Here's the twist. We show it. We show all of it. Full penetration. Solving mysteries, then back to the common room for more full penetration. Mysteries, penetration. Mysteries, penetration.

And then it just kind of ends…

It's not porn, it's HBO.

They're Close enough

They'll handle it like the books, hopefully

Awkward kissing, and some talking about romance as appropriate for 14-17 year olds

Ok so your idea is to have “steamy” scenes with children… and for the show to have gay characters even though the book doesn’t have any. I don’t see the point in a TV show coming along to make a story more book accurate to then change things to make it more “modern” - at that point they may as well just write their own story.

Agreed, not everything need lgbt etc, especially an adaption where the original didn't have any. No haye against the people or including it shows etc, but not everything needs it.

Well, I feel like they ment background charectors, rather then fully fleshed out charectors

So just props to say the show has the representation? The story is based on a book franchise, and sadly, there isn’t any characters who are gay, lesbian, trans etc in it - that’s how it is. I think forcing the representation to virtue signal is worse than the fact the book is simply full of straight people.

Dumbledore doesn’t really count since he was essentially gay off the page. JK Rowling said he was gay but nothing in the source material of the 7 books told us that. So yes Dumbledore is gay, but he wasn’t an established gay character in the literature.

Dude are you clamoring for steamy underage scenes?

And if they do feature other students, do you think we might get some LGBT content?

Rowling is producing.

It's HBO and 2024 I expect and demand graphic hardcore sex scenes and casual nudity spread throughout the show

Dumbledore x everyone else

They’re not going to deviate from Harry’s perspective. It’s still an adaptation of the books and you’re going to see what happens in the books. This isn’t “life at Hogwarts while harry is there”… it’s still Harry Potter.

Also, you’re asking for steamy content with children. That’s a bit weird. Save it for creepy fanfic.
