In 2026, or even 2027, the first season of the Harry Potter series should start on the Max streaming platform. This is an extremely ambitious project on the part of Warner Bros, which hopes to create the event. The first elements we have on this production rather encourage us to be optimistic. Explanations.
A long-term series
First of all, the entertainment giant is committing to a very long project. We first discussed the idea of doing a season per Harry Potter novel. But the streaming platform seems to want to play the extensions. The Geek Journal recently explained that the series could span ten years, enough to allow an entire generation to grow up with these characters.
A story that will speak to newcomers and fans alike
Warner Bros wants to stick to JK Rowling’s books. The introduction should therefore rekindle the most nostalgic flame and we will see a young Harry Potter who discovers his powers as a wizard and goes to Hogwarts, then becomes aware of his power and a dark reality: he is the only one who can come to part of Voldemort. At his side, a gallery of legendary characters, like Hermione, Ron and many others.
The advantage of a series adaptation is that the screenwriters will be able to take the time to develop secondary plots and dig deeper into the different protagonists. So many elements that they sometimes had to elude to fit within the limited duration of feature films.
Talented filmmakers at the helm
It was Francesca Gardiner who shone on the series His Dark Materials who is responsible for this adaptation. Controversial writer JK Rowling, however, wants to keep an eye on her baby and will be working on this project.
Note also that Mark Mylod will direct several episodes. The latter is anything but a newcomer and has already been at work on HBO series, such as Game of Thrones et The Last of Us.
The casting is not yet known, but we already know that the original trio made up of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint will not be back and that is completely logical.
As we will have understood, there remain many unknowns about this project, but it already ticks certain boxes which encourage us to believe in it. For your part, and given the information we have, are you optimistic for the series? Tell us in the comments.
