Harry Potter: Torneo de las Casas de Hogwarts

Im sorry, but this show fails on so many levels. The contestants are horrible picks, the game itself... nothing interesting, the content just as uninteresting. Are we going to start having gameshows about marvel movies next? If this is what entertainment has come to... the world is doomed.

I don't know if this was fake and scripted as some have suggested, but it was terribly cheesy. It was like what a comedy sketch show (maybe Key and Peele) would do as a mick take of a American scripted reality TV shows, with all the over the top clapping and cheering after every sentence and apparently normal people 'contestants' who love being in front of the camera and acting out their well rehearsed lines, and an advert break every 10 minutes.

However, as a Harry Potter fan there were some interesting questions in there and it was enjoyable just to be connected to the universe again for 45 minutes. A properly done Harry Potter quiz show would be hugely popular, wonderful for fans to watch, and would probably go on running for years and decades. So in short, this was disappointing and achieved very little of what it could have, however, as a Harry Potter fan you are always going to enjoy being connected to the universe no matter how bad it is.

First of all I had no idea this existed until I saw an ad for it after the first episode had already aired which should've been a hint on it's own. I love everything to do with the Wizarding World Of Harry Potter and I have read the books and watched the films countless times so the idea of a gameshow was very exciting to me. But I couldn't have been more wrong in thinking that!

Everything about this show is cringeworthy, there is nothing unique about how it plays out it's just a hodgepodge of famous gameshows mashed together. This would be fine is it was done well but its executed so poorly and it seems like Hellen Mirren doesnt even want to be there. She plays the role of the game's host and she cuts the contestants answers short more times than I could count including when they were "introducing themselves and why they love Harry Potter". The "contestants" on this show are terrible actors and they are clearly ready from a script and it's not well hidden at all. There are a few segments with "celebrity fans" of the series as well and you can tell they were pre-recorded but they try to edit them into the show as if the celebrities are talking to the contestants live and you can tell this isn't the case. As for the questions...some of them are so ridiculous like asking which couch Hermione's parents owned and having the contestants pick it out from 3 couches.

All in all if you are a true fan of the series I feel like you will be extremely disappointed in this show and you shouldn't watch it. I don't know what they were going for but it really is awful and the production feels so rushed.

Slow, little content and easy questions. The contestants seem like actors not real people. It's convenient that everyone gets a turn to talk about themselves when randomly picked. I think the only thing real are the masked "team members" in the stands.

You can just see how the 'contestants' have been given a script to learn, and everything they say was wrote down, okayed by the studio, reharsed, and then let into production.

The host asks the contestants to say a few words about themselves, and seems to cut them short - this isnt solely because she is not interested, it is because she knows exactly what each of them is going to say, and when their sentences will be finished.

Not to mention the first contestants were supposed to be chosen randomly, yet they stand up before their names are announced, are in their own clothes, and are not wearing masks, unlike everyone else sitting next to them.

Utter disappointment. WB is so afraid of a backlash from the twitter hate community they had this whole thing so hard scripted it makes you want to shut the hole thing off.
