But within minutes of the trailer dropping, people on Twitter were comparing almost every detail to the original films.<\/p>\n<p>Here are all the details people are already dragging about the new <a href=\"http:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/tag\/harry-potter\/\">Harry Potter<\/a> series.<\/p>\n<h2>The colour grading is giving very little magic<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Crazy how old movies used to have dynamic colors and now everything is just dark, grey, and blue <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vIn9pivncd\">https:\/\/t.co\/vIn9pivncd<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; bumbadum (@bumbadum14) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/bumbadum14\/status\/2095305771588124732?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 3, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>One of the biggest complaints about the trailer is how dark and grey everything looks. People have been comparing the new footage to Harry Potter and the Philosopher\u2019s Stone from 2001, and the difference is pretty obvious. The original film had loads of warm colours and bright lighting, especially when Harry first discovers the wizarding world.<\/p>\n<p>Now, people think the new series looks much more gloomy. One person&nbsp;posted a comparison and said the trailer was a \u201cdirect attack on warm lighting, magic, and whimsy\u201d, adding that \u201cthe entire trailer feels dark and grim\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>Another person wrote, \u201cCrazy how old movies used to have dynamic colours and now everything is just dark, grey, and blue.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2>People think Hogwarts looks exactly the same<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">The new Harry Potter trailer just dropped, and the reason we\u2019re all universally upset is that they\u2019ve made it look almost exactly like the original\u2014the Great Hall is the same, the Hogwarts uniforms are virtually unaltered, the dialogue is eerily familiar\u2014while swapping out enough\u2026 <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/vmnEiqN1vA\">pic.twitter.com\/vmnEiqN1vA<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Liza Libes (@pensandpoison) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/pensandpoison\/status\/2095252291796214157?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The Great Hall, Hogwarts uniforms and loads of the production design look incredibly similar to the original films, which has left people wondering how different this adaptation is actually going to be.<\/p>\n<p>One theory doing the rounds is that Warner Bros. simply can\u2019t change too much because so much of the Wizarding World already uses the original film designs.<\/p>\n<p>Hogwarts has been recreated in Universal theme parks, Harry Potter Studios in London and countless pieces of merchandise, from Lego sets to toys and games.<\/p>\n<p>There is also the obvious fact that Hogwarts is described in the books, so some similarities are to be expected. But after nearly 25 years of the films being the visual version of Harry Potter for fans, the comparisons were always going to happen.<\/p>\n<h2>The new cast are being compared to the original actors<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Groundbreaking. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/0IvUbxRbm1\">pic.twitter.com\/0IvUbxRbm1<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Ethan Anderton (@Ethan_Anderton) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/Ethan_Anderton\/status\/2095168621358043178?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Some viewers think the new actors are actually taking inspiration from the performances of the original cast.&nbsp;Nick Frost\u2019s Hagrid has already been compared to Robbie Coltrane\u2019s version, while Janet McTeer\u2019s McGonagall has reminded people of Maggie Smith.<\/p>\n<p>One person on Twitter described the whole thing as looking \u201cexactly the same\u201d despite having a different cast.<\/p>\n<p>At this point, it seems the new cast are going to have a very difficult job convincing people they\u2019re watching a completely new version rather than a new group of actors stepping into roles everyone already knows.<\/p>\n<h2>The troll is getting absolutely dragged<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">They&#39;ve got better CGI now and they made it look worse than before.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Potter <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/9EnhjjSioz\">pic.twitter.com\/9EnhjjSioz<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; AdnaanJnr (@AdnaanJnr) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/AdnaanJnr\/status\/2095271238901916024?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The troll scene has also become one of the biggest memes from the trailer.

One viewer posted a comparison and asked why the new production had redesigned some of the details when so much of the uniform still looks practically identical.<\/p>\n<p>The whole thing has added to the argument that HBO is trying to make the series feel new without actually changing the things people remember most.<\/p>\n<p>And when you\u2019ve got millions of people who have spent years looking at the original Hogwarts uniforms, they\u2019re obviously going to notice even the smallest differences.<\/p>\n<h2>People still don\u2019t understand why we needed another Harry Potter<\/h2>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Kind of hilarious that the Harry Potter show is basically shot for shot the original and has no reason to be made other than the fact it\u2019s absolutely going to be the most watched show in the history of HBO and make a trillion dollars.<\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Luke Barnett (@LukeBarnett) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/LukeBarnett\/status\/2095236407761805344?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">September 2, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.x.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>The new series does have one major advantage over the films, which is more time to properly adapt the seven books. That means storylines and details that had to be cut from the films can potentially get more space. But the trailer has made some people feel like they\u2019re getting the same story, same locations, same costumes and even similar performances, just with different actors.<\/p>\n<p>One person called it \u201cbasically shot for shot the original.\u201d They said it had \u201cno reason to be made\u201d other than the fact it will probably be hugely successful.<\/p>\n<p>And then there\u2019s the wider Harry Potter conversation around <a href=\"https:\/\/thetab.com\/filmshrine\/2026\/09\/03\/jk-rowling-backs-hbo-harry-potter-teaser-trailer-as-people-vow-to-boycott-show\/\">JK Rowling<\/a> and her public views on trans people. For some former fans, that alone is enough reason to stay away from the reboot. Trans people deserve to exist without having their rights turned into a culture-war talking point. And understandably, some people don\u2019t want to financially support the wider franchise anymore.<\/p>\n<p>But despite that, the new Harry Potter series is still going to have plenty of people tuning in. The real question is whether the trailer has convinced you to watch it, or put you off completely.<\/p>\n<p><script>var pd_tags = new
