By my count, it has now been more than three years since the second part of The Deathly Hallows film hit the theatres.
I have one question: is it still too early to hope that they are finally going to start work on a remake? One that's better than the first? One that actually stays true to the book and doesn't undermine everything J.K. Rowling's awesome original stood for?
Actually, I am only partly kidding. As anyone who has read this blog with any regularity will know, I really detest the last two (and perhaps three) of the films made of Rowling's works.
I have no issues with the actors -- I thought Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint were excellent choices for the major child roles. It's just the decisions made by the screen writers that I abhor.
So, what do you think? Can we start hoping to hear an announcement that work has begun on the remakes soon? And can we ask for veto rights on the script?
Hi! Just popping in to say that I really enjoy your blog. You bring up some interesting points (like with the portraits) Currently I'm re-reading Chamber of Secrets (in French), so your posts about the French editions are what made me find your blog! Anyhow, keep up the great work! :)
