The first Harry Potter TV series, which will be available on Max in 2026, will meet fans very soon.
The Harry Potter cinematic saga ended in 2011 with The Deathly Hallows Part 2. A moving conclusion which filled the coffers of the Warner group upon its release. After more than a decade of absence, the production company announced its desire to produce a TV series for its SVOD Max platform. And logically, it will not be a sequel, but a reboot. So don’t expect to see the adult faces of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson or Rupert Grint, because that shouldn’t happen. But we will finally know more in the coming days.
Information approaching for the HBO Max Harry Potter series
A Harry Potter series is therefore planned on Max and the release is currently set for 2026. At the beginning, middle or end of the year? Warner Bros. Discovery did not venture to provide a definitive date. Besides, filming should have already started, but it shouldn’t be too long. The plans are in any case colossal since the group aims to make it last for ten years. “My wife and I read the books to each of our three children. It’s very moving, for 10 years, people will see Harry Potter on HBO. It’s really something” said David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, during the announcement.
We also have no clues about the casting of the Harry Potter series, but what is certain is that JK Rowling will be fully involved. Even more than expected. The novelist will indeed have the opportunity to give her opinion when important decisions are made. A choice that divides after the author fell from grace following transphobic comments in particular. On the other hand, we now know that concrete information is coming. As reported by the account Max News, the Harry Potter series will give its news on May 15 during Warner Bros. UpFront. Discovery.
