In 2023, HBoMax got the rights to make the books into a television series. Zaslove disclosed,” We can’t wait to share a decade of new stories with fans on Max.
When news came out that the books were being made into a series, Potterheads were excited. Some hoped that the series would be closer to what the books were and that the things left out of the movies would make it into the series. WithMax stating being “faithful to the iconic book series” that leads Potterheads to believe it will put in that was let out.
Zaslove went on to reveal,” We’re aiming for a debut in 2026. A premiere day two years away isn’t surprising because the show needs to go through the pre-production process, build sets, and many other things before it can premiere.”
There is no word if the Fantastic Beasts series will be part of this. The cast from the movies will not be reprising their roles. There is a search on for the next Harry Potter. But if the book Cursed Child is made into a movie, Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint have agreed to reprise their roles as Harry Potter, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley.
Two years is not too long to wait for a series that wants to be true to the series of books by J.K. Rowling. This Potterhead is excited for the series. The Reality Times will update you as soon as we get more info.
Are you excited to return to the wizarding world of Harry Potter?
