Summarising the scene with Harry Potter fans in the raging present day is not that difficult. First, there’s this huge anti-support lobbying against J. K. Rowling due to her stance on transgender rights. Views which has enamored even the reception of the much-awaited Hogwarts Legacy video game in a negative light. Now we have news that a new Harry Potter series is in the works, begging us to think – What will it be about?
And this is amidst news that a new Cursed Child film is apparently in the works. Now add this, and compile it with the already-produced Fantastic Beasts spin-off series. Truth be told, we have way too much Harry Potter content to dive into. Although not that I protest!
Will Emma Watson, Rupert Grint, and Daniel Radcliffe return?
The legacy of Hogwarts, and I refer only partially to the video game but thematically to the actual legacy of the fictional world of wizardry instead, is kind of huge.
If we have this news any right, this new series will retell the story of the original book. Meaning, Harry Potter will return. And sorry, I don’t think it is feasibly possible for Rupert, Emma, and Daniel to devolve into their childhood forms at this moment. We will be having new actors, if this is how the series goes.
Making a point about why a Harry Potter series can be well worth it, despite the story already being told in FILMS
- It has spanned decades into what is now pop culture’s one of most revered fanbases. And it appears to me that one of the pivotal reasons as to why the fanbase still has content to dive back into, despite both the seven books and eight films having concluded the original story, is mainly because of just how largely Rowling had envisioned her imaginary world to be.
- And I make an argument in favor of Rowling’s artistic prowess here as well when I say that the fanbase still is existing because of how elaborately she built her world.
And precisely because of this do I find the guts to claim that, and I am sure many other writers like me would feel an inkling to say the same – that a well-done Harry Potter Series could actually be a boon to us all. Or to the fans, at least. Wrongwishers shy away!
A possible new move that HBO and Warners might be brewing with this Harry Potter series
- A few years ago, WarnerMedia and its subsidiary HBO Max were considering the idea of creating a TV series based on the popular Harry Potter franchise.
- Now, Warner Bros Discovery is reportedly interested in incorporating the series into its upcoming streaming strategy, which is set to be presented to investors and the public on April 12th. This new streaming platform will merge HBO Max and Discovery+ into a single service, featuring an array of fresh streaming content.
Why Series has much more scope in adapting the Harry Potter novels than the films
A larger theme of the Series adaptation industry is just how much it can cover. With films, things are condensed and blended into a guu of very limited scenes that has to convey as much as principally possible within a span of 180 minutes or so.
What this does is that it rushes the filmmakers. And anyone who has dived into any series well enough would know, the way a series can develop virtually everything quite subtly and yet glowingly is amazing. To adhere to this one special benefit that goes by when producing a series, is worth a Harry Potter investment.
How much will J.K. Rowling be involved in the making of the Harry Potter series?
- As of now, it isn’t clear just how much J.K. Rowling will involve herself in the production, but she for sure will – this much can be confirmed.
And this call to involve herself derives specifically from the need for the TV Series to remain utterly faithful to the main material. And kudos to you Rowling, faithful adaptation is indeed quite essential.
Concluding
Although too much rigidity in such an adaptation can also backfire, as the story has already been told – a retelling of the same story deserves some playful changes. Just to ensure things don’t get boring.
Interestingly my original point comes back here, that a story like Harry Potter can be told and retold times and times again and it will just keep you going. So there’s this thing as well, which might justify a certain possible rigidity this new TV Series might ensue.
