Tis no secret that HBO is making a Harry Potter TV series, but today we can finally put new faces to three very old, very dear, names. Behold the new Harry, Ron, and Hermione! Here is everything currently known:
"The series will be a faithful adaptation of the beloved “Harry Potter” book series by author and executive producer J.K. Rowling. The series will feature a new cast to lead a new generation of fandom, full of the fantastic detail and much-loved characters “Harry Potter” fans have loved for over twenty-five years. Each season will bring “Harry Potter” and these incredible adventures to new audiences around the world, while the original, classic and cherished films will remain at the core of the franchise and available to watch globally. The series is written and executive produced by Francesca Gardiner. Mark Mylod will executive produce and direct multiple episodes of the series for HBO in association with Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television. The series is executive produced by J.K. Rowling, Neil Blair, and Ruth Kenley-Letts of Brontë Film and TV, and David Heyman of Heyday Films."
Also, "this could be on HBO Max as early as 2026, according to BBC News." Beyond that and the general expectation born of curiosity and vicarious excitement, this news carries limited emotion resonance with me since I never watched the Harry Potter movie. But I LOVE the books and this proud Ravenclaw will not mince words: HBO – and the new trio – have some very large broomsticks to fly. But more power to them in trying to recast, so to speak, the spell that is Harry Potter and follow in the hallowed footsteps of the first three to let the world join them on the Hogwarts Express.
