However, that couldn\u2019t be further from the truth.

David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, confirmed this at the company\u2019s Q4 earnings calls on Friday, February 23. He revealed that heads at HBO and Warner Bros. recently met with J.K. Rowling to discuss the show.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-8\">\u201cWe spent some real time with J.K. and her team,\u201d David said, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/variety.com\/2024\/tv\/news\/harry-potter-tv-series-2026-premiere-date-max-1235920338\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>Variety<\/em><\/a>. \u201cBoth sides are just thrilled to be reigniting this franchise.

We can\u2019t wait to share a decade of new stories with fans around the world on Max.\u201d<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-9\">The upcoming project is described as a \u201cfaithful adaptation\u201d of each of J.K. Rowling\u2019s seven <i>Harry Potter<\/i> books, with plans for the show to span a decade. Whether that means they\u2019re planning 10 seasons, which seems ambitious, or a 10-year lifespan, which wouldn\u2019t make sense since the books only follow Harry for ages 11-17, remains unclear. Still, the powers that be seem pretty jazzed about it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-10\">\u201cEach season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally,\u201d HBO\u2019s announcement read.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-11\">\u201cWe are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,\u201d added HBO head<strong> Casey Bloys<\/strong>. \u201c<i>Harry Potter<\/i>\u00a0is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K.

It\u2019s weird because I\u2019m protective over him, I could relate to him so much, and then I was picked to bring him to life. That\u2019s hard to let go.

This, paired with the aforementioned outrage over Rowling\u2019s views on the trans community and star Ezra Miller running into <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/the-flash-movie-cast-4806675\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">their own trouble<\/a> made it nearly impossible for the cast to promote the film. Stars like <strong>Jude Law<\/strong> were instead limited to just attending red carpet fan events.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_4602492\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-4602492\" style=\"width: 620px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-4602492\" src=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/12\/fantastic-beasts-dumbledore-ec-embed.jpg?w=620\" alt=\"Fantastic Beasts\" width=\"620\" height=\"413\"\/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-4602492\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Fantastic Beasts (Photo: Everett Collection)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-18\">It was originally the plan for the <em>Fantastic Beast<\/em> movies to carry on for 5 films, culminating with the epic battle between Dumbledore and Grindelwald. However, given the poor performance of <em>The Secrets Of Dumbledore<\/em> at the box office, as of February 2024, no word on another film has come through, not even to the stars. \u201cI mean, at the moment, there\u2019s nothing that I\u2019m aware of,\u201d Eddie Redmayne told <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nme.com\/features\/film-interviews\/eddie-redmayne-cabaret-jessie-buckley-fantastic-beasts-3383935\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>NME<\/em><\/a> in an interview about the next movie. \u201cSo, as I\u2019m aware, it\u2019s not something that\u2019s on the cards.\u201d<\/p>\n<h2><em>Harry Potter &amp; The Cursed Child<\/em> \u2014 A Movie?<\/h2>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-19\">The\u00a0<em>Harry Potter\u00a0<\/em>universe also includes the 2016 British play <em>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/em>, which follows Harry\u2019s son, <strong>Albus Severus Potter<\/strong>, who is about to attend Hogwarts. The play premiered in London in July 2016 and then came to Broadway in New York in April 2018. It won six <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/pics\/tony-awards-2021-red-carpet-photos-2\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">Tony Awards<\/a>, including Best Play, in 2018. There are now productions across the globe, including in Australia.<\/p>\n<p id=\"content-paragraph-20\">So what about a movie based on the play? It seems to be the most logical continuation of the franchise on screen and if the studio wanted it, they\u2019d have a director ready, willing and able at the ready in <strong>Chris Columbus<\/strong>, the director of the first two Harry Potter films. \u201cI still fantasize about directing\u00a0<em>Harry Potter and the Cursed Child<\/em>\u00a0with the original cast,\u201d Chris admitted in our <a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2021\/11\/16\/harry-potter-sorcerers-stone-marauders-interview\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\">EXCLUSIVE interview<\/a>. \u201c I think it would be, from a nostalgic point of view and also from a fans point of view, a thrill to see our actors at their ages now playing these roles. There is just something touching about that. It is kind of like what\u00a0<strong>J.J.[Abrams]<\/strong>\u00a0did with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/2019\/12\/18\/star-wars-the-rise-of-skywalker-movie-review\/\" data-analytics-trigger=\"article-body-link\"><em>Star Wars<\/em><\/a>\u00a0and why that was so wonderful.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>[ad_2]<br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/hollywoodlife.com\/feature\/harry-potter-tv-show-4602417\/\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[ad_1] View gallery Image Credit: Everett Collection Yer a wizard, Harry \u2013 again.
