Revelio
It’s no secret that Harry Potter has taken a big hit in the popularity sector ever since JK Rowling revealed her questionable views on the trans community – and, in the UK at least, spent years bashing political leader Jeremy Corbyn, drawing the ire of some fans – but for a whole generation of kids, Harry Potter was the book series. We’ve seen video games, spin-offs, movies, broadway shows, and even a theme park based on the Wizarding World, and things don’t look to be slowing down.
We’ve already written about a TV show allegedly being in early development with HBO (although HBO themselves denied this claim, stating “There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.“)but it looks like we might have more to look forward to, as WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar has talked about possibly expanding the franchise, stating that there’s a lot of potential for further sequels and spin-offs.
Speaking to the Morgan Stanley Technology, Media, and Telecommunications Conference, Kilar said “There’s this little thing called Harry Potter, which is one of the most beloved franchises, and we’re incredibly thankful to be able to partner with J.K. Rowling and so I would argue there’s lot [sic] of fun and potential there as well.”
Unfortunately, Kilar didn’t go into any specific detail about any of the upcoming projects. Outside of the broad discussions about a TV show, we don’t know anything about where the series is going next that we didn’t already know, such as the upcoming Hogwarts: Legacy or the third film in the Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them series.
While fans are moving on from the franchise, and others are calling on the series to be cancelled alongside JK Rowling, it looks like there’s still some people eager to explore the magical potential of Harry Potter. Are you one of them? Let us know in the comments, on Twitter, or on Facebook.
