Emma Watson confirmed that she won’t watch the new HBO Harry Potter show.
I saw it started when Daniel, who played Harry in all eight original films, was asked whether he’d watch the new version. He explained that he’s already spent so much time in the Harry Potter world and doesn’t watch much television.
He pointed out that he hasn’t watched Breaking Bad or Mad Men, adding, “Eight hours is a lot of anything to watch.”
I can understand his point. Daniel spent years making the original films, so I don’t think it’s surprising that he might not be in a rush to watch another version.
He was also asked if he had any advice for Dominic McLaughlin, who’s taking over the role of Harry. Daniel said he didn’t want to give him advice because he doesn’t want his comments brought up in Dominic’s interviews. He also said Dominic will be amazing and hopes to meet him one day.
Emma has now joined the conversation. Underneath a post about Daniel’s comments, she wrote, “It really is! I’m rooting for the kids though”.
I like that she’s agreeing with Daniel while still backing the new cast, and I think the cast will appreciate how nice they’ve been about it.
Before you go, I wanna know, will you be watching the new series, or are the original films enough?
