A Harry Potter television series is in the works at HBO. Per the report, each season of the series will be based on one book in the series, indicating that the series is looking for a seven-season run.

Each season of the hypothetical show would focus on a different one of Rowling's original books—meaning that, at the very least, there would be seven seasons of content if the project moves forward. This show would be for Warner Bros.' new streaming service, which will be the product of HBO Max and Discovery+ merging together in the future.

This streaming series would also mean that new actors would be taking over the roles of Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter), Emma Watson (Hermione Granger), Rupert Grint (Ron Weasley), and the countless other stars whose portrayals in the original movies made them famous, starting with The Sorcerer's Stone back in 2001.

While there will be a deal with JK Rowling if the project is given the green light, the author would not run the show day to day or serve as its primary creator. Instead, she would simply be an advisor to help ensure that the show remains loyal to the source material.

I honestly hate reboots with an all new cast. We don’t need this, the movies are more than enough.

She wrote the book. She cannot be detached from it, but she probably won't be involved in the way the movies have involved her.

I love Harry Potter, it's my childhood, but i think it's too soon for another recreation of the books  The last movie was released only 12 years ago, the legacy is huge, let it do its thing and you can bring it back in 20-30 years
