At the launch of the Max streaming service by Warner Bros. Discovery on the Warner Bros. lot in Los Angeles on Wednesday, Apr. 12, Max announced with excitement that it had ordered an original "Harry Potter" scripted television series.
The popular "Harry Potter" book series, written by executive producer and author J.K. Rowling, will be faithfully adapted for television. Once it is developed, the new Max Original series from Warner Bros. Television will be accessible on Max in (the U.S.) and throughout the world.
A decade-long series based on the plots from each of Rowling's Harry Potter books will be created with the same epic skill, passion, and care for which this global property is renowned.
In addition to the wonderful detail, beloved characters, and dramatic settings that Harry Potter fans have cherished for more than 25 years, the series will have a fresh cast to guide a new generation of fans, Warner Bros. Discovery press release reported.
While the original, classic, and renowned movies continue to be the foundation of the franchise and are accessible worldwide, each season will be true to the source books and introduce Harry Potter and his wonderful adventures to new audiences across the world.
"We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way," said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, of HBO & Max Content. "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."
"Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series," said J.K. Rowling.
