What are the next steps of the Harry Potter series?
According to the current information, the Harry Potter series uses the logo, the music and the well-known Hogwarts likeness of the film series. That’s a surprising number of components of the films. The series now faces the problem of reimagining a fantasy world that is already firmly entrenched in fans’ minds. Are those responsible reinventing the world or relying on other proven elements?
The biggest step should be the new cast. The ensemble of figures is enormous. It ranges from the main characters Harry, Ron and Hermione to their classmates to the school staff.
In announcing the series, Warner executives emphasized the importance they place on a detailed, deep, and complete adaptation of the books. The films were forced to cut various book elements. Keeping the story exciting for viewers who can narrate the dialogue from the books and films may prove to be the biggest challenge of the Harry Potter reboot.
When is the Harry Potter series coming?
The Harry Potter series does not yet have a start date. We expect HBO and Warner to take as much development time as they did with Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon. That would mean a wait of about two years and one Start in 2025.
