I haven't been able to post for a while but this hit me like a trainwreck...
Did no one else realize that the Malfoys are essentially just the mirror image to the Dursleys? I mean the Dursley's were all fat, with ruddy skin, dark hair, they hated the Potters (mostly Harry) and all things to do with magic, especially the father which was passed down to the son, but it was revealed towards the end that the son and mother actually kind of liked Harry, or at least regretted their actions, but during the rest of the movies we can see the son bullying Harry and inferiors relentlessly, and all the Dursley's being stuck up. The Malfoy's were all skinny as heck, paler than milk, abnormally blond hair, they hated the Potters (mostly Harry) and all things to do with muggles, especially the father which was passed down to the son, but it was revealed towards the end that the son and mother actually kind of liked Harry, or at least regretted their actions, but during the rest of the movies we can see the son bullying Harry and inferiors relentlessly, and all the Malfoy's being total and complete bigots. Well played Joanna Katherine Rowling, well played.
"I'll follow you anywhere Harry!" she said with a sigh and grabbed his other arm. "It's just a terrible idea."
"Kind of like riding a dragon out of Gringotts?" Ron asked.
Harry thought he knew how it worked, a turn for each hour. He turned five perfectly.
"Harry, wait!" Hermione grabbed his arm; he was unable to complete the sixth turn.
They were frozen in time. They stood there for what felt like an eternity, watching the world move backwards around them. They stood in a swirl of colours and people walking around them unseeing. Sometimes a witch or wizard would pass right through them. Eventually, time slowed down. The swirling stopped, and they were once again in the Ministry of Magic. Everything was quiet.
"Harry, this Time-Turner doesn't go back hours!" Hermione cried exasperatedly. "Look at the date!"
Harry glanced at the ancient Time-Turner: it was large and ornate, apart from that it looked like a simple egg timer, sand trickled gently from top to bottom. Along to the top was a date: 'August thirtieth 1943'. The Time-Turner had not gone back for hours, just like Hermione had said. What was more worrying was that it had gone back decades.
When it was revealed that HBO would reboot Harry potter, I held out hope that it would get right more things then the films did. Jude Law isn't playing an older Dumbledore which sucks. But I have faith HBO knows what it's doing with its casting. Yes, What they did with Snape's not that bad. He can be like a reverse MCU Mordo. Someone who isn't noble, but still on the right side. I actually don't mind if it's Papa in the role if they go through with it. As for everything else I want to happen, I thought I'd put 1 submission per book, So here we go with everything I want HBO to do in the first one which has 2 names for some reason.
We see Dumbledore and Mcgonagall at the Dursley's front door on the outside. Mcgonagall tells Dumbledore she's not sure about this as Dursleys seem less moral than those there without magic, and more misguided. Dumbledore admits that he's also troubled by what they're about to do, But says they have no choice as since Lilly's sister is one of them, Living with Dursleys will allow Harry to keep his special magic, And it can be used to keep himself. Although still reluctant, Mcgonagall agrees with her boss and friend’s plan. Then she asks if Hagrid was the right choice to be the one to pick up Harry and bring him here. Dumbledore says he trust Hagrid with his life. Then Hagrid arrives. No-one but Dumbledore knows his mother was a giant. This keeps Hagrid safe from how racist most wizards were at the time. At least for now. He gives Harry to Dumbledore. But says he’s worried this might be a mistake as the people Harry is left don’t know what exactly happened to his parents or the conflict they were involved in. Dumbledore says that can work to their advantage as Harry will need some time away from all that till he’s ready.
We then cut to when Harry is at that Zoo for Dudley’s birthday. Dudley acts a bit spoilt like Stella in Helluva Boss, which no one’s bothered by. Harry’s bothered but keeps to himself. But this triggers his magic opening a door and letting a snake out. Harry tells it to not hurt anyone, And to his surprise, The snakes says back that he understands and just slivers away basically running for it. he goes off to alert some staff. But by the time he finds one and tells him what happened, The Snake already got out the building. Dudley and his friend don’t fall in through that glass wall though. Harry rejoins the others and Harry is unsure what just happened. He tells them what happened and Vernam says at least non of them were affected by this.
The Dersleys are not as bad as they were in the books and films. They are however quite bad as they don’t see Harry as family as they should because Petunia wasn’t a magic user like Lily was. So they act like he’s their neighbour that they don’t exactly hate but don’t like at all either. So yeah, They’re still quite bad. It gets worse too. Harry finds that letter for him, Vernam says it was sent to him by mistake, It comes again, And venom tries to have them outrun it by going to a hotel. But when they got to that Hotel, Hagrid was there waiting for them. And he was furious with Vernam and Petunia. He says that letter was actually for Harry and Hands it to Harry. It says he is to attend Hogwarts and Petunia explains that her sister got to attend Hogwarts, but she wasn't able to because Lily was the only one who could use magic. Petunia felt sad due to having this sort of disadvantage. She Felt she was in Lilly's shadow, and that's what made her fall out with Lily. Hagrid says he needs to go to Hogwarts so he can control his magic. And Harry and even the Dursleys agree that Hagrid has a point, So Harry goes with Hagrid.
Hagrid then takes Harry to Leaky Cauldron were everyone is amazed to see him. He gets Hedrick and his school supplies. Due to this, they run into the Malfoy family who talk about blood purity then walk off. Later, Harry asks Hagrid why he’s famous in the Wizarding world, And Hagrid says that there were other wizards and witches who had that "pure blood" character flaw the Malfoy family shown to have, But they took it to an even worse level. They joined a guy who made a nick name for himself and help this guy conquer the world so that when he did, he would get rid of the mangle born and have pure bloods remain. and they also wanted to wipe out or even worse enslave the muggles since this “pure bloods” character flu had gotten so bad that they didn’t see them as people but instead no more then unholy savages. This guy with a name he made for himself didn’t give a fuck about what these pure bloods wanted, As he only agreed to it so he could get more people to serve him so they can get him what he wanted which was more power and more control over others. Harrys parents were part of the forces who fought against him. They fought each other at some point during Halloween for some reasons. This guy killed James and Lilly. But when he tried to do the same to Harry, Something went wrong and the blast he tried to use on Harry bounded off him and hit him instead. Some say he died, Others say he did not, but was still no longer a problem as he was like a living ghost too weak to continue trying. This stopped him and his army too as they couldn’t keep it together without their leader. And that is why Harry is famous, As it was his interaction with this guy that put a stop to his evil campaign. Even if it was by accident.
Then Harry and Hagrid went to get Harry on the Hogwarts Express And unlike in the book and film, Hagrid actually shows Harry how to find the Hogwarts Express. Harry goes through that iconic magic wall Hagrid remains on the other side. On the train, Harry has a nice chat with Ron and they take about the house at Hogwarts. Ron tells Harry that most of the people who sided with the guy who gave himself a nickname and if that guy himself was in slithering. And Harry says he has heard of that man, say that although already defeated, he done so much horrible things that people prefer no one say the nickname He gave himself. Ron acts as someone Harry can ask for information about the Wizarding World haven lived in it his whole life, and tells him that there are no rules or laws against saying that name he knows of but it is true that this guy done so much evil that people prefer to call him instead ”He who must not be named” or “you know who”. Then they all arrive at Hogwarts, And Hagrid meets up with them at the station to lead the first years to the great hall on boats. I think I heard a rumour saying that is were the first episode ends. When they first see Hogwarts itself.
Later in the season, Neville makes it clear that he's starting off pathetic before developing into a badass but losing control of the broom he was on during the first broomstick lesson, Which results in him cartoonishly being bumped to a wall and rendered unconscious. Madam Hooch carries him to the hospital and doesn’t bother telling the students not to flip while she’s off. Given what’s about to go down, Why fucking bother? Malfoy acts like a complete dick head by picking up the remembrall Neville left dropped. Harry says that is not his, But Draco flies off on the brown because he doesn’t want to give it back to Neville. Harry flies after him and tell Draco to stop it as if he was another adult telling a misbehaving child off. Draco throws the orb as some sinister game of catch, for if Harry fails to catch, he won’t be able to get the remembrall back to Neville. Harry catches it, and Mcgonagall cheers and claps because she found someone with enough talent to make a seeker. She says she can take Harry to Neville to get his remembrall back, But she wants to meet up with Oliver Wood on the way there. Harry takes the offer. And they meet up with Oliver Wood to let him know Mcgnagall found a perfect seeker for Gryffindor‘s quidditch team. Mcgnagall fulfilled her end of the bargain and leads Harry to Neville so he can give him the remembrall.
But later in the season, Harry and Ron noticed Neville was going somewhere. Harry and Ron decided to follow to check he was alright. Herminie reluctantly comes with to make sure nothing bad happens. They meet up with Neville and ask why he out of the Gryffindor dormitory this late. He says they he cant remember the password and was told it would be shown here. There was no sign of the password though. And these 4 eavesdrop Dumbledore, Mcgnagall, Sprout, Quirrell, Snape and Flitwick exit a teacher only area and talk about Fluffy being calmed down by music, but still being useful in keeping the stone safe. none of them notice the 4 hearing them and the 4 decide to head back. On their way, They discover the password was not going to be shown at that place. Mouthy left a note telling Neville that to try and trick him into getting in trouble. Preying on how pathetic Neville was at this point is bad fuck immoral on Draco’s part, But the 4 decide to not bother confronting him over it as no damage was done. When they get back, Hermine complains at the 3 because they risked getting her and themselves into trouble because they were out later then said they may. Then storms the fuck off. Leaving a fucking bad impression on Ron and Harry. This sets up them all being great friends, But we will get to that.
Later, Ron says to Harry he finds Hermione a bit of a know it all. Hermione looks sad about it, And Harry politely says to Ron and If he wanted to let him know of something that he thinks she head Ron say that. Later, Harry and Ron notice she’s been crying in the bathroom. Ron feels shame as his sure it’s because of what he said, and Harry comforts him as Ron meant not that much bad of harm. Then someone says there’s a giant in the castle. yes, I said giant. let me explain. I know we had both trolls and giants in the books and films, But I think this have just giants. Also, make the giants be as tall and bulk as the MCU Hulk and their faces and skin looks similar to that of Oni18064’s design of Ulik, But they bother to wear boots instead of risking foot cuts by being barefoot.
At least, That’s how I wanted giants to look given what’s to come in later seasons. Anyway, the giant is down there throwing a tantrum off how wizards see and treat other creatures with similar intelligence which we will also delve into in later seasons. As the students are sent to the dormitory’s to stay safe and away from this, Harry and Ron notice Hermione is not with the group and fighter out there but don’t know she’s down there. So they sneak off to go get her. They make the giant trip and fall out the bathroom, which allowed the teachers to capture it. When they ask Harry and Ron why there are here, Hermione says it was her fault as she chooses to not go to the great hall but stay in the bathroom and cry but not tell anyone. Then says if Harry and Ron had not come for her, She’d probably be dead. Mcgonagall says if she told someone she didn't want to show up, They would have known to get her and Harry and Ron would not need to sneak off to save her. So she takes 10 house points from her and give 10 each to Ron and Harry for trying to make sure she not literarily whacked to death. The teacher send the 3 back to the Gryffindor dormitory. Ron apologises to Hermione for what he said and Hermione says it’s ok and thanks the 2 from coming back for her. And thus, the series trio is fucking complete. So drink some Champagne to that if you can.
Later in the season, Mcgonagall mails Harry the Nimbus 2000, He takes it to compete in the Quidditch match. Someone makes his broomstick shake match and Ron and Herminie think it's Snape because they see him chanting something. Herminie pulls snaps rubes from under the seats without anyone on those seats noticing she was even near Snape when it happened because she was being stealthy at the time, And it case Snape to fall over. Harry's broomstick is back to normal and he catches the snitch which wins Gryffindor the match. Even though it's weird that the other stuff in Quidditch usefully doesn't mean shit when catching the snitch does. oh fuck, how it was simpler back in the day.
Harry is then given the Invisibility Cloak which once belonged to James for Christmas. He later uses it to sneak around to try and find the Philosopher's Stone and finds mirror that show him with his parents. He then takes Ron to see it, And he sees a different desire of his heart. When they get back, Ron asks Harry not to bother looking for it again as isn't not worth the risk. And Harry agrees. So Harry only see's that mirror again at the final battle of the season.
Later in the school year, the trio visit Hagrid. Hagrid the kids that he was negotiated with someone holding a dragon egg refusing to share his identity. He said he'll only give him the egg so Hagrid can look after it and make sure it's hatched and the dragon is ok if and only if Hagrid talks about fluffy. Hagrid felt he had no choice. The trio agrees that it was best to do so, so the dragon is ok, and it hatches. Ron mentions Charlie Wessaly since he works with dragons. Hagrid says he wanted to take in and look after a dragon, But only if he's capable. And he's willing to give this dragon to those who can look after it if he can't. Ron says he can tell charily to send someone to check in. Then the see Snape spying on them, then leaving. Harry tells Ron and Hermione he suspects Snape is trying to get Hagrid in trouble. Ron and Hermione suspect that as well as they not only think it was Snape messing with Harrys broom that day, But that he was kind of a jerk to his students not of his Hogwarts house including Neville which will result him Snape being Neville's worst fear in season 3. So they form a plan.
Ron goes with Hagrid to Dumbledore to talk about the dragon, And Dumbledore has no problem with any of it. Ron asks Dumbledor he can ask Snape to come because I want to ask why he was watching Hagrid shad when he hatches. Snape comes in and says he was watching Quirrell saying he needed to get something near the forest. Harry and Herminie then take the opportunity to sneak into his office to find any evidence. Then Mcgonagall shows up saying Draco told him something was happening there and she ran into Neville who seemed to try and warn them she was coming and asks them all to speak to her in another place in the castle so she can get to the bottom of this. Harry and Hermione tell her they think Snape has gone rogue since they think it was him messing with Harry‘s broom. Mcgonagall asks why they didn't talk to her about it, And they say it's because they thought they should wait until they had proper evidence and the snuck into his office to try and find it. Mcgonagall say it would have been best to just go talk to them about it without evidence it would have saved them the fiasco that just happened as Draco broke some rule to sneak around the school or something like that so he can find out their place and warn her about it, And Neville tried to warn them that Draco warned Mcgonagall. She says they misunderstood and that Snape was chanting to free Harry's broom from that jinx. She says no-one knows who sent the Jinx. Because they snuck into a teacher office after this misunderstanding, She takes some points from Herman and Harry and they don't protest and they understand why she does so. She also takes points from Neville since he tried to cover what they were doing up from them. She tells them their detention doesn't happen yet, It will be like being sent to aid a staff at Hogwarts only once in a later date. She gave Draco that detention too since he broke some rules to warn her as I said. No point taken From him though. And although Charlie wasn't able to make it. The people he sent and Hagrid settled for the dragon being taken to a good home. Hagrid didn't even break any laws in this since he talked to qualified professionals first.
It wasn't that much point off Gryffindor this time as they were in 2nd place, So they were still in front of Hufflepuff and Revenclaw. However, This incident allowed Slytherin to get in first place which will enable them to win the house cup later this year. The trio see people of Gryffindor and even of Hufflepuff and Revenclaw sad about it. See, Slithering is mostly about racist blood purity, And yet they're gonna win. It's like rewarding people for racist and unacceptable behaviour that shouldn't be rewarded. No one point at any of em for it, But Harry, Ron who wasn't caught like the other 2 were and Hermione feel shame as they see these other students. They're miserable as something unacceptable happened and it was because of them. Everyone hates racism I guess.
The time comes for that thing Mcgonagall said detention was and she sends Harry, Hermione, Neville and Draco to help Hagrid with something in the forbidden forest. Someone has been taking blood from magical creatures there like Stand Tsung came to select some simple some Baraka in MK1's base story mode. Then they see this hooded figure who is forced to retreat by Firenze. He then talks about people using Dark Magic and that Voldemort is the most notorious of doing so I think it's where the nickname the guy gave himself is "Voldemort". Also, I thought we might as well mix the unicorns and creatures into 1 race in this new HBO Harry Potter continuity as well. So I suggest they have Voldemort not need that hooded figure to kill any creatures as all needed is monthly blood sample. They’re also anthro unicorns with some white or black instead of white, and they all wear Moonshadow Elf Assassin because they live in forests.
When they get back, Ron, Harry and Harmony see Neville on the bed crying over Slytherin being in first place. Even though Gryffindor is only in second place. Harry wants to try and cheer him up, And Ron says they might be nothing he can Do, And Harry agrees. Poor blundering Neville. He tried to stop Harry and Hermione from being use to reward racist and therefore unacceptable behaviour, But ended up being used that way himself.
The trio notice something. Usually when the teachers go into the teachers go into that teacher only area to cheek the stone is Safe, They all do it together, But one of them went in alone. They can't tell which one though. They decide to check up, And if necessary, Stop the Stone from being stolen. Neville then asks them to not go through with it as it's not their place to resolve issues like that and says they might get Gryffindor in trouble again. He says he's willing to fight them if they don't listen to him and risk getting their house in trouble again. But Herminie renders him unconscious with magic and puts him in bed like in the film. They don't have any failed attempts why they get caught trying to sneak they. It only took them one try without any noticing them get there thanks to the look harry now had.
Thy run into Fluffy who is instead a 1 headed dog as still bigger then a normal dog as I thought Fluffy and Fang should be the same character in this pitch as well. He looks something like this.
Bakar are a breed of large dogs native to the Dragon Isles, mainly the Azure Span and the Ohn'ahran Plains. They are domesticated as compani
Harry uses the flute to calm him down, Allowing them to pass to the next room. They see the devil's snare in the next. Ron points out he remembers the spell needed to get past them and tells the other 2 of it as they were taught it in class this year, And all 3 use it to get past the snare. Ron is puzzled why the stone is cursed by things people can get part with was say they did. Hermione says it might be because they count on once having every skill needed to get through all the challenges. Then Harry gets the right key on wings to open the door, Ron wins a life sized chest game to get them through to the nest room though he fell of a shut that was slashed to bits to do it, And Hermine confirmed to Harry which position to drink to get to the same before heading back to make sure Ron's ok because she can't come with.
Harry then finds Quirrell when he reaches that mirror he found earlier this season who says He and the other 2 made the right choice coming down her as they were right. The staff at Hogwarts had been betrayed. Harry thought it was gonna be Snape as although Mcgonagall said Snape wasn't trying to kill him, She gave no evidence to back that up. Quirrell said there was someone on the back of his head he though him tried to, But what happened with Snape made him. fall other too which freed Harry's Broom. Which confirms to Harry that Snape was trying to save me. Quirrell then said it was he who broke into Gringotts the Harry and Hagrid left Diagon Alley, That it was him who let that grant in on Halloween so he can try to sneak in, And it was him with the help of the guy on the back of his head, found the egg for Hargrid so he can know how to get past fluffy, and that he did all that so the guy on the back off he his head can get a body of his own again and he'd teach quarrel stuff that can make him more powerful when he did. All while villain reveal music plays in the background because it 's a villain evil. Thought it looked like Snape was the villain in this matter, it was actually Quirrell all along. And this reveal takes it a step further as by the guy on the back of his head requested, Quirrell reveals that the guy who worked. with on the back of he head was Vodermot. Who looked way more horrific then when he was in the Philosopher's Stone film to symbol hoe deep he delved in to the dark arts Something like how Ekuan did here.
Anyway, Voldemort order quarrel to get the stone from Harry, And Harry's special magic kicks in, Which burns Quirrell alive. Quirrell's and Voldemort's efforts to try and get the stone knocks Harry out cold just as Dumbledore shows up, And Voldemort flies off Quirrell since he's body's too damaged from that "Power of Lily's Love" from him stay on.
Harry wakes up in hospital and Dumbledore explains he, Ron and Hermione not in trouble at all for what the been doing to stop Quirrell at all. A way of them saying thank you now lets not talk about it. Dumbledore then reveals what the mirror was. It's called the Mirror of Erised. Which shows that it reflects what this person wants most. Dumbledore says he figured Harry saw it that night some time before he went down to stop Quirrell, But he, Ron and Hermione did alot of good, So he doesn't fucking care. He then tells Harry Ron and Hermione are fine. Dumbledore then says that by Nicolas Flamel and his wife's wishes, the Stone had been destroyed to stop the stone from falling into the wrong hands. Harry then points out this will let Nicolas Flamel and his wife die of old age, And Dumbledore says Nicolas Flamel and his wife thought they cheated death long enough and that it was time to finally let age catch up with them and die. He then breaks the news to Harry that he killed someone in a brutal way with everyone fine with that as it was in in self defiance. Harry's special magic left Quarrel with burn-like injures that he dies from soon after. So Quarrel's dead. Hermine and Ron visit who have been comforted to by Dumbledore that it was Quarrel trying to steal the stone for Voldemort. Not Snape
Ron {So the stone and Quarrel are both gone?)
Harry {Yes.)
Then right before the end of the year feast starts, Dumbledore says he'll be giving the last points before he says who wins the house cup. Hermione dispute being new to the magical world seeded enough to be an expert in a handful of it's things which earns Gryffindor some points. Ron's concern for others earns Gryffindor some points. Harry's determination to make sure everything is ok at Hogwarts because it's the right thing to do earns Gryffindor some points, And it takes Balls to stand up to your friends more than your enemies which earns Gryffindor some points which was won to them by Neville. Dumbledore then brings out some Gryffindor flags to symbolise That those point put Gryffindor in first place. Gryffindor has won this years house cup. This made Ron, Harry, Hermine and Neville all feel cheerful pride. They went from bearing the burden of bend used to reward bad behaviour, to honourable role of making sure it doesn't get rewarded.
And then the Season ends with that cheerful depart ending the Philosopher's Stone film had.
And that is my Pitch for Season 1 for this new Harry Potter show HBO's doing. So What do you think?
