    Wonder if it could actually be made?

      I loved those books. I read all 7 volumes of them aloud to my kids, after I'd read them for myself. I read the last one in a very miserable 24 hour period stuck at JFK.

      Having said that, I think maybe they'd be better off doing stories with different characters set in the same universe.

      I was only joking

        I don't know. The Creatures movies were pretty dull. No investment in the characters.

        We enjoyed them too. We'd get the audio books and listen on driving vacations.

          It's the same Potterverse, just ten years after Deathly Hallows. The main four actors are currently the right age. I haven't seen the play, but it won several awards, even though some fans say it violates canon.

          Because of the time-travel element, I'm not sure how a movie (actually, a series of movies) could be done. But leave it to Hollywood...

              I actually like the casting of Newt. I just think the storyline of the series could be stronger and some of the casting is too politically correct.

                The Harry Potter franchise is out of new ideas.

                  Yes, you're right.

                  I think what sucked me into the Harry Potter books was the fact that the first one reminded me so much of books I read as a kid - old fashioned children's fiction. The series changed from this as time went on, and became more "modern", but for me that was the hook.

                  I think it lost a lot of its charm when it became a franchise.

                    Well, even Rowling admitted she screwed up Deathly Hallows. Harry and Hermione should have been together, not Ron and Hermione. The greatest witch of her age belonged with the greatest warlock of his age.
