[HPFGU-Movie] Re: The Reason Potter Films Will Never Be asRespectfully Done as LOTR

[Sherry Gomes]

I think a TV mini series could be done well with the right directors,
producers, writers.  it would make it possible to portray the full story
without annoying cuts that will probably have to come in the GOF and OOTP
movies.  I remember how much I wanted someone to make a movie of Stephen
King's the Stand.  It is my favorite of all his books, but it is so
involved, and I was afraid a feature film could never do it justice.  In the
end, they did a mini series of it, with the author very much involved in the
process, and it was wonderful.  Not unchanged, but with the characters and
true plot and story laid out thoroughly.  It could never have been done that
way in one movie.  I was glad they chose the mini series.

I think this could be the way to tell the HP story someday.  It might not be
a s dazzling as a movie in the theaters, but I think that someday, it would
be the way to go for someone who really wanted to tell the story.

In that context, I'm wondering if
the next iteration might be as a mini-series? Those lend themselves
much better to long-running, episodic tales, and BBC has an
outstanding track record of translating books and characters, at
least in the mystery genre.

As long as it is not the WB doing a bad "Harry Potter 90210" TV show, as
that terrible (and luckily a joke!) rumor declared a month ago!
But yes, I think it will take awhile for folks to get Rupert, Emma, Dan,
Tom, etc. out of their visual minds as the personification of the HP
characters.
