The Harry Potter series already has a release date: All the details of the TV version

It was April 2023 when Warner Bros. Discovery has announced the creation of a “Harry Potter” television series. Few details about the production have since been revealed such as the cast, the plot, the direction it will follow in relation to the books, etc. Next, we recount what is known about the project.

What will the ‘Harry Potter’ TV series do?

The specific plot of the series has yet to be revealed, but when HBO announced the project, it assured that they would follow the main story of JK Rowling’s books, from Harry’s first year at Hogwarts to the final battle against Voldemort.

Casey Bloys, president and CEO of HBO & Max Content, said that the project will run for 10 consecutive years, which could indicate that there will be more than one season per book.

Who will be part of the cast of the ‘Harry Potter’ series?

Casting has not been announced yet, but it has been confirmed that the cast will be completely new. New new actors are expected to be announced to portray Harry, Ron, Hermione and other iconic characters.

As of now, no director or screenwriter has even been announced for the TV adaptation.

Will the cast of the ‘Harry Potter’ films appear in the series?

It is unlikely that the stars of the films, such as Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson or Rupert Grint, will return to the franchise. However, the possibility of cameos or special appearances at some point is not excluded.

The actor who brought Harry Potter to life in the films told ComicBook last July: “I understand that they’re trying to start over and I’m sure whoever does that will want to make their own mark and probably won’t want to have to figure out how to age Harry up to make a cameo in the series at some point.”

David Yates, director of the last four ‘Harry Potter’ films, also seemed to rule out the possibility of working on the new version of the story: “(I have) great affection and a wonderful group of people that I worked with, but I haven’t spoken since when we finished it. […] Never say never, I would say, but I’m excited to move on,” he told “Deadline” in September 2023.

Will JK Rowling be part of the ‘Harry Potter’ TV series?

The author will participate in the “Harry Potter” television series, as she has creative control over any exploitation of her literary works.

He is expected to be involved in decision-making for the series, as Brontë Film and TV, his production company, is co-producing the series with Warner Bros. Television.

So far, no teaser has been released for the “Harry Potter” TV series, although the official announcement of the project was released in April 2023 in the form of a 40-second video. This showed the iconic Hogwarts floating lights that form the letters of the title.
