There is a lot of buzz on the restart of HBO of Harry Potter, And Chris Columbus, who made the first two films of the fantastic franchise, has positive words to share.
Appear on The entertainment podcast, He weighed on the photos of the series, which become viral on the internet, showing that Harry (Dominic McLaughlin) and Hagrid (Nick Frost) drew what seems to be a scene to go to Diagon Alley to buy the school supplies.
“I looked online and there are photographs of Nick Frost like Hagrid with the new Harry Potter,” said the director, referring to a mixed response.
He also explained his thoughts: “And he has exactly the same costume that we designed for Hagrid. Part of me was like: “What is the point?” I thought everything [on the HBO show] The costumes and everything were going to be different. It’s no longer the same.
But he clarified that he had not seen the supposed reuse of his work of “problem”, rather “it is very flattering for me, because I say to myself: it is exactly the Hagrid costume that we designed”.
“So, part of this is really exciting. I am delighted to see what they are going to do with it.
To leave no doubt, Chris said that he had no “jealousy” on the restart. “I’m so beyond. I did it. I did that, it’s time to move on. I have always had problems with the idea of frankness.”
“When we made Gremlins and Goonies-that’s why I did not make the second Gremlins film. My attitude is that I did it and it’s time to move on with Potter,” he noted.
“I feel like I have done it … I am really proud of these films – the first three with which I was involved, and I move on to something else,” concluded Chris.
In the meantime, the shooting for the Harry Potter The series is underway, without specific release date still announced; The show should be released in 2027.
