That Long-Rumoured 'Harry Potter' TV Series Might Be About to Make Your Streaming Dreams Come True

It's been over a decade since Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows — Part 2 reached cinema screens, wrapping up the big-screen story about a certain Boy Who Lived. But, to the delight of wannabe wizards and witches everywhere, the franchise hasn't faded away. The Fantastic Beasts films have kept it alive in cinemas, and Harry Potter and the Cursed Child has done the same on the stage. Also, Harry Potter events have been a common occurrence, and dedicated stores sling merchandise related to the saga.

For a few years, another addition to the wizarding realm has been rumoured: a TV series. There was a reunion special for the movies back in 2022, to celebrate ten years since they concluded, but word has persisted that all things HP would eventually accio up a spot on streaming.

Those reports are swirling again, with Bloomberg breaking the news that a deal is apparently close. Also, it revealed that said show would remake the story that everyone has already seen on the big screen, with each season focusing on a different book.

The details are still scarce, however, and nothing has been officially confirmed. So, who it'll star, who'll be guiding it behind the scenes and when it'll release are all obviously yet to be announced.

That said, the idea is that HBO Max, the channel's streaming service, and Warner Bros would make a show that can go further in-depth into each of the novel's storylines — because movies can only cover so much. That means a return to Hogwarts, and obviously new faces playing Harry, Hermione, Ron and company.

This is really a case of when, not if. The Lord of the Rings, Star Wars and the Marvel Cinematic Universe have all made the leap to streaming, after all. And no huge pop culture phenomenon ever truly disappears these days, so the Harry Potter realm is bound to reappear — if not with this project, then something else down the line.

There's clearly no trailer for this Harry Potter series as yet, but you can check out the trailer for the very first film below:
