Harry Potter TV Series coming to HBO?

It’s looking that way! According to trade papers, HBO Max and Warner Bros. are in talks to create a TV series based on the boy wizard.

Word is they’re near a deal that would cover the books, one season at a time. So no new storyline, just a retelling of the books in a much more drawn out fashion.

Bloomberg notes that Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav has said he wants to invest in a smaller number of bigger movies and TV shows. The company’s other heavyweight franchises include the DC superhero universe which is currently being effectively reset by James Gunn, and multiple Lord of the Rings movies it’s working on with New Line Cinema.

So stay tuned!
