HBO is all set to make Harry Potter television series a reality
HBO Max recently announced that it will soon start developing a television series based on J.K. Rowling’s novel, Harry Potter. HBO Max has collaborated with Warner Bros. to bring back the epic saga of The Chosen One to the small screen. The chairman and CEO of HBO Max, Casey Bloys, confirmed the news by stating,
“We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way. 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.”

Warner Bros. collaboration with HBO Max created a buzz on the internet
Soon after HBO Max announced its collaboration with Warner Bros. on its Twitter handle, it created a buzz among the fans. Harry Potter is a popular series with a massive fan following. Surprisingly, some Potterheads don’t seem too excited about Harry Potter‘s entry into television. As the series claims that it will introduce new characters to the series, fans believe that it will kill the authenticity of the movie. A fan commented,
“The movies were perfect. Please don’t.”
Another user wrote,
“Faithful”? Because the beloved, wildly successful, and fan-adored movies weren’t? Talk about revisionist history. Who asked for this? Oh right, shareholders and Zazlav asked for this.”
Another user added, “Pumped to not watch this!”
While this Potter Head commented, “I won’t be watching – the films were great, and the cast cannot be beaten.”
Fans certainly seem to be infuriated by the announcement. They already accepted the trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Rupert Grint, and Emma Watson, but they are skeptical about the upcoming series.
