to fight evil wizard enemies that commit crimes?

Maybe we see a mad wizard trying to create a Basilisk and the two have to stop him and find the egg before that happens.

Maybe we see someone placing people under the Imperius curse

Maybe someone is trying to rob Gringotts in an elaborate plan that is getting around their security system and then Harry and Ron have to stop them.

Maybe an episode that has something to do with the Deathly Hallows

Maybe one of the seasons a few of the bad guys from the episodes have something in common, and it pinpoints to a Death Eaters reconstructionist cult that is attempting to return Voldemort to life (somehow) and the season finale is Harry and Ron preventing that.

And various other ways that villains use magic for evil...

Is it specifically Harry Potter or Rowling certain net denizens are protesting? I thought when they decided to hate something it was a full package but I recently read an article that suggests it's just the author they have a problem with.

Not really into the Harry Potter universe, but might work, but personally, I would probably stay with just the movies. However, should they do it, they have to be very careful who they get to make it. Because holy ****, the last many series in a similar genre that has been released lately have been absurdly bad.

Willow is beyond insane at how poor it is.

Rings of Power was an absolute dumpster fire.

The new season of the Witcher is equally as bad as the others.

And they already destroyed Star wars, Star Trek, the whole Marvel universe, so not many left.

It seems Hollywood is in the process of just destroying IPs at the moment. So a Harry Potter show could very well go the same way.

Star Wars now has Andor, which is a
breath of fresh air because it's interesting.

Yeah, its better than the others that is for sure.

But the problem is that they have ruined the Universe itself as I see it. Because they have had too many morons fiddling with it, just making up stuff that they thought was cool, without having any clue whether it would fit or ruin things, not just in regards to tone and setting, but also in regards to how things work in the universe.

How can anyone take this seriously:



So it's sad when someone with just a tad of brain manages to make something that is decent, have to work within such a framework established by others.

Why Star Trek is better than Star Wars.....
Star Wars has 1 plot: Rebels vs The Empire.
All species have this as their plot issue.
Star Trek has many plots, eg, Federation vs
Klingons, everyone vs Q, everyone vs Borg,
Prime Directive problems, genetic enhancement
issues, dangers of space travel.
This gives Star Trek more fertile ground for
developing plots & characters.

Big question...who's more offensive....
Wesley Crusher
Jar Jar Binks

I might have to check it out, but being interested I don't know. I was such a huge Star Wars nerd I had read enough books and had seen enough interviews I already knew all the major plot points and locations of the prequels before Lucas even started making those movies.
What I'd still love to see is a Shadows of the Empire movie. And that one is really interesting because they released everything for that but a movie. Book, sound track on CD and cassette tape, video game, toys and merchandise, just like all the other movies, but this one didn't get a movie. Amd unfortunately the point was to have all the merchandising that comes with a movie release but without making a movie.

It’s just the author. I think mainly because the stars of the movie series publicly “condemned” Rowling a while back
Sure that’s the usual PR move, admittedly, but it still satisfied many in the fandom enough to at least give the overall series and related properties some leeway. Though the extent of the “boycott” does vary from fan to fan, I suppose.

I still haven't seen much placed on how her comment was just anti-woman the way it reduced women to baby makers and ignoring thay women who don't menstruate, for one reason or another, have still been called women.
It was before this, but South Park did present that line of thinking as rather crazy, dogmatic and rigid when Mr. Garrison denied this one lady, directly to her and her husband, is a woman because, for some medical reason/disorder I don't remember that stuff doesn't apply to her.:joycat:

Incorrect. The central plot of Star Wars is Light Side vs Dark side, through the cosmic duality of the Force… which appears to be perpetually at war with itself, waging war on a galactic scale but also within the hearts of Force sensitives such as Jedi and Sith.

Valid point and I agree with you there

Probably didn’t help her image (among the fandom at least) when she doubled down on her comments and even became (somewhat) accepted by the very people who condemned her for promoting witchcraft/Satanism. Read conservatives, mostly of the US kind, no offence. I guess it just served to confuse and dishearten the fanbase, who more than likely would have been trying to vigorously defend her and her work, perhaps even to their parents, as kids.

Also lol South Park is awesome

Well, the same idiots that made Rings of Power were also involved in Star Trek, which is probably why it got ruined as well. JJ Abrams has been or played a part in all of these as far as I know. Not Rings of Power, except suggesting that Amazon hired them and that went very well :D

Both Star wars and Star Trek had huge potential, but given the huge amount of fans and lore in them, it requires them to hire some people that know it, some of the real nerds, that can make sure that things stay on track.

The same with Lord of the Rings (Rings of Power) once you get these people in that have no clue what they are doing and start changing things, it goes wrong.

Don't know Wesley Crusher :D But Jar Jar was insanely annoying, but at least didn't break the lore, just a terrible character design.

Nay, it was good...just not great.
Certainly dint justify the high cost.

I thought it was some of the worse I have ever seen. :D

People teleporting around like crazy.

Sauron becomes evil because he couldn't get in the pants of Galadriel.

That nothing in it respects any of Tolkien's work. There is basically nothing in it that has anything to do with Tolkien.

How they manage to turn the Hobbits (Harfoots) into being worse than orcs. And the mere fact that the showrunners try to lie or pretend that they are not really Hobbits, by keep referring to them as Harfoots.

That the very first lines in the show make no sense, that is very impressive all in itself :D

I honestly have close to no positive things to say about it, it is awful all around, except for some of the CGI, which is fine.

A lot of people have been involved, yes, but it has at times been to profound ends and stories and characters that were known and loved. One example, the planet Coruscant, was just the City Planet until Timothy Zahn's Heir to the Empire series. The children of Han and Leia, Jason, Jaina and Anakin, made many appearances in the books until their deaths. The Sith and Jedi Codes, along with the Grey Jedi, that came from the Knights of the Old Republic video game series.

Perhaps I enjoyed it because of a singular advantage,
ie, no expectations. Been nearly half a century since
I read the books.
Harfoots struck me as pre-Hobbits.

It is not as simple as that.

Vader was with the Empire, but the Light and Dark aspects of the Force were waging war within him. The title of Episode 6- “Return of the Jedi”- is not referring to Luke… it is referring to the return of Anakin Skywalker.
