Disney’s divisive approach of remaking all their most cherished animated films as live-action flicks sees the studio working in some seriously nostalgic territory, and with this new reimagining of The Lion King, they could be making their boldest double-dip of our childhood memories to date. So when the first trailer to Jon Favreau’s next film dropped, it was only natural that it would hit many a longtime Disney fan right in the feels.
Though it’s been more than seven years now since the Harry Potter series ended its cinematic run, these fantastical films have lost little of their pop culture clout, remaining a subject of obsession and devotion for Potterheads across the world.
