I have never heard of rumors about Warner restarting the "Harry Potter" IP. Recently, there are rumors that "Warner is developing the "Harry Potter 8: Cursed Child" movie that may be released in 2025."
Let me explain first. This is still a rumor at present. Official news has also been revealed. Excited fans should calm down for a while.
As the ceiling IP for "magic"-themed works, "Harry Potter" has faded out of the movie world for a long time. Although Warner earlier launched the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" series of movies, after the three movies were launched, You can tell from the feedback -
simply cannot carry the banner of "Magical World".
Therefore, it has been reported for a long time that Warner wants to restart the "Harry Potter" IP, which includes movie works and "drama" works that have previously released titles.
As for the drama series, I have also talked about them in the push earlier. Basically, Warner will adopt the setting of one movie story per season based on the original movies, and extend the settings of movies such as "The Magician" and "The Secret Room". So even though the story told by many people has seen the movie, there are bound to be some more detailed extensions that some fans cannot watch within the length of the movie.
This is one of the selling points of the TV series version of "Harry Potter".
There is an essential difference between the rumored "Cursed Child" movie and the series. The former tells an old story, while the latter is a new continuation of the "Harry Potter" world. Of course, many fans may watch it. A stage play adapted from this story.
The main body is no longer the story of Harry Potter, but the story of his son. If you want to restart such a valuable IP, and to a certain extent, you must ensure that it is at the same level as the previous one. Personally, I I feel that the rumored release date of 2025 is not true, but at least the time is tight!
According to a report from Puck's Matt Belloni:
Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav and executives Michael De Luca and Pam Abdy had plans to "work hard" on adapting Harry Potter: The Cursed Child, and even It was previously reported that Warner has invited JK Rowling as a producer.
But insiders also say that Harry Potter actor Daniel Radcliffe and Hermione Granger actor Emma Watson are not interested in returning due to the controversy surrounding J.K. Rowling. The attitude is not very clear.
"Ron" actor Rupert Grint was more open to the concept story, saying "if the time was right" he would be willing to revisit his story as long as "everyone would come back." Wizarding World Characters":
"Yeah I think if the time is right everyone will come back and I would definitely revisit the opportunity, it's a role that's important to me and I've kind of grown up and we've changed He has become the same person, and I also feel that he is very protective of him."
On the other hand, Daniel Radcliffe revealed to the "New York Times" in 2022 that "Harry Potter 9" "is not him. Something that's really interesting now" but he "never said never to return":
"It's not the answer anyone would want, but I think I'll be able to go back and enjoy it because it's not me anymore part of my daily life, I've reached a point where I feel like I've moved on from Harry Potter and I'm very happy with where I am now and going back would be a huge change in my life, But I would never say never come back, those actors in Star Wars were probably 30 or 40 years apart before they came back, and for me, it was only 10 years, so it’s not really what I’m interested in right now. Things."
I can only say that if Warner is really willing to develop this movie, at least there is definitely a market. After all, the "Harry Potter" series of movies cultivated a large fan base. Now restarting the series itself will bring its own thermal field effect.
But then again:
Warner's current drama adaptation is just the beginning. The first season of telling old stories has not yet been released. Movies telling new stories may only stay in the rumor stage, maybe until When the story of the series reaches half of the movie series, such as "Half-Blood Prince", Warner will really consider starting the "Harry Potter: Cursed Child" movie to "continue" after the series ends. market.
