also hogwarts has no money for proper food anymore
The egg looks plastic for some reason
tbf original was wayyy oversaturated
In areas where it didn’t make sense it wasn’t. The high saturation in the shown scene helps emphasize the magical feeling the characters are feeling, which the viewer is supposed to emphathize with.
I don’t know about “wayyy”. Anyone with functioning eyes can compare the two and determine the original looks much better…
Look at how inflation and affected the amount of food too XD
The new one isn’t a movie, is it?
True, also the hall is lit with floating candles according to the source material. I imagine most of the castle should be relatively dark. Unless they want to say the candles are similar to bright LED lights, the whole thing should realistically be darker when inside. (Albeit the roof was supposed to be some magical protection varying with weather?)
should realistically be darker
Bro, this is literal fiction in a magic world. Maybe wizarding candles are miniature suns for all you know.
The cinematography and lighting has gone to shit over years and this (unwanted) iteration just seems to prove that point.
I mean i get it but it looks worse for us the people watching it and i HIGHLY doubt this is any artsy show thats making a point with its dark lighting.
Well what do people expect, it’s a cash grab series milking a dead cow, of course the focus is on getting every last penny/watch/stream out of gullible sods rather than actual quality
The top one is a dinner, while the bottom image is of a breakfast. The colors just didn’t have had time to wake and drink their coffee yet!
Every iteration star trek’s lighting budget shrunk.
Maybe that’s why alien ships in star trek often have such dim lighting- that’s how ships normally are and human ships are an exception slowly reverting to the mean
Klingons sets their spaceships to night mode because they are Autistic.
It’s a canonical plot point in Star Trek that many species prefer it darker and warmer than humans do.
Many species such as:
- Cardassians
Lens flares count as lighting.
I am pretty sure it just counts as annoying, distracting, and fucking stupid.
They’re paywalled, you need a WB Chroma+ subscription to see the rest.

Wtf is the breakfast shown from the 2026 version? It looks like an American school cafeteria meal. Where are the goblets? Why are there trays? Kids don’t need to carry their food. It magically appears and disappears on the tables from the house elves.
House elves are racist/woke/expensive/striking/wrong-religion now 😜
The house elves were always fucked up
Wait till you see the bankers
Surely they can’t be tha…oh.
Oh, my.
Make sure to include a giant star of David in the film adaptation too, that will surely beat the antisemitism allegations /s
I don’t see how. Wasn’t it the evil people who had house elves anyway, and the good people freed and befriended them?
I’m not here to defend Rowling, but depicting an injustice in fiction isn’t the same thing as committing an injustice.
She’s a terrible person in other ways, but I don’t think writing about house elves is what makes her terrible. Unless there’s more in the books that I don’t know about…
…the house elves are in Hogwarts too. They are not staff, they are school property. Harry owns a house elf after book 5. The books openly ridicule Hermione for being the only sane person and trying to end house elf slavery because apparently the house elves like being enslaved and she’s just overreacting. Need I go on?
Ah, I didn’t know about all that. I’ve only seen the movies
Goblets weren’t in the budget. Just eggs and white bread.
Does the food even cost them anything besides…wait, do they even have mana pools?
I kind of hate that I have this knowledge, but in the setting of Harry potter, one of the only things you can’t simply create with magic is food. The food at Hogwarts is prepared by house elves who essentially teleport it to make it appear on the tables.
Hadn’t you heard? Everything is fucking stupid now.
I’d say it’s accurate (considering JK Rowling) that it’s reduced to only a few colours.
TV panels are light years better at displaying lower light colors and differentiating between blacks than they were in 2001.
As things like OLED technology and HDR offerings have advanced, directors, set designers, consumer designers, cinematographers, and editors across all of post production have been able to work with more of the palette as a result.
Older works needed to be over lit and wash out nearly everything on screen just so that every pixel darker than light tan didn’t meld into one blob of color. That is no longer necessary and, as a result, the worlds shown to us in our living rooms look more real and lived in than ever.
Unless you have a TV from the 2010s in which case fuck you.
Yes, but really, no, in this situation… Look at the other comment https://pawb.social/comment/24159500
This is likely the case, done like the matrix where there are differing scenes, exposures, coloring and/or filters between worlds so the viewers can differentiate.
This is proven bc I can watch old HP on my old 2011 FHD TV and it doesn’t look entirely different than my newer UHD HDR screen. It’s that way on purpose. Otherwise older films would all be blown out with coloring or contrast too, and they’re not. Only retouching when going from VHS to DVD and/or DVD to Blu Ray, etc. Format changes do usually get a remastering.
They’re remaking Harry Potter? Why?
To support transphobia.
Let’s appreciate that return to castle wolfenstein was so good tho
