Harry Potter
Summary
While the upcomingHarry PotterTV serial will basically be a Modern adjustment of the books , certain canon change made by source J.K. Rowling in late years should be neglect by the newfangled serial publication . While accurate detail are still blurred , it would seem that the HBO Max show will espouse the plot of land of the book , the same as the film series did . This remaking will be a swell opportunity to fix any mistakes made in theHarry Pottermovies , as well as admit some much - lose details from the original books that were n’t include the first time around .
The Potterverse , a.k.a . the Wizarding World , is so large that it was amplify past its original sevenHarry Potternovels that were split into eight films . Fantastic Beasts and Where To Find Them , which was originally a fancied guide in the record , was itself turned into three photographic film . The West End play , Harry Potter and the Cursed Child , followed 15 years after theHarry Potter and the Deathly Hallows : Part 2 ’s ending . With such a sprawl world comes retcons and change , butJ.K. Rowling has made weird Harry Potter canon alterationsover the years . They require to be drop in the novel serial publication .
8Vernon Dursley’s Political Opinions
Harry’s Uncle Doesn’t Need To Be Talking Politics
In 2016 , J.K. Rowling replied to a social media C. W. Post confirming that Harry ’s Uncle Vernon would have voted farewell in the UK Brexit referendum . Even though there ’s no jeopardy of this especial subject come up in the new remake , visit as theHarry Potterseries is mainly coiffure in the 1990s , this does n’t mean that Mr. Dursley wo n’t suddenly be more outspoken about his political opinions . Of course , the character was always quite point-blank and bigoted towards wizardkind , but human political sympathies were never concentre on previously , and there ’s no reasonableness for that to change .
7Nagini Is A Human Woman
Rowling’s Blood Curse Explanation Raises More Questions Than Answers
Fantastic Beasts : law-breaking of Grindelwaldrevealed that Voldemort ’s pet snake and familiar , Nagini ( Claudia Kim ) , was once a human fair sex . While , in theory , this is n’t even close to beingJ.K. Rowling ’s forged Harry Potter retcon , it ’s still strange . Rowling ’s explanation for it was that Nagini was a Maledictus , a human with a blood curse who could plow into a Hydra . However , asNagini was a Horcrux , the Dark Lord often milked spitefulness from her fangs and drink it to regain his strength , as established inHarry Potter and the Goblet of Fire . Nagini actually being a human only offers more plotholes than it does fixes , regrettably .
6Delphini Riddle
The Existence Of Bellatrix And Voldemort’s Daughter Makes No Sense
One of the biggest reveals that came after theHarry Potterfilm franchise was the foundation ofDelphini , the daughter of Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange , inHarry Potter and the Cursed Child . According to the modification in canon , Delphini was born in secret at Malfoy Manor in later March 1998 , which is the same metre that the case of Dobby ’s last come .
Seeing as these two moments line up , where Bellatrix was clearly not fraught and still on her demented warpath , theHarry Potterremake would have to address this . detail on just how she was able to give birth and attempt to kill Harry and the others at the same time would need to be provided , although it is likely to be complicated . Either Delphini was being hidden in another elbow room , or Bellatrix was managing to hide her gestation , but the entire concept just experience too implausible .
5Hogwarts Can’t Be Completely Free
The Ministry Covering Costs Retcons Big Plot Points
One retcon that fuck up a yap in severalHarry Potterplot points get along from Rowling ’s reveal in 2015 that Hogwarts came with no costs . However , this does n’t make any sense . Both the al-Qur’an and filmHarry Potter and the Philosopher ’s Stoneshowed Harry ( Daniel Radcliffe ) receiving his inheritance from his parents , which he was able to use to devote for everything . When Hagrid ( Robbie Coltrane ) gives him a inclination of matter he ’ll need , Harry is ready to ask how he will be able to pay for it all .
4Wizards Didn’t Used To Use Toilets
This Tiny Detail Would Be Better Left Out In The Harry Potter Remake
Although a small detail , one alteration to theHarry Potterretcon was that Wizardkind did n’t use traditional Muggle plumbing until the eighteenth century . Until this happened , they would simply ease themselves where they digest and then make the evidence disappear . This seems an strange facial expression to conform , consideringHarry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsrelies on a toilet to assist guard up a big majority of its plotline .
Even though the dates do n’t delineate up , it seems odd that it was never mentioned before . Hogwarts ghost Moaning Myrtle , who had pass decades as a ghost in a bathroom , should have surely been aware of this , and it would make sense for her to remark on perhaps not dying if the original method was still the case at the clock time of her demise . determine as this fact was constitute age after the release of the books and films , it feels more like a funny titbit , rather than something that should be debate official canyon .
3Divination Is Obsolete
Retconning Divination Would Lose One Major Character
In 2015 , Rowling take that divination was not really a subject , rather assign it to coincidence instead . Divination Studies was an authoritative and oftentimes reference course of instruction , especially inHarry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban . If the remake were to treat prophecy as Rowling does , it would cause several big plotholes .
It would mean that there be no use for Professor Trelawney , who also made Voldemort ’s prognostication , which would make this huge report element redundant . It also means that Hermione have the prophecy grade would suddenly be out of character reference for her . Hermione ’s exercise of the prison term - turner was so she could take multiple subject that overlapped , and even if she did finally drop the depicted object due to focus , she was n’t the kind of character who would waste her time on something that was not deserving it , which contradict Rowling ’s characterization of her .
2How The Time Turner Works
The Cursed Child’s Changes To Time Turners Causes Problems
Harry Potter and the Cursed Childfollowed a taradiddle of clip travel and alternate timelines , make some significant canon changes to the time - turner . Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkabangave some rather precise and rigorous normal for the prison term - turner , including a demarcation of locomote back a maximum of five hours . However , The Cursed Childintroduced a new time - turner , one that seemingly had no boundary .
These unexampled metre - turners felt like they were introduced for the sake of the chronicle ’s appliance more than anything else . While the " true " time - Frederick Jackson Turner were produce by former Slytherin educatee Theodore Nott , and introduced sometime after the Battle of Hogwarts , it would n’t be surprising if Rowling decided to change the canon so they appear earlier in the timeline . If HBO design on incorporating these fresh versions into the remaking , it ’ll just refine a lot of traditional knowledge that was already set in stone .
1Instant Polyjuice Potion
A Change To Potions Lore Could Make Chamber Of Secrets Very Different
Yet anotherplothole fromHarry Potter and the Cursed Childcould get a large plot trouble for the original series . Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secretsestablished that polyjuice potion needed to initially grudge for 21 days and then have fluxweed picked during a full moon added to it , take the integral cognitive operation around a calendar month to complete . InThe Cursed Child , the potion is used by Albus , Scorpius , and Delphini to sneak into Hermione ’s office staff .
However , the three seem to craft the potion now . Even if this could be put down to the pacing of the play ’s script , with the crafting of it done off - degree , it seems odd that they would n’t know the common metre - consuming process . If this point modification is then repeat in the HBO remake , it would make the events ofThe Chamber of Secretsvery unlike , once again changing the original , establishedHarry Potterlore .
