27 june 2024 в 05:37
The popularity of Harry Potter has never waned, especially for fans who fully immerse themselves in the fantastical elements of the original book series and film franchise.
In the era of remakes, the support of 58-year-old British writer J.K. Rowling carries great weight for those working on this series. They hope that collaborating with the original author will bring comfort to fans who have loved this story through the books and movies.
Despite the controversies surrounding the author, Rowling remains involved as an executive producer.
HBO CEO Casey Bloys confirms that «she will be involved… Remember, we’re doing Potter. You know, the show is new, and we’re excited about it. But we’ve been doing Potter for 20 years. So this is not a new decision. We’re very comfortable with it».
But others do not share this opinion. People are still trying to come to terms with the world they fell in love with, but are trying to move on to other versions that are not directly linked to Rowling. In July 2022, Quidditch, the real game played by wizards in «Harry Potter», - severed ties with Rowling and renamed itself Quadball.
Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that the series will feature a new cast while maintaining the essence of Rowling’s magical world. This approach is aimed at attracting both long-time fans and a new generation of viewers worldwide. Original cast members, including lead actor Daniel Radcliffe, have expressed support for the series, appreciating the decision for a new interpretation.
«I definitely don’t seek it out in any form. But, obviously, I wish them all the luck in the world, and I’m very glad that this torch is being passed. But, I don’t think I need to physically pass it», - said Daniel Radcliffe, who was once one of the most popular faces in the world, playing Harry Potter on the big screen.
Matthew Lewis, known for his role as Neville Longbottom, hinted at interest in new roles in the series, expressing readiness to explore characters beyond his iconic image. Jason Isaacs, who played Lucius Malfoy, even joked about playing Dobby the house-elf to avoid long makeup sessions.
Details of the official release date are currently unknown, but the HBO team aims for a release in 2026. The development of the series began in 2021
