Calling all Potterheads!
HBO Max, which will be renamed Max in May, officially announced that the fantasy book series Harry Potter will have a small-screen adaptation.
The teaser was released by HBO Max on all their social media platforms on Thursday, April 13.
“Your Hogwarts letter is here. Max has ordered the first ever #HarryPotter scripted television series, a faithful adaptation of the iconic books. #StreamOnMax,” it said.
Not much was revealed about the upcoming television series except that it will be a Max Original series and a “faithful” adaptation of the books authored by J.K. Rowling. No information about the director, producer, screenwriters, or actors was disclosed.
The possibility of producing a Harry Potter TV series was reported two years ago by The Hollywood Reporter. The news site mentioned that Warner Bros. Media and HBO Max were searching for talents and writers to create the television series.
Harry Potter was first adapted into a film series, which reached eight, with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows divided into two parts.
When the first Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone (known as Philosopher’s Stone in the UK), came out in 2001, it made kids more interested in the idea of magic.
