Everything to know about HBO’s ‘Harry Potter’ TV series — including the cast and controversy
Years in the making, HBO’s planned Harry Potter series adaptation is closer than ever to coming to the small screen.
First revealed as a possibility in early 2021, the upcoming television show is expected to last for several years, with each season adapting one of the six Harry Potter novels written by J.K. Rowling.
“The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters, and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have loved for over twenty-five years,” Warner Bros. Discovery said in a press release in 2023. “Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic, and beloved films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally.”
In a statement released at the time, Rowling seemed pleased with the concept.
