The Casual Vacancy, on HBO

We don't have television. I mean, we have a television but we don't get television. Which means we pretty much only watch what is on Netflix and HBO.

So I'm a little surprised I completely missed that J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy has been adapted into a miniseries for HBO. The trailer looks pretty great. Of course, it is HBO, which I have never really been disappointed by.

Plus, DUMBLEDORE is in it so... I'm sold.

Paste magazine did a short interview with director Jonny Campbell, which you can read here.

I'm feeling drawn to reread the book before watching the miniseries, but at the same time, it might be refreshing to watch without constantly thinking about what was different in the book. Apparently, I never actually wrote a post about it, except this short thing.

Isn't it a strange feeling to be intrigued by your former self? I have no idea why it weighed so heavily on me and now I'm so curious!

Will you watch The Casual Vacancy?
