When the decision was first made to turn the highly successful series of Harry Potter novels into a series of films, American producers were reportedly keen to move the action to America to open it up to a wider audience (while completely pissing off every British fan of the source material in the process). Producer David Heyman said it had actually been suggested that there would be cheerleaders at Quidditch matches - or whatever the US equivalent would have been called - among countless other American affectations, which would cause it to resemble little of what really is a quintessentially British creation. Yes, it didn't happen and most fans seem pleased with what we did get, but can you imagine the possibilities of a US Harry Potter? Hagrid would of course be a Southern American redneck, and ginger Ron would probably be changed into the "token ethnic", as producers love to say. It would've been a glorious, beautiful car wreck unlike anything else one could possibly imagine. What a shame it never happened. Which absurd, awful movie ideas would you love to see actually made?
