IM LOSING MY MIND HERE
TO THE FANFICTION WRITERS, READERS, THE HP FANDOM, AND THE FANART MAKERS
THIS MIGHT JUST BE OUR DREAM COME TRUE
*deep breaths*
*enters formal mode*
Guys, you know what? This also opens the door to a possibility I have been pondering over for quite some time.
A Young!Tom Riddle casting choice.
Fanart depicts him to look like this:
So, you know who I think is fit for this role?
Louis Partridge.
Ok, so I know this isn't the best gif ever, but still - do you see it? The similarities? Because I do and hE IS PERFECT FOR THE ROLE GODDAMN IT-
Now, one thing - the most important thing, rather - I am NOT trying to sexualize Louis Partridge in any way whatsoever. I understand that he is still just a minor. Please do not take offense. I am merely saying that I think there are quite a few similarities between Louis and Tom. Plain and simple. If this post troubles you, or makes you feel uncomfortable, I APOLOGIZE.
bUT anyways-
Louis Partridge as Tom Riddle is everything. Fight me. (actually, please don't fight me, I don't have the will or energy or strength for that-)

There. I said it.
Do with this post what you will, because I only drafted it to share the wonderful news about a new series and my own thoughts with you.
P.S. I hope they cast a more Hermione-ish Hermione this time, black or not, because Emma Watson is a goddess and Hermione wasn't ever supposed to be that good-looking, just average-looking, and they glossed over all of book Hermione's flaws in the movies.
P.P.S. Same with Ginny and Ron and Harry. Hope they give them more book-accurate lines. And cast members, in some cases.
P.P.P.S I know it says the development is still in very early stages and that Warner Bros are denying that there's anything to be made, but a fan can dream.
None of the fanart or gifs featured in this post belong to me.
