New WB CEO Reportedly Meeting With JK Rowling About More Harry Potter

New WB CEO Reportedly Meeting With JK Rowling About More Harry Potter

The possibility of Rowling’s direct involvement in a Harry Potter project at HBO Max is not unexpected, but will no doubt inspire some varied responses. That being said, these are still very early days and confirmation of the meeting between Rowling and Zaslav has yet to actually emerge. If Rowling were willing to even write something Harry Potter-related, Warner Bros. will likely be pleased with the franchise’s future. That could very well be a possibility, but whether or not it is likely is anyone’s guess. The biggest takeaway from all this, then, is that Warner Bros.’ new CEO is interested in the Potter franchise, and that in itself is promising. With the Fantastic Beasts franchise on the rocks, it’s no wonder that WB is looking for other options. This could also signal that there isn’t much of a future for that prequel series.

One valid point of criticism in all this remains that rather than put the effort into making a Harry Potter-related TV series, Rowling could put that energy into writing a new book. For someone who isn’t interested in continuing to tell Harry’s story, Rowling has certainly not hesitated to explore every other avenue of the wizarding world. With her public persona currently facing some very real challenges, Rowling might do well to get back to role that made her one of the most famous authors of all time – writing Harry Potter books.
