<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1333369/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this episode, we discuss some major updates for the Harry Potter TV show from an interview with some of the executives. Enjoy! Topics/Summary: ·      <a href='https://www.harrypotter.com/news/production-details-and-location-revealed-for-harry-potter-tv-series'>Read the article here</a>·      1:18 The first season will be eight hours long. That is a heck of a lot longer than the few hours we had for the first film, so what might this mean? The hope is they won’t face problems of time. If the season comes out and they make some excuse about cutting something for time, we will know something was up.·      8:21 30,000 submitted tapes? Wow. That is the number of people who auditioned for the trio. Now we have to continue to ask the age-old question, who will they cast? Will the actors play the characters from the film or the book? They had better be really good at acting and find a middle ground between the characters we know and the names on the page. ·      19:08 Peeves will be included. That was an explicit statement they made. Hopefully, this will tell us that they are in fact trying to include as many things from the books into the show as they can.·      21:16 They will keep the iconic sets and expand what we haven’t seen. They said that they want to explore the aesthetics of the castle further, while keeping the iconic sets such as the Great Hall. This is great news! Changing the original and iconic sets would be a certain disaster.·       25:40 “No one can replace Alan Rickman, but we can find the next generation.” This is great news. Alan Rickman is impossible to top, and it is good that the filmmakers have realized this. Snape is technically 31 in the first film, and Rickman has a much more ancient air about him. It is good that they aren’t trying to replace who we know and love, but expand upon their characters and show us more facets of who they are.·      29:09 Mark Rylance and Cillian Murphy and are two names that have come up for Dumbledore and Voldemort respectively. The filmmakers themselves have thrown Rylance’s name around before. He isn’t perfect, but it might work well depending on how they spin it. Ralph Fiennes himself put a stamp of approval on Murphy’s name for Voldemort, but Murphy seems just a bit too young to capture Voldemort essence.·      33:25 “We have a much larger sandbox.” I hope what they mean by this is they are going to use the basis of the films to expand into places we haven’t seen and characters we haven’t met. They have such a good chance to make this a fantastic series, all they have to do it grab it.Having anything you want to hear or say?
