According to the latest report from Bloomberg, Warner recently reached a creative agreement with HBO to restart "Harry Potter" and shoot it into a TV series to be broadcast on HBO!
It is reported that the drama version of "Harry Potter" is currently tentatively scheduled for seven seasons, and each season will directly adapt a book from the original, and the original author of this drama version, JK Rowling, will be deeply involved.
But it may be due to the precedent of the "Fantastic Beasts" series, the new version of "Harry Potter" Rowling will not be responsible for the script, but will participate in the production as a creative consultant, in fact, this is good, "Fantastic Beasts" let Rowling coordinate the script The result was criticized, or let Rowling be responsible for controlling the world view and character personality is more reasonable.
Moreover, the new "Harry Potter" drama version will not use any previous film version actors, and all characters will be recast, which means that the test for the screenwriter and director is great.
Because just like the movie version, it is necessary to start filming when the actor was a child, until the seventh "Deathly Hallows", the young actor grew up very quickly, and it was much taller after a few years, so the script of the previous seasons must be completed in one go, and there can be too many breaks in the middle, otherwise it is easy to face the embarrassing situation of the actor being too large or changing the actor.
And because there are many actors in it, they can't be replaced halfway without an emergency, so Warner also needs to have an expectation for the future of the three leading actors, and it is also a troublesome thing if the half-way is disabled. Of course, the latter one is a joke, in short, the new "Harry Potter" episode is expected to reveal more information next week, so wait and see!
