Release Date
The release date for the upcoming Harry Potter series has not been confirmed yet. If the project moves forward, we can expect it to release in 2024 or early 2025. With the recent success of TV spin-offs like WandaVision, Loki, Star Wars, and The Lord of the Rings, there is no reason for Warner Bros to pass on the idea of a Harry Potter TV series.
Plot
It is hard to predict the storyline that the series will follow, but one of the most talked-about theories is that it will be based on “Harry Porter and the Cursed Child.” The play, written by Jack Thorne and J.K Rowling, follows the adventures of Ron, Hermione, and Harry’s children, 19 years later. Another possible storyline is Marauders, which focuses on James Potter, Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, and Peter Pettigrew.
Cast
It is hard to say which actors will play the iconic roles, but there is a possibility that the previous actors might return to reprise their roles. Danielle Radcliffe, who played Harry Potter, shared his thoughts on reprising his iconic role, saying, “I think I was so able to go back and enjoy [the reunion] because it’s not a part of my day-to-day life anymore.” While Radcliffe might not be returning to play the lead, the fans are still hoping that the other actors will return to reprise their roles.
“I think I was so able to go back and enjoy [the reunion] because it’s not a part of my day-to-day life anymore,” Radcliffe added. “I’m getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of Potter OK and I’m really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life.”
Why Is There So Much Buzz?
With the Harry Potter game “Hogwarts Legacy” increasing the demand for more Hogwarts content, fans are excited about the upcoming series. Moreover, the success of Prime Video’s “The Lord of the Rings” spin-off has shown that there is a massive demand for these franchises on the small screen.
Conclusion
While it is hard to say who will play Harry Porter in HBO Max’s upcoming TV series, fans are eagerly waiting for the official announcement. With the potential storyline of “Harry Porter and the Cursed Child” and the possibility of the previous actors reprising their roles, fans can’t wait to see what the future holds for the wizarding world. As Warner Bros focuses on their new streaming service “Max,” fans are optimistic that they will get to see more of their favorite franchises on the small screen.
