    retreading the same ground this soon

    Nobody asked, but the first movie came out in 2001, which was 25 years ago. The time between Return of the Jedi and The Phantom Menace was 16 years. Indiana Jones 4 was 19 years after The Last Crusade. Gladiator II was 24 years after Gladiator, and people were asking why bother after such a long time. “Oh, but the most recent one came out way later than 2001!” Yep. 2011. 15 years ago. It’s older than Gangnam Style.

    I’m not that interested in this new Potter show, but let’s not pretend that the movies just came out a couple years ago. Time is just speeding by. You didn’t have back pain when you first saw quidditch on the big screen, but you do now.

      I’m not ready for this truth.

      The difference is that those were sequels, whereas this is a remake. Would you want The Lord of the Rings remade? It’s been about the same amount of time. Maybe that’s a bad example though because they’re trying to milk that franchise too and fans are pretty meh on it.
