The first television series of ‘Harry Potter’ was an open secret, but Warner did not want to wait any longer to release a teaser that officially confirms a reboot that will adapt the books that already served as the basis for the unforgettable film saga starring Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Ruper Grint. However, there will be no trace of them here, as there will be a completely new cast.
A very ambitious bet
The one that is on board is the controversy JK Rowling, who will act as executive producer and will be in charge of ensuring the integrity of the books. Of course, it is not expected that he will participate as a screenwriter, although it is still unknown who will be in charge of writing it, since Warner is still looking for the right people for it.
From Warner Bros. Discovery they promise that “each season will be faithful to the original books and will bring Harry Potter and his incredible adventures to new audiences around the world“and they also assure that it will require an enormous time commitment, since will span a decadeto. For now, they are already clear that seven years will not be enough to cover the seven books.
The series will feature a big budget, at the height of Warner blockbusters such as ‘Game of Thrones’ or ‘The House of the Dragon’, in order to be able to live up to what a movement as ambitious as the one at hand requires. If it goes well, they may have a smash hit on their hands that pushes the Max platform to heights it might otherwise never reach, but if it goes wrong, Warner is going to bleed money everywhere.
Now we will have to wait for the series to take shape, but I am quite clear that everything is going to change the moment the three young actors who are going to inherit the characters of Harry Potter, Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley, are announced. And we’ll see how people react…
