Thus we would know three time lines within Rowling’s magical universe: ‘Fantastic Beasts’, ‘The Marauders’ and ‘Harry Potter’.
The ‘Harry Potter’ Universe is facing a new dilemma. If you have not heard one of the most recent news of the franchise, we summarize it for you. HBO could be developing a new adaptation of JK Rowling’s novels, in series format. This remake it would explore the stories we already know, and delve into some aspects that were left out of the original film adaptations. Each season would focus on one of the novels, thus adding a total of 7 batches of episodes for HBO Max.
As a result of this, many doubts and many possible scenarios arise. The main: Is it a good idea to re-film these stories? The ‘Harry Potter’ fandom is not exactly small, and seeing the leading characters played by other actors can be an aberrational experience to say the least. The faces of Radcliffe, Grint and Watson are so associated with their characters that it can put the faithful fans of fiction in conflict.
For this reason, we can think of different possibilities of spin offs that could be well received or expected by the audience. After the launch of ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ last February, we already wondered if it would be the best possible spin-off of the franchise. Now, at this point, we reflect: Would the story of ‘The Marauders’ be the ideal story to revive the saga?
Who are ‘The Marauders’?
In case you’ve lived in a cave for the last 20 years and got here without being a die-hard fan of history, ‘The Marauders’ are a group of Hogwarts students, made up of James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupine, and Peter Pettigrew. (Is the name of any of them familiar to you?).
Yes, Harry’s father’s group of friends might be a perfect choice for a spin-off of the franchise. In novels and movies, we approach them based on flashbacks And memories. The gang that created the Marauder’s Map (fundamental to the saga) It has a very important weight in the story.
In this prequel, we could see them in their adventures around the castle: we would witness the creation and design of the map, their fights with Snape, the romance between Lily and James, the creation of the Order of the Phoenix (years later), the rise of Lord Voldemort, Pettigrew’s betrayal of the Potters… There are SO MANY things to tell.
Although the central protagonists until now have been others, ‘The Marauders’ have always been there. Wormtail, Moony, Padfoot and Antlers are guides for Harry (well, not the first one, of course). It would be a great idea to take them as a skeleton to articulate a new project. Thus, we would know three time lines within Rowling’s magical universe: ‘Fantastic Beasts’, ‘The Marauders’ and ‘Harry Potter’. If we get imaginative and add it to ‘Hogwarts Legacy’, we have history for a while.
Dreaming is free…
‘The Marauders’: Who could play them?
Put to imagine, who could give life to the young wizards? It’s always fun to generate fictional casts with our favorite performers. Here are a few ideas that could serve to fuel our relentless fan fantasies:
In addition to the main members of the group, let’s not forget other fundamental secondary members in the project.
The list could go on, since the characters involved in the plot would be many more, but what do you think about it? Who would be your favorite actors and actresses to give life to this generation of Hogwarts students?
