Warner Bros is reportedly in the final stages of negotiations for a deal to bring the beloved Harry Potter books by renowned author J.K. Rowling to both television and their streaming platform HBO Max. If all goes well, each season of the series will be based on one of the seven books, which means a seven-season-long epic journey through the most magical world ever created.

The series is expected to be the foundation of a brand new streaming strategy that Warner has been working on, which is why they are going all in on the Harry Potter universe. The report also shows that both David Zaslav, CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, and HBO chief Casey Bloys are using all their Muggle magic to convince Rowling to be involved in the production of the new series.

After the massive success of Hogwarts Legacy, Harry Potter is now more popular than ever since the release of the film Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 in 2011. It is therefore no surprise that Warner wants to do more with Rowling’s universe, and to be honest, the school years always felt a bit rushed in the otherwise entertaining films. With a TV series, there is much more room for everything that happens outside of the main story in each book.

Witches and wizards have plenty of reasons to be excited. It seems that we are facing a fantastic journey through Harry Potter’s wizarding world in the not-too-distant future.
