Phew. Okay. I guess that's okay.
You can't say that wouldn't have made it a better movie cause it totally would have.

And here I thought Harry Potter was set in Australia. It's a shame they don't speak American. Would have made for a better movie if they did, plus they wouldn't even need magic because we have guns in the US.

Probably a lot more guns involved in the story.

Maybe from a looks standpoint. But her performances in some of those movies was pretty bad.

If they were american the feds would be involved at some point, and people would be getting shot by crazy evangelists or something like that.

Kids named Harry Potter, Weasley and Hermione wouldn't last a day in American schools.

Yes! omg. I always wished he was Chinese instead. It could take inspiration from chinese mythology, then the more modern stuff could be like a John Woo movie
Imagine how much better if the final battle at
was like this, with Ron and Hermione blowing death eaters apart. They could have even come full circle and gotten John Woo to direct the movie adaptation.

tbh I didn't even realize Harry Potter was set in England. For some reason, I just assumed it was set in America.

I think it being British made it feel more, magical? It added to the movie (for me at least)
British people are definitely magical.

I'm sure you yanks will do a version where he's American. Like you did with Sherlock Holmes in that CBS show Elementary.
And it will be rubbish.
Edit:
Reading that wikipedia page, I guess he just relocated to Manhattan, he wasn't actually American. So that's a bad example

His parents would have killed him the first time they saw his magic.

All those of you who constantly wonder why the US TV and film industry insist on remaking things that are already in the English language for the US market, this is why.

Meet the boy who lived. A young child whose parents were killed at a gun show when he was just a baby, growing was hard for Larry Potter. Living with his aunt and uncle, Paula and Vinny Dursano on Long Island, he was constantly bullied by his family, his classmates and his Bible class teacher. Not even the refreshing taste of an ice-cold Pepsi Max could lift young Larry's spirits...
But on his 11th birthday, everything changed. Larry receives a tweet on his Apple iPad Air from Hogvard University, inviting him to studymagic non-blasphemous superpowers and become a true wizard special person. Meeting new friends like Ron Weasolowitz and Harmony Granger, and new enemies like Biff McSnakeface, Larry is going to need all the help he can get to make through his first year at Hogvard.
Along the way, many perils await Larry, Ron and Harmony. Can they protect the Constitution's Stone from the devious Professor Barack? What terrors lie in the Chamber of the National Security Agency? Will they survive the class trip to Ferguson? Find out this summer in:
LARRY POTTER AND THE POWER OF THE HOLY SPIRIT

What a silly thing to complain about.
OP what accent do you have? Do you have trouble with other American accents too?
I don't think most people have trouble understanding basic accents. The only foreign film in English I struggled with was Trainspotting.

Actually I prefer to have English subtitles on British movies where the accent is a bit "thick", then again English isn't my native language in the first place.
That is great lol
Anyway, don't...I never had this problem, and even if I did, I wouldn't want the cast to be Americanized.
It's just an accent different from yours. He's speaking the same language as you, you'll eventually get it. If you think Harry Potter is tough to understand, I'd hate to see you watch Trainspotting.
On another note, the American version of Quidditch, Quodpot, is awesome because it's basically hot potato combined with basketball.

But then they would have made only four movies.
I like the HP movies. All of them.

I'd imagine most of the crew is as well, although the showrunners are obvious exceptions.
