The following podcast contains audio extracted from videos on the Harry Potter Theory YouTube channel.

Hey everyone, welcome to another installment of Harry Potter Theory. With the new Harry Potter TV show on the still fairly distant horizon,

more and more details about the show are slowly being unraveled. However, one recent bit of news

that came to light a few days ago has left fans a little distraught. As far as writers,

directors and producers are concerned, there are a lot of great names being thrown

into the mix.

These names include the likes of individuals such as Francesca Gardner, who will be serving

as producer and writer, as well as Mark Myelard who will be serving as director and producer.

However, one thing that is drawing a certain degree of controversy is that of Andy Greenwald. Andy Greenwald is a television

critic, writer and podcaster, best known for his work in entertainment journalism and TV show

creation. Greenwald is also known for co-hosting the popular podcast, The Watch, on the ringer network

alongside Chris Ryan, where they discuss TV, movies and pop culture trends.

And it was on a recent episode of his podcast that Greenwald revealed a harrowing detail,

at least from the fan's perspective, about his history with Harry Potter.

We see Greenwald, who was recently revealed as a writer for the upcoming show, let it spill

that he has never read the books.

And the biggest problem here is that the TV show is supposed to be a faithful adaptation

of these books.

The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved Harry Potter book series by author

and executive producer J.K. Rowling.

The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom,

full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters Harry Potter fans have loved for over 25 years.
