It’s official: We return to Hogwarts. The merger between Warnermedia and Discovery was already anticipated as a time of change for HBO, and its official presentation not only revealed that it will now be called MAX; but also that they will have new series. And among them, a new adaptation of Harry Potter.
Early rumors about the series didn’t sit well with all fans of the franchise, who were most receptive to a series that expanded the universe created by JK Rowlingbut not with a new adaptation of what has already been seen in cinemas. And it happens to revisit the seven novels that the author has written on screen.
From The Philosopher’s Stone A The Deathly Hallows, Rowling has caused a revolution in children, young people and adults around the world thanks to her favorite magician; something that was immediately replicated with the effect of his films. Not only was the box office very profitable, but it released an entire community of fans who continue to consume the saga today as it did in its early days.
This line of reasoning must have been the one they’ve followed since MAX, making sure they can again replicate the fanaticism that was achieved from 2001 to 2011. And in fact, turned the first official announcement of the series into one of the most talked about points of the event offered by the company:
It may be brief, since we can barely see a few candles with the mythical school of magic in the background, but that already says a lot: this adaptation will not only be faithful to the novels, but also to what is created in the films. Just listen to the background melody —one of the most recognizable in the history of cinema—, taken directly from the first film and bearing the recognizable title of Hedwig’s Themeof John Williams.
Even so, they won’t keep anyone in their original roles, which raises doubts among the most loyal. replicate the success of Daniel RadcliffeRuppert Grint there Emma Watson it is practically impossible for some; especially because it is the trio of friends who marked a whole generation of little ones the potters.
In this very brief advance, no distribution decision is reported, although they have maintained the intention of the project: it will tell the novels in much more detail, Surely salvage items that readers missed in their time.
In this way, each season will adapt each of the author’s original novels, ending with the presumed number of seven – if they do not decide to make more deliveries, as the cinematic saga has already done with the two films on the latest novel. The release date remains a mystery, especially since the project is still in its infancy. This, yes, It is clear that this will not be in the short term.
