I've been watching the various stories and announcements regarding the HBO remake of Harry Potter, and I don't think it will do justice to the books or games already published. I think they will deviate even more from the original source material than the first films did by merging characters or completely removing them and adjusting different parts of the stories to fit whomever they cast as the main characters. That would change it in such a way as to be a completely different story than the books or original films. I've always been more of a "If it ain't broken, don't fix it." Kind of person, and though the original films didn't exactly follow the books and things were left out, they did at least try to stick with how each character was written in what the characters backstory was going to be and what the characters were described as looking like. Unless they will be staying true to the original source material in relation to the characters in both storyline and looks, I won't bother to watch it.
