═══════════ ⚡Official Details ═══════════
A new scripted Harry Potter television series is coming! The series will be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter books, marking a momentous new chapter for the Wizarding World. Here’s everything we know so far.
In April 2023, it was revealed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max Streaming Press Event that the Harry Potter books are to be adapted into a new TV series.
The news comes in tandem with the announcement that US streaming giant HBO Max will soon become Max - and the new Harry Potter television series will be a Max Original when it launches in the US. .
The new adaptation will introduce you to a new cast for a new generation of fandom, and will be full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters and dramatic locations we have loved for over 25 years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and his incredible adventures to new audiences around the world.
The Harry Potter books were first adapted for the screen back in 2001, paving the path for what would become a beloved 8-film series that we still celebrate today. They will always be at the heart of the magic, but we are excited to hear we will have the opportunity to relive these stories in exciting new ways.
Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content described Harry Potter as a ‘cultural phenomenon’.
“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” he said. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
J. K. Rowling, who will serve as an Executive Producer said of the news: “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series.”

Think Max better drop some coin to get a known writer with skins on the wall then a bunch of unknowns with marginal portfolios.

One of the things I am curious about is whether they plan on changing the current iconic architecture of Hogwarts, with it being so iconic and ingrained in our minds. Everything from the score to the actors from the original movies are iconic, but there's just something about Hogwarts! Don't get me wrong, I am super excited for the project but I am just curious how they will handle this. Will they keep iconic parts of the previous movies or give us an entirely new representation of the wizarding world. How do you think they will go about this?

If you don’t want a long form 1 hour long episode reboot then you’re a movie fan only. Giving each story multiple hours to tell faithfully is such a great idea and would be so bad ass. The movies are honestly pretty bad. Entertaining but they got so much wrong and left so much out. So much so that they’re not even considered canon but instead their own thing. I think some prequel series would be amazing as well and then mess around with some new stories. Just don’t allow woke politics.

These are some talented writers. Just hope there aren't too many creatives trying to pitch in as too many writers usually create messes, despite how talented they are. Too many creatives in one space lead to a higher chance of creative differences. But if this series fleshed out scenes like Hagrid's acquisition of Aragog, or Tom Riddle's childhood, or the exploration of certain events prior to the story can lend to a greater incentive for this series to exist. Show us scenes we haven't seen before that carry weight within the story. Show us the conception of the Deathly Hallows or the creation of the Dementors or the founding of Hogwarts.

I would very much hope these writers remain faithful to the source material but with a few added tweaks to make the show feel new but also feel familiar & by tweaks I don't mean adjusted for "modern audiences" , that has become such an awful trend taking exisiting IP'S destroying the core fundementals then gaslighting fanbases when they have valid complaints. Given how the media & others treated the author she has no obligation to adhere to their demands given their delusional vile behaviour. I want to see a reboot because while I enjoyed the movies at the time, theres far to much left out that should have made it in there was supposed to be more in the OOTP but WB's cut funding. I want to see tom riddle leaving Hogwarts then returning with his appearance visibly changed due to the horcruxes but yates runied it by stuffing in Romance & comedy where it wasnt needed & they muted Harrys outburst in DD office I wanted to see his fury at DD but all we got was a muted version. Also snape was never at Godrics Hollow the nigt the attack happened, that was shoe horned in to make snape sympathisable I want to see all that was left out including ron being his comedic smart self instead of his lines being given to Hermione, he's the wizard street smart, she's acedemic smart you can thank steve kloves for runing Rons character in the movies. I want to see Harry's fianl battle in the great hall rather than outside randomnly flying around the castle, that way people know riddle is gone they have proof I want other characters that were never shown to be given a role, introduce Narcissa much more early, show peeves Regulus black, Andromeda black etc. I also want this show to acknowledge a certain someone admitting to sending dementors after Harry, hell I'd take Harry getting some sort of revenge over her in the show rather than doing nothing. In terms of other shows, the founders would be great to see in action & unfold see what made Slytheryin leave, see his development of the COS & even watch how he created his baslisk. Or a small part in the show showcasing the classification of the unforgiveable curses 1717. I would also like to see Riddles rise to power & how truly terrifying the death eaters were along with the 2nd WW I don't ant this dumbed down. A Maruaders show would be good to or what about something featuring the weasley twins. Something related to HL would be good if only to see Isadora's perspective & see an altenative path. Thanks for the video Retro & thansk for reading if you did ( I tried to condense what I had to say 😅) have a great day :)

When I heard they want to put more focus on diversity and "modernizing" it. I lost interest. I'll always be thankful for what JKR has already done for the wizarding world. But im also annoyed at the fact that modern Hollywood always needs to make things political and pander to people who dont watch or read this IP. Hollywood also has a thing for raceswaping redheads. And changing the ethnicity of characters for diversity points. They did this with the recent Percy Jackson series on D+. In the source material they describe characters a certain way and how they should be depicted then change it cause there's not enough representation or diversity in the original material. Then the author comes in and defends these actions despite the fact that they probably wouldn't have made these changes when the books first released as it was made that way for a reason. Idk I'm all for a series that stays true to the books and original material. But lately I've wanted it less and less. I'm glad JKR is involved, but I really dont like this idea and am not on board with it much.

Er.... we didn't love the Harry Potter series because of the battle scenes. We loved it because of all the joy and whimsy involved in Children discovering magic for the first time. If they write from the perspective of drama and conflict then it will be a shadow of what a Harry Potter series should be. It would be more fantastic beasts than Harry Potter, and we all saw how Fantastic Beasts ended up. Cancelled.

@RobertA-hq3vz 4 ай бұрын

@@piotrnowak8725 yes, but it wasn't all dueling and conflict. The drama was mixed in with comedy and light hearted moments. But if you watch Fantastic Beasts you'll see its more darkness than light and when the movie ends people have a residual tension that makes them feel bad. HP movies are feel good movies, which is why they're popular. I've seen some fan made movies and they're all the same, characters pointing their wands at each other in some non stop fight scene. Its very draining on the viewer. If the new series is mostly darkness you're not going to like it. Apparently its easier to write scenes where people "shoot" at each other with wands, than it is to write light hearted scenes that make people laugh and feel good.

@@RobertA-hq3vz I admit I didn't like fanmade movies focused heavily on action. HP is first of all a huge story made of many smaller stories but there is place in the franchise for more action than in the movies while staying story-driven. I never considered it a feel-good story. It is a hero's journey with ups and downs that eventually lead to happy ending but there's much depth and lore that comes with the story. The world is unique and it takes a lot of detailed description in the books or a lot of screentime. to do it well.

@@piotrnowak8725 Just think of all the times you laughed in HP. Harry fighting Ron over the spare potions manual, the awkwardly asking girls out for the ball, All the Ford Anglia scenes, Ron's comedic relief through out, and many many more instances. You might remember the action scenes the most afterwards but it was everything else in between that left you feeling good about it after the movie ended. After watching Fantastic Beasts I just felt more tense than good, and the movies got more violent as they progressed. Muggles being murdered in their homes, babies drowning, etc.

@@RobertA-hq3vz Harry Potter was a story that grew up with the viewers. Fantastic beasts tried to continue this with adult main character. I liked the approach and the movies being more dark as I was not a kid anymore when they came out. I don't see it as a contradiction to the HP wizarding world, it's just a change of perspective. The humour was imho much better in the books than movies.

Harry Potter is one of the few franchises that, if I’m being honest, I’m going to consume whatever media they give me.

Fantastic Beasts could have been so good if she could actually write for movies.

Didn't say they was, I said it is a mix of genres who havent done much fantasy and too many writers is never a good thing. There will be a lot of clashing over agreements and stuff.

It will be a 10 year timeline about everyone. Sure, it will be about Harry Potter, but it will packed full of iinformaion about everything. Voldemor will be much different now, we get Peeves finally, and some other background info that was missed from the films and books....but it has been said that they will be a modern version of a rewrite.

I can imagine that the best writers don't want to spend that much time writing shows based on books, but if these guys write the show it's over. This reboot will probably be bad anyway. The days of faithful and fun adaptations are over. This one will tell us how to live our lives up to Hollywood standards at least 10 times per episode, focus on CGI/battles and miss the complete point of the books. We already saw the movies take a weird turn when they completely ruined the character of Ron and Hermoine in favor of portraying Hermoine as a one dimensional boss babe. Any reboot filmed in this day and age will be a complete joke.

This is my thought if the writers did not read the book or have the love for the Harry Potter world then he or she cannot be chosen The writer must have the love and understanding of the characters to even attack a new angle of the story. Just because a person have all these accomplishments does not mean they will do the show justice For example one of the biggest pet peeve i have with the movie is regarding the black family and how they wrongly portrayed Draco .. Sirius black the god father is the cousin to Draco Nymphadora who is apart of the "Order of the Phoenix" is the cousin to Draco The house or secret headquarters is the property of the Black family which mean the property of Draco. Truly not Secret at all from the Black family because Draco mother ,Nymphadora mother , and Bellatrix which all sisters grew up in that house. The movie never explained that at all lol. Darco and harry had a heart to heart and how he truly did not want harm to come to him but he had to do what was asked of him. They never explained how in the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 Draco knew it was harry the whole time .. Draco never wanted to kill harry. If anything he wanted Harry to leave the wizard world because of danger he knew was coming This new angle will still need to address who the black family is because of how deeply they are rooted in the Wizard world.. This new angle will need to have the black family .. No offense but they are deeply rooted into the wizard world wayy before Harry ..

Most of the action happens in characters' minds, so for the movie to be close to the book there would have to be a lot of dialogs added to make sure the audience understands why the stuff happens - in those books it's much more important to get why stuff happens, not what happens. He pretty much made the entire movie about the games - in books the games were not really that important. So he pretty much decided to f*ck the whole core of the books and make an action movie.
