No one is forcing you to watch this show. I am glad that Harry Potter books finally have the chance to be adapted properly

Emma Watson is a horrible actress. It will be easy to replace her with more talented girl. Daniel was miscast as well. He played awkward nerd and not charming rebellious boy that Harry was. Rupert was great but Steve Kloves wrote him as useless comic relief. He wrote Hermione as this flawless smart and great at everything girl. Dumbledore was written as too agreesive and Snape as too calm and he was massively whitewashed. Voldemort often felt like parody. Making a superior adaptation won't be that hard at all. Harry Potter deserves to be properly adapted.

Harry Potter movies were not a faithful adaptation at all.

Game of Thrones can't be remade because GRRM doesn't know how to finish the books. He is not J.K. Rowling

What universe? Everything outside the main book was very weak. And Lucasfilm is not a good example how to handle a franchise at all. "Somehow Voldemort returned" is probably what we would've got in HP sequel.

First two books were adapted well. Third boom was mostly good but still ignored some major parts. But the rest of the series wasn't adapted faithfully at all because it just wasn't possible to do that in movie format

Ehhh that's not a good comparison. The original Star Wars were only ever films. Harry Potter are books first and the adaptations were very imperfect and cut a lot out. In some cases whole books were butchered in the adaptation process. There is no superior more in depth version of the original Star Wars story that the films were a mixed bag in living up to. Meanwhile it's very easy to see how you could make a 10 episode series out of each book. The content is there.

Also Stanger Things production will take a decade.

The problem with the original trio returning for a sequel is that there is no story there to tell. It would be like Star Wars sequel trilogy but even worse.

No, people always wanted another adaptation because after the the third movie the whole series felt like a Wikipedia summary.

Not true at all! This is exactly what fans were saying since the moment Game of Thrones started.

We saw what happened with Fantastic Beasts. And movies were never a good place to adapt Harry Potter anyway. It's like turning GOT into a movie series.

and that's basically it. there is no story there. no one cares about it.

Casey Bloys' involvement in negotiations is giving me confidence in the quality of the show

The movies always felt like a Wikipedia summary of the books. Character development and nuances have been lost. I do think they did an amazing job considering the constraints but Harry Potter always felt like something more suited for TV show. If they do this right and Casey Bloys' involvement in negotiations is assuring me they will, this has a chance to be the definitive adaptation and much better product than the movies.
