It’s only bone a week since HBO announced his first casting round for his new Harry Potter Adaptation and I’m already exhausted. As one of the many millennials that grew by devouring the magical world of JK Rowling just to be emotionally hit by his late rate as a professional thug, he would like this show to break at all. We do not need a new adaptation of Harry Potter. The original films streak starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint are still universally beloved. The best -selling books are still flying from the shelves. Butterbeer is still swallowed by the Gallon of Universal Studios. There is no obvious reason for this exception of corporate greed restart.
But again, what happens if there is a creative vision for the Harry Potter television series that we don’t consult?
What happens if Mark Mylod is going to kill Harry Potter?
Well, let’s take a rhythm, so you can explain my reasoning here. When I think of Mark Mylod, the first show that comes to mind is HBOS Succession. It is the series that launched the director to the stratosphere, which earned him the Emmy for “Connor’s Wedding.” This unique episode stands out as one of the best episodes not only of SuccessionBut television once, because it is surprisingly to kill Logan Roy (Brian Cox) in the middle of the season. The rest of “Connor’s Wedding” showed how pain begins as a shock before pain nods.
Last night, Mark Mylod did it again. Hello directed The last of us Season 2 Episode 2. Beidens with an incredible battle of well directed siege, full of pyrotechnics, prostheses and magic on the screen, the episode also presented Pedro Pascal, out of the new of Pedro Pascal. Joel is tortured to death by Abby (Kaitlyn Dever), transforming the approach of the one -time season.
Mark Mylod is a director who is really good to kill characters. In his recent feature film The menuHey showed us how people look died as human s’mores. Duration your career in game of ThronesHe presented and fell to Ian McShane in the space of a single episode, Cool Cersei Lannister (Lena Headey) his twisted revenge against Ellaria Sand (Indira Varma), and generated memes with the dog of Olenna Tyrell (Diana Rigg). Man can kill.
All it means is that Mark Mylod is the type of HBO when the network burns to kill an important character in a way that throws the audience to an absolute tumult. As, total collapse mode.
So, if Mark Mylod already has Harry Potter’s leg, who will he go? My money is in Harry Potter himself.
Like some who like to think of all the adaptations of books such as narratives that take place in alternative universes to what is on the page, I can excavate intellectual the idea of exploring a magical world where the “child who lived” really died. What would be the repercussions? Would we see Voldemort triumphant? Or would it be Neville Longbottom who would slide into the role of hero? What happens if Harry is not like a baby, but his first day in highwarts? Could Hermione Granger take as the protagonist of the series? It is definitely always smart enough to save the world. Suddenly there is an opportunity for this program to say something new about the series that was simply not there before!
Okay, or of course, I know there are by no means This will happen. Harry Potter doesn’t go to that. This show advances. Most likely, I watch and cover it, because watching and covering television is my work. (I also have morbid curiosity about how this is going to play).
However, during a fraction of a second last night, realizing that once again, Mark Mylod had devastated an entire fans base by killing a main character just when you least expect it … I wonder: “What will you do with Harry Potter?”
