Quote:
A Harry Potter live-action TV series is in early development at HBO Max. Sources tell The Hollywood Reporter that executives at the WarnerMedia-backed streamer have engaged in multiple conversations with potential writers exploring various ideas that would bring the beloved property to television. Sources say broad ideas have been discussed as part of the early-stage exploratory meetings.

While it's news that executives at HBO Max and Warners are engaged in meetings to find a writer and pitch for a Harry Potter TV series, no writers or talent are currently attached as the conversations are still in the extremely early stages and no deals have been made. "There are no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform," HBO Max and Warner Bros. reaffirmed in a statement to THR.


TWIN PEAKS is "something of a miracle."
"...like nothing else on television."
"a phenomenon."
"A tangled tale of sex, violence, power, junk food..."
"Like Nothing On Earth"

The REEEEEEEEEEing will be immense and the cancellation attempts aplenty. IF this ever goes forward, that is.
WB is probably busy measuring that against possible profits if this goes ahead.

Early Monday, multiple media reports stated that WarnerMedia executives were looking for writers for a potential series set inside the world of the hit box office franchise (The Hollywood Reporter was first to report). When contacted by TheWrap to confirm the news, we got this statement from HBO Max and Warner Bros.: “There are no ‘Harry Potter’ series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.”

Lulz at TheWrap. That's already in the original report by THR, including my quote in the OP.

Talks have been had but nothing is in development right now. That's how things happen.. first they get talked about!

"The Harry Potter franchise has complicated rights issues. Rowling controls the franchise and has a say in everything involving the property. NBCUniversal in 2016 inked a rich seven-year rights deal with Warner Bros. Domestic TV Distribution that included U.S. broadcast, cable and streaming rights to the Wizarding World franchise. That deal, which ends in April 2025"

Talking about too soon announcements...


PC: Yes. Console: No.

That's perfectly fine. LotR TV series was announced in 2017, releasing this year (maybe), 4 years later.

If a Harry Potter series happens it's going to be just as big and will take just as long that the distribution deal will come to an end and won't be an obstacle by the time it's ready.
