The Harry Potter series, which has been very discreet since its announcement, is once again being talked about in a reassuring way, which will not fail to please fans.
If you are one of the millions of Harry Potter fans, you are surely used to immersing yourself in the eight films in the saga quietly in winter under a blanket with a hot drink. A pleasure that “Potterheads” have shared for years, given that the last feature film dates from 2011. In a while, Harry Potter fans could well have something else to sink their teeth into since that a series adapted from the work of JK Rowling is currently in production. A few months after its announcement, the program gives its news.
The Harry Potter series is making waves again
Since Warner Bros.’ Harry Potter series was announced in April, we haven’t really heard much about it. In an interview with Total Film Magazine, David Heyman, producer of the show, gives news of the program. The work should faithfully respect JK Rowling’s novels, or even go a little further than the original material. On the other hand, you will have to be patient before you can devour episodes of the Harry Potter series.
We’re only just starting. We haven’t even hired a screenwriter to start writing yet. It is a bit early. But I hope it will be something very special, giving us the opportunity to see the books and enjoy a series that explores them in more depth.
It’s no surprise that the series intends to be faithful to the Harry Potter books since JK Rowling is involved in the project as executive producer. On the other hand, it’s good to know that she plans to go even deeper and that the attention to detail will be there. The controversial author, who will receive a huge jackpot of 18 million euros for her role, will surely ensure that her work is respected.
For those expecting to see the cast of the films again in the TV show, don’t dream too much. The series is a reboot with a completely original cast of actors. Of course, we don’t yet know who will have the honor of playing Harry Potter and his two most loyal friends, Ron and Hermione. According to Casey Bloys, the boss of HBO, the budget of the first season will be equivalent to that of House of the Dragon, or around 200 million dollars. Remember that the series will be broadcast on Max, the platform born from the merger between HBO Max and Discovery+.
