I was just wondering when Warner Bros would reboot the Harry Potter franchise, and now I have my answer.

The Harry Potter movies were so influential. They changed so many things about the movie industry. They were the real beginning of the big movie franchise and inspired so many other wannabe franchises, some of which were more successful than others, but the king is back.

Most importantly we’ll likely get a minimum of 10 episodes 60 mins in length per season. Gone are the days of cramming a whole complicated book into a 120-hour movie. With this amount of space to tell a story, that’s been finished for years (Hello, Game of Thrones) there’s no reason for characters to be left out or plot lines to be dropped.

I am very excited about this. Also, I am going to stand by for announcements for other franchises to dip their toes into the TV reboot world on a streaming platform, because it’s all the rage now.

A Harry Potter live-action TV series is in early development at HBO Max. Sources telThe Hollywood Reporter that executives at the WarnerMedia-backed streamer have engaged in multiple conversations with potential writers exploring various ideas that would bring the beloved property to television. Sources say broad ideas have been discussed as part of the early-stage exploratory meetings.

While it’s news that executives at HBO Max and Warners are engaged in meetings to find a writer and pitch for a Harry Potter TV series, no writers or talent are currently attached as the conversations are still in the extremely early stages and no deals have been made. “There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform,” HBO Max and Warner Bros. reaffirmed in a statement to THR.
