Warner Bros. can’t seem to get enough of Harry Potter. Years after they finished the final adaptation of the books for the series, WB is still making the pre-event world Fantastic monstersThere’s a TV show in the making, and they put a lot of money into meeting this big cast on HBO Max. Therefore, it should come as no surprise to anyone that the studio has enjoyed the idea of an adaptation Harry Potter and the cursed Child on the screen. Written for the theater, the screenplay tells the untold story of Wizarding World, but also features major characters from the original novels—something Fantastic monsters Mostly does not have.
according to demonWarner was interested in translating the play into two films, but series creator J.K. Rowling and her cast were not. More than the technical questions it raised, Rowling (with theater producers Sonya Friedman and Colin Callender) was apparently concerned about damaging the play while it was still somewhat successful. Meanwhile, not everyone in WB was sloppy, as it would include an admission that Fantastic monsters The experiment was a dead end.
Whether Rowling and its partners are now more open to such a project – six years have passed, and the play has already opened in five markets – is anyone’s guess. She hasn’t yet gone through her full normal theatrical life cycle, which includes a tour company and cruise ship openings, but the further away she gets. Deathly HallowsRowling appears to be more than willing to exploit IP Potter in a number of ways.
cursed child Happening after nearly 20 years Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallowsand features adult versions of some of the original characters as supporting players. This may be huge for the fandom, but it’s also a problem at the moment, and it seems unlikely that Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson will return to the roles – something that presumably will be key to the allure of the Legacy sequel.
In any case, it does not appear that Warner Bros. Discovery down due to the rapid decline in fortunes Fantastic monsters franchise (the first installment earned more than $800 million at the box office, with subsequent installments dropping about $200 million each), and plans to move forward with more Wizarding World content. What form this content will take, and whether fans will see the original cast again, is pretty cool at this point.
Radcliffe said he might reconsider returning to the role “in the distant future,” but for now, he has he moved from the part.
“I would never say never,” Radcliffe said. New York times. “But the star Wars The guys had about 30 or 40 years before they came back. For me, it was only ten o’clock. It’s not something I’m really interested in right now.”
Selling Watson can be even more difficult. Rumor has it She has no interest in working with Rowling again.
Radcliffe and Watson, to varying degrees, have had a public feud with Rowling over the transphobic rhetoric she uses on Twitter. It’s certainly hard to argue that anyone is “cancelled” while still being given hundreds of millions of dollars to make movies and TV shows, but it’s possible that Rowling will retract her comments to get the cast back–something she refused to do when she faced him in the past–or take on a role Less important in franchising. The latter seems more unlikely than the former, considering that Rowling only took a short break from the Wizarding World before beginning to expand it beyond that initial little corner of Hogwarts.
