The Upcoming Harry Potter Remake's Shocking Twist Will Leave Fans in Tears
The Harry Potter Remake: Prepare for Emotionally Gut-Wrenching Death Scenes as Beloved Characters Meet Tragic Fates in Heartbreaking TV Format
The emotional impact of a particular death scene in the Harry Potter books was devastating, and the HBO remake has the potential to make it even more heartbreaking. Among the numerous deaths in Harry's story, some had a stronger impact than others. Regrettably, due to the constraints of the Harry Potter movies, these significant moments had to be minimized, depriving audiences of fully experiencing the weight of these character deaths. In some cases, the death scenes were completely omitted and only the aftermath was shown. Luckily, the upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot should have the time and opportunity to rectify this, particularly with regards to one specific character.
The first character death in Harry's story occurred in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire when Cedric Diggory was murdered in the graveyard during Voldemort's resurrection. This was the moment that marked the true beginning of the Second Wizarding War, and it was followed by many more deaths. Sirius Black perished the following year, with Dumbledore's death happening the year after. Then, in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Harry suffered the loss of so many loved ones that he barely had time to mourn them all. Sadly, the Harry Potter movies were unable to include any of these death scenes, but the upcoming Harry Potter TV remake has the potential to restore the most significant one.
The Harry Potter Remake Can Give Fred A Death Scene - & It Will Be Absolutely Heartbreaking
Harry Potter, in the book "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows", discovered the deaths of Lupin and Tonks after they had already occurred. However, he personally witnessed the final moments of Fred Weasley, unlike in the movies. Fred, known for his lively and cheerful nature, had been joking and laughing while fighting alongside his brother Percy. Their battle abruptly ended when an explosion sent them flying. As the dust settled, Harry saw Percy and Ron screaming beside Fred's lifeless body. At that moment, Harry truly understood the harsh reality of war. Fred's eyes stared blankly ahead, with the remnants of his final laugh still visible on his face.
The world had come to an end, so why hadn't the battle ceased, the castle fallen into a silent state of horror, and every participant laid down their weapons? Harry's mind was in a state of chaos, spiraling out of control, unable to comprehend the impossible, for it seemed inconceivable that Fred Weasley could be dead, and all his senses must have been deceiving him...
Thankfully, the Harry Potter reboot series can address this issue. The forthcoming HBO adaptation plans to dedicate an entire season to each book, and possibly even two seasons for Deathly Hallows. Consequently, there will be ample time to delve into the intricacies of the Battle of Hogwarts. Hence, unlike the original Harry Potter movies which failed to appropriately depict Fred's demise, the remake has the potential to render it significantly more impactful. It would be fitting if this initial fatality in Voldemort's ultimate confrontation serves as the conclusion to an episode, allowing audiences an entire week to grieve and contemplate one of the most heart-wrenching deaths in the entire Harry Potter series.
The Harry Potter Remake’s TV Format Will Mean Even Sadder Death Scenes For All Characters
Unlike the Harry Potter movies, where the deaths of Mad-Eye Moody, Remus Lupin, Nyphadora Tonks, and others occurred off-screen while Harry was engrossed in his own battles, the upcoming Harry Potter reboot series will have the opportunity to depict these tragic moments in a more detailed manner. This advantage stems from the fact that the TV adaptation is not bound by Harry's limited perspective. However, the HBO remake offers another avenue for enhancing the impact of these character fatalities beyond what the books achieved.
The deaths of characters such as Sirius, Lupin, and Tonks in the Harry Potter movies were indeed sad. However, due to the limited time dedicated to developing their characters, their deaths did not have as strong of an impact. Similarly, in the books, characters like Cedric Diggory were not extensively explored, resulting in less mournful reactions from audiences. To enhance the emotional impact, the Harry Potter reboot series could allocate approximately 10 to 15 hours per season to allow audiences to truly connect with these characters. As a result, even though the audience will already know their fate, their eventual death scenes will carry much greater weight.
