I started reading the books as a child in 2005 and almost immediately I started imaging Harry Potter as a TV show because even then I realized you just can't fit these stories in movies.

But back then making a big budget fantasy show was absolutely impossible.

Later when I started watching Game of Thrones I was almost jealous of GOT book fans lol Since then I was thinking of Harry Potter TV show on HBO but it felt like they will never dare to make it or they will make it 40 years from now when I probably wouldn't care anymore.

So the fact that this is actually happening and that I am still alive and young enough to watch it and care about it almost feels surreal to me. Finally something I hoped for almost 20 years ago will become a reality.
