| 0:35.8 | Hey everyone. Welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. |
| 0:41.6 | Today's topic is pretty simple, the upcoming Harry Potter TV reboot and every controversy surrounding it. |
| 0:48.5 | Between unexpected casting choices, creative reinterpretations, and the ongoing debate over J.K. Rawlings' involvement, |
