This was a huge film franchise. I’m surprised they’re making it a streaming only show rather than HBO

Could mean they’re going for a younger audience then what HBO typically airs on their channel

wasn’t it gonna be a streaming service show made for hbo max/max regardless ?

This and the fact that it’s a reboot

Why not do a sequel series? They could’ve brought back the OG cast and have their kids usher in a new era of Hogwarts. Maybe not commit to 10 years out the gate and see if fans are receptive to it after one season

I really hope so

always used to imagine how cool Harry Potter would be as a HBO show with GOT level quality

Daniel Radcliffe spent years trying to avoid getting typecast and make a career on his own

The amount of people that never read the books in the comments complaining are painful

Not liking it done is one thing but pretending their is nothing new to adapt is just false

my hype plummeted ngl

That’s fair. I just think it’s too soon to do a reboot, but maybe we will love it

Its been 20 years

Finna be 22 when this s*** drop fr

yeah that’s not that long considering how big the movies were

Almost 12 years since the last one, crazy

Why lol

This s*** makes me feel so old

Are they going to change the design language and update the theme park rides too?

Like the theatrical iteration of Harry Potter is engrained in pop culture with physical pieces that people all around the world have visited.

Wizarding World at Universal gonna be outdated as f*** lmao

Closed an era of the 00's blockbusters movies right before The Avengers dropped in 2012

I wonder if they'll hold it to Holiday '25. Investors may not like it.

they gonna have to make the scripts for each season all around the same time so that they can film somewhat continuously. kids age mad quick around the age of these characters

I don't get why they wouldn't , its entangled with the entire existence and value of the IP at this point...

but having the same music, same font, same hogwarts design

everything visually being exactly the same but just different actors in place is gonna feel weird.

also billing this as a decade long, back-to-back shooting multi-season endeavour just seems like its doomed to fail.

Wait this s*** is actually already planned for a Boyhood style literal decade?

Its not gonna be same music or logos. They haven't done any work on the series yet lol. Chill.

why would the new first official promo for the show have the same logo and music if the show won't?

it 1000% will. those visual and brand elements are too big to not use

@JKROWLING answer pls

The logo hasn't changed since the books I think that sticks

The music has to change tho
