About this episode
The show’s being made too soon. The casting’s all wrong. The writers haven’t read the books. These are just a few of the overwhelming number of controversies surrounding the new HBO series.
Today I want to give you guys my honest opinion.
Right now there’s a lot of information floating around—some facts, some opinions—but whichever way you slice it, the fandom is obviously pretty divided. Which is why I think it’s time for me as a Harry Potter content creator to tell you how I REALLY feel about the show…The good, the bad and the ugly.
There’s a lot to unpack here, so let’s dive in to it.
