HBO’s new version of Harry Potter will contain an all-new cast, and it’ll be a Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television. Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling will serve as executive producer.
Despite the relative recency and widespread success of eight live-action Harry Potter movies, based on the seven books in J.K. Rowling’s best-selling series — and also despite Rowling’s controversial and highly publicized comments against trans people — Warner Bros. has no intention of putting the franchise to rest. On Wednesday, the TV series announcement was confirmed by Warner Bros., after having been rumored and reported last week.
This new version of Harry Potter will contain an all-new cast, so step aside, Daniel Radcliffe (not that anyone needed to tell him twice).
