screenrant: Now, with the Harry Potter TV show’s release date nowhere in sight, Heyman provides an update to Total Film (via GamesRadar) regarding the status of the series and what audiences can expect. While it doesn’t sound like the show will be coming anytime soon, the producer does tease that this new format will allow for a more faithful adaptation. Check out Heyman’s full comment below:
“[On Harry Potter] It’s early days. We haven’t even hired a writer to begin writing. It’s a bit early. But hopefully [it will be] something that’s very special, and gives us an opportunity to see the books, and to enjoy a series which explores the books more deeply.”
It is expected that the Harry Potter TV series will premiere on Max (formerly HBO Max) sometime between 2025 to 2026.
I’d imagine a fair amount of retconning will be in order to clear out the… inconsistencies and give the world a more uniform form. Isn’t the series already greenlit for seven seasons? If so, that’s more than enough time to grow the characters over time. The only things that need to be fixed are the obvious plotholes and contradictions.
