<a target="_blank" href="https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/1333369/open_sms">Send us a text</a>In this episode, we design what the first episode of the Harry Potter TV show should be. Enjoy!Topics/Summary:·      1:33 We open in Godric’s Hallow. It’s important that we see the Potters as one big happy family so we can better understand the conflict of their death. For a good few minutes they’re living their lives; perhaps Sirius is there too.·      9:14 Voldemort arrives and kills them. This should be more than a few flashes of light and some long, dark cloaks. Not as scary as a horror movie, but some level of true fear might go a long way. We should also get more of Lily and James protecting Harry.·      15:25 Hagrid takes Harry away. The key part of this scene is Sirius. We only learn he was there in the third book, but to see his reaction would plant some great seeds for the later books. Hagrid is also not too distraught in the films. Only McGonagall shows any kind of emotion, which shouldn’t be so. Two people were just murdered!·      18:47 Dumbledore talks to the Dursleys. It should be too long, but he should knock on the door and explain the situation with more than a letter and a kid on their doorstep.·       20:23 Now we flash forward. Opening in Harry’s cupboard under the stairs on Dudley’s birthday. This would be a nice homage to the film. Dudley should be just as nasty, and Vernon and Petunia should be ordering Harry around just as we saw in the film.·      24:37 The reptile house. This scene should remain the same. The only change I would make is the magic. When the magic disappears, there’s a comical woosh and it’s gone. If the magic could be more magical, we might have a greater sense of awe.·      26:58 The letters and the hut on the rock. It should play out pretty much as we see it in the film, but when they arrive at the hut on the rock, Hagrid should be a little scarier than the film. He’s very lumbering and big, some more suspense would go a long way. Then, he says, “Harry, you’re a wizard” and the journey begins.Having anything you want to hear or say?
