There is a lot of buzzing about the restart of HBO of Harry Potter, And Chris Columbus, who directed the first two films in the fantasy franchise, has some positive words to share.
Appearing in The Podcast Rest Entertainment, He infested the photos of the series, which are becoming viral on the Internet, showing Harry (Dominic McLaughlin) and Hagrid (Nick Frost) filming what seems to be a scene from going to Diagon Alley to buy school supplies.
“I looked online and there are Nick Frost photographs as Hagrid with the new Harry Potter,” said the director, hinting at a mixed answer.
He also explained his thoughts: “And it carries exactly the same costume we design for Hagrid. Part of me was: ‘What is the point?’ I thought everything [on the HBO show] The costumes and everything was going to be different. It is more of the same. “
But he clarified that he did not see the supposed reuse of his work as a “problem”, rather “is very flattering for me, because I am like: that is exactly the disguise to have designed.”
“So part of this is really exciting. I am excited to see what they are going to do with that. Part of this is a kind of déjà vu again,” added the director.
To leave no doubt, Chris said he was not “jealous” about the restart. “I am so further. I did that. It is time to move on. I’ve always had problems with the idea of the franchise.”
“When we did Gremlins and Goonies, that’s why I didn’t make the second Gremlins movie. My attitude then I have done it and it’s time to move forward. The same with Potter,” he said.
“I feel that I have done it … I am very proud of those films, the first three with which I was involved, and I am going on,” Chris concluded.
