In statements collected by ScreenRant, Chris Columbusalso known for Home Alone or for having written the script for classics like Gremlins or The Goonies, wanted to talk about the great opportunities (and challenges) faced by the filmmakers of the new adaptation that will begin filming in 2025.
“I wish them luck. The TV series gives them the opportunity to shoot the entire book, and that's exciting. They'll be able to do things that we couldn't, like introduce Peeves, who we tried to get into the movie.”
“They have a great challenge ahead of them”
However, the filmmaker believes that Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod, showrunner and director respectively, “They have a great challenge ahead of them”: “These movies have a certain stylistic quality that you will have to accept or, quite the opposite, accept. Will they completely change the look of Hogwarts? Will they use the John Williams theme? I don't know how they will do it. But I can't wait to see it.” .
