  • WB and Max, formerly HBO Max, have confirmed a Harry Potter reboot series is happening. Here are 20 details we know so far that will get you caught up on everything you need to know.
    It all starts with Max, formerly HBO Max, which will be the home for a new television series - a retelling of the original 7 Harry Potter books.
    Early rumors said one book per season, but now we know that won’t be the case. Max announced their plans for this to be a decade long series.
    My guess would be the first few books will match the 1 book per 1 season rate. But once we hit Goblet of Fire and Order of the Phoenix, I would expect things to stretch out a bit more.
    All of this will ultimately be decided by the writers and showrunners once they’re in place.

    ═══════════ ⚡Official Details ═══════════
    A new scripted Harry Potter television series is coming! The series will be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s original Harry Potter books, marking a momentous new chapter for the Wizarding World. Here’s everything we know so far.
    In April 2023, it was revealed at Warner Bros. Discovery’s Max Streaming Press Event that the Harry Potter books are to be adapted into a new TV series.
    The news comes in tandem with the announcement that US streaming giant HBO Max will soon become Max - and the new Harry Potter television series will be a Max Original when it launches in the US. .
    The new adaptation will introduce you to a new cast for a new generation of fandom, and will be full of the fantastic detail, much-loved characters and dramatic locations we have loved for over 25 years. Each season will be authentic to the original books and bring Harry Potter and his incredible adventures to new audiences around the world.
    The Harry Potter books were first adapted for the screen back in 2001, paving the path for what would become a beloved 8-film series that we still celebrate today. They will always be at the heart of the magic, but we are excited to hear we will have the opportunity to relive these stories in exciting new ways.
    Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO and HBO Max Content described Harry Potter as a ‘cultural phenomenon’.
    “We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way,” he said. “Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years.”
    J. K. Rowling, who will serve as an Executive Producer said of the news: “Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series.”

    If they stick to "faithful" adaptation and not go the route of "reimagined for a modern audience", it should be great. I read the books as a teen, and while I enjoyed the movies, I'd love to see more depth from the books. Take the time necessary to build the story.

    In theory I like the idea: fleshing things out with a longer adaptation, hours per novel, you can really go in-depth and keep it serious and grounded. But in practice I wonder if it will deliver. You've already got hugely successful movies that everyone is bound to compare it to, if you hire kids will you keep them on for every passing season, etc.

    You can d a lot with the series! I mean, imagine not just hearing about what James did at school, but actually having episodes dedicated to showing it. Learning more about James, Sirius, Lupid, Peter, Lilly and Snape and more as they show it in between episodes. Maybe switch from their time to Harry's time. We can see how the Marauders are fighting in the war, we can see the stuff about the secret keeper, Peter getting blown up and the betrayal during season 3 as Harry learns about it. You can do a whole lot with it all to show new stuff to keep this from just being a reboot, but to make something new out of it. That and the tonloads of details they couldn't fit in the movies. You can have 12 to 20 episodes a season that way easily without it getting boring and getting filler episoders like so many shows do nowadays.
    Heck, you could even show more of Voldemorts time at Hogwarts, watch him grow from that creep little boy into the creepy wizard, get some backstory in there before season 6 where Harry and Dumbledore travel through Voldemort's past.
    I just hope they take their time to write the story out good so it all flows together. This could potentially be a series that will be remembered for a long time with fondness. They just need to stick to the lore and keep politics out of there to push their agenda. Keep it faithfull to the books as it was written back then, and not the revisions J.K Rowling loves to make... THAT is my only concern.

    • @juliomiranda7013
      @juliomiranda7013 4 місяці тому +9

      I think, unfortunately, that, like mostly everything made nowadays, it will be filled with annoying politics and changes to appeal to "modern audiences." Even Rowlin herself has shown us plenty of times how she likes to play those games. I really hope I'm wrong, but I'm very leery of this series being made during these times. I'm not looking forward to black Hermione, or a made-up episode about Dumbledore's romance with Grindewald like they did with the third episode of The Last of Us show.

    • @Venisor21
      @Venisor21 4 місяці тому +1

      I'm guessing they are going to stick to the books and limit backstories to what is written in the books. There is more than enough content there without the need for extra backstory. The first two books are shorter, so they might add some extra stuff in the first two seasons that aren't in the books.

    I, too, have been a fan since prior to the movies and to be perfectly honest, I ALWAYS thought Harry Potter should've been a series on a premium cable network like HBO because their pockets are deep enough. You'd also be afforded the time to tell the stories more fully, covering side plots that, while not integral to the main plot (ex. S.P.E.W., time spent at Grimauld Place, The Marauders, etc.), they still have importance, show character development, or just help to make other things make more sense.
    So I'm actually really excited about it as this seems like exactly what they're promising to do. 🤞🏾💜

I just re-watched goblet of fire and realized that all of Hermione’s characterizations were sort of more or less correct with the novels, but they never really gave a reason for it except for she’s upset with Ron which wasn’t it and she was upset with Ron because he fought her on the SPEW and it accidentally made them look more immature than they actually were in the source material in my opinion

      My thought exactly! Wouldn’t make sense to add nonsense that isn’t there if they’re trying to be as accurate as possible.
      What I see happening is Order of the Phoenix may be like 16 episodes while Prisoner of Azkaban may be 9. So one season may take longer to film and such.

    • @dillonsomerville4729
      @dillonsomerville4729 3 місяці тому

      Yeah, it wouldn't make sense to end a season halfway through a book since none of them have a mid-way climax. Also, each book has a very defined start and end, so they couldn't span a season across two books.
      The only book I could see them possibly splitting is Deathly Hallows due to it having a very linier story and unlike the other books, which mainly take place at Hogwarts, Deathly Hallows spends most of its time in other locations with each having a pretty distinct story.
      But I'm sure it will just be 7 seasons.

      In a way, where the franchise is currently reminds me of the Star Wars sequels. They finally stopped following the Skywalker Saga and you started getting other stories. Although, they still are sticking too close to the Skywalker era itself. I'd love to see spin-offs of the kind you speak of: unspeakables, aurors, etc. I know people want a Marauders spin-off, but I confess that really dislike James, young Sirius, young Remus (somewhat), and Pettigrew, so I'm not rooting for that one.

    I've been saying this for almost ten years...that it was high time for a good TV series with high quality production values (Game of Thrones, Dr. Who, etc.), devoting a season per book. The promise of TEN seasons is even better, providing more attention to the many details contained in the books. I enjoyed the movies, but there can be no question that the books are much more rewarding.

    We do need a reboot. It's been 25 years since the first book was published and we didn't get a faitful adaptation yet. Harry Potter movies are not even close in faithfulness to Lord of the Rings so while being quite successful and iconic, a reboot is still very much neeeded. Also, I think it is important to expand the wizarding world but to do so the main saga characters and the lore must be well-known to the general public to make spin-off stories successful and I mean more than 10 main characters or something.

    What I'm most interested in seeing is what they might keep from the film adaptation. Of anything they could borrow from the films, the look of the castle could be pretty devisive. People could say that keeping it the same would make it too similar, but at the same time the look and layout has become almost synonymous with the books.
    It it were up to me, I'd keep a similar exterior, but the interior they can change up to fit the books. I feel like of all locations, Hogwarts castle is the one they did the most justice.

    When I first heard about the new adaptation, I was pretty worried it would be garbage. Then, now that I know JKR is directly and hands-on involved, and David Heyman may be coming on-board, but that David Yates is out, it gives me more hope. Also, I think a long-form TV project is much more conducive to a close and in-depth adaptation, which is the only reason I'd watch something like this. While Radcliffe, Watson, and Grint are iconic to those roles, I don't want them back in any capacity. They've disrespected Rowling enough.

    If I had to choose a format for the series, I would choose 4 episodes per season. 1 episode each for fall, winter, spring, summer. But I'm skeptical, it will be really boring if they choose many episode format. They could lean on the mystery format that the books definitely have, but it would lose some of the soul that a visual narrative can have. What I love about the movies is that they each have their own personal story and themes that the writers have worked to make fit with the narrative, at least for the first four movies. I have a feeling that a TV series will be all narrative and no story. Like I don't want to see the trio wondering if Snape is after the Philosopher's Stone and then cut to the next Episode

      I think the role model for fantasy adaptation is Game of Thrones and 10 episodes per season (book). There is something magical in anticipating the next episode and the season overall. It's important to have it. A faithful book adaptation cannot be as fast-paced as the movies but it's ok if they stick to the story, show the castle more and some new perspective.

      and release the fourth season in 2029. This could make the production team be able to take their time in developing
      the much bigger scale story that begin with The Goblet of Fire, which has bigger production, more new characters to introduce, etc.

    the fact that JKR will be directly involved, a studio like HBO is taking the sword instead of some other streaming service, and they plan to take 10 years minimum on it gives me hope and comfort. I mean 10 years gives a ton of wiggle room and time to really dive deep into the universe. Id also hope JK would be obliged to expand the universe just a little during the series. it would be cool get like little add ons to flesh out the story just a tad straight from JK. I mean so many things happen off the pages that a tv show could easily bring it all to light. Like seeing Voldemort coming back from a death eater's perspective or Voldemort himself. Possibilities are endless if they play it smart. The universe is so big and its a bummer at times that the main series is so focused on Harry, shine the light on some other aspects JK tried to do in the books. The Tv show will have that opportunity to do that now. I mean Harry is great protagonist and all. But what's a day with Arthur at the ministry or Voldemort creating his Horcruxes. I also think HP is one of those series that will make a super good tv show in my opinion. It gives me that Game of Thrones vibe with all the potential characters that can be followed things that are happening all at the same time behind the scenes.

Not sure if she will use UA-cam info as well as anything else, but there has been a lot of stuff coming out about the world and characters. We're going to see a hell of a lot more, and not just from the books either. if this is going to take 10 years to do, then it is going to be bogged down with info dumping, plot filler, side stories and other things that has been happening all the time. If that is the case, it wouldn't be from Harry's prospective this time. The whole thing is just something, and since this is an iconic legend that got people reading, a huge phenomenon and a huge legacy, whoever is going to take this on, has huge boots from the word go.
    A lot of pressure here. I know there has been some issues lately, concerning the franchise rights, ownership and streaming rights, as loads of major companies are fighting for it, despite Max picking it up.
    Anyway. I am so looking forward to seeing Peeves this time around, I just hope they make him true to his character, as he is funny as hell in the books. However.. if they not following the bookline, I wonder which direction they are going with here. Yeah, Rowling said she had lots of regrets with the series when it was done and this could be her chance to start over.....I guess. So no more 80s or 90s version timeline, it be in modern times somehow.
