Potential Book-by-Book Harry Potter TV Show Ideas

With each book one season and each chapter one episode...

Sorcerer's Stone
*Mrs. Figg being introduced 

*Harry's uses of magic before the snake habitat


Chamber of Secrets
*The de-gnoming scene 

*Ron's room

*Ginny's embarrassment around Harry


Prisoner of Azkaban
*Ginny's continued shyness around Harry- again, the start of the slow-burn relationship in the books  

*Percy's pompousness (and Fred and George imitating him)

*The Big-Head Boy scene


Goblet of Fire
*The Floo-Powder and the boarded-up fireplace and the Dursley's destroyed living room

*The Ton-Tongue Toffees

*Meeting Bill and Charlie 

*Dueling tables  


Order of the Phoenix
*"Give her hell from us, Peeves"

*"It unscrews the other way"

*"Have a biscuit, Potter"

*Hogwarts v. Umbridge scenes, including the fireworks and the swamp

*I think the scene of Harry destroying Dumbledore's office should be kept in- this shows a darker side of Harry's personality that the movies didn't show. 


Half-Blood Prince
*Instead of Death Eaters destroying the bridge, I'd include the conversation between the two Prime Ministers- in my mind, this is a more effective way of showing how even the Muggles are beginning to notice that something's up- not to mention the fact that Death Eaters can't fly without broomsticks. 

*"There's no need to call me 'sir', professor"- book fans know what I'm talking about. This was the more snarky side of Harry's personality the movies didn't add in. 

*I'd remove the scene of the Burrow being set on fire- it's nothing more than a cheap action scene and does nothing for the plot. 

*I'd also remove the scene of Ginny tying Harry's shoelaces- I mean, WTF was that??

Potential Biographies/Autobiographies

This could be used to fill in missing information or plot holes or just as additional material for an already successful film/television franchise Riley Andersen ( Inside Out ) Troy Bolton ( High School Musical series) Jackie Burkhardt (That 70s Show) Martha Cox ( High School Musical series and High School Musical: the Musical: The Series ) Chad Danforth ( High School Musical series) James Edwards/Agent J ( Men in Black series) Eric Forman ( That 70s Show ) Laurie Forman ( That 70s Show ) Julie Gaffney ( Mighty Ducks franchise) Regina George ( Mean Girls ) Ste Hay ( Hollyoaks ) Cady Heron ( Mean Girls ) Steven Hyde ( That 70s Show ) Beth Johannsen ( The Martian ) Michael Kelso ( That 70s Show ) Kendra Mason from Degrassi - This would answer a long-standing question: why was she only at Degrassi Community School for one season?

Potential Non-Arrowverse Crossover Idea

Borrowing from the 5th Wave movie, a really cool potential idea would be an hourlong special ( potentially from 9p Eastern to 10p Eastern one night? Maybe?) detailing the alien ship from that film passing over the various states in the U.S. This would be a BEHEMOTH ship, as the width would easily be the length from the Canada-Washington border to the very southern tip of California.  9p-9:20p- My idea would have it first move over Los Angeles ( 9-1-1 ) and Seattle ( Grey's Anatomy and Station 19 ) simultaneously.  9:20p-9:40p- Next, Texas would see it, which would bring 9-1-1: Lone Star into the mix.  And the final twenty minutes of the hour would see the Chicago trio (Fire, Med and P.D.) see the ship pass over Illinois.  I just had this idea last night and it might be super complicated but also super cool to pull off, as it would need the cooperation of seven different writers' rooms and also potentially three different TV networks (see below): 9p-9:20p: 9-1-1 ...

Thoughts on the Mysterious Benedict Society- Episodes 1 and 2

Phil Hay and Matt Manfredi deserve a ton of credit for writing Sticky's first scene in the pilot episode. In this brief clip, he gets a prize-money check but his parents take it away immediately. This, of course, is a reference to his backstory from the first book where his parents- after his increasing quiz show success- become more focused on the prizes he brings home than on his well-being. Episode 2 features a brief but very well-written moment courtesy of the same duo that beautifully captures Martina Crowe's personality, where she glares around the classroom and causes her fellow students to lower their raised hands. This is very much in keeping with Martina's "don't cross me" book personality.
