A HBO describes the new series of Harry Potter as a faithful adaptation of the novels of JK Rowling. Although there is no official set number of seasons yet, it is expected that each book in the saga will have its own season, with production lasting around a decade. In other words, just like the films, we will see the actors grow with the characters.

Since it is a series, the new adaptation will have the chance to explore in greater depth several elements present in the books that had to be left out in the film versions. With more screen time, the episodes will be able to better develop secondary characters, parallel plots and details of the wizarding universe that will enrich the experience for fans — especially those who have always dreamed of seeing a more faithful version of the original stories.

The production has sca Gardiner (His Dark Materials, ) as a screenwriter, executive producer and showrunner, While Mark Mylod (Succession, Game of Thrones) will direct multiple episodes and also serve as an executive producer. JK Rowling, author of the original work, also participates as executive producer, alongside Neil Blair, Ruth Kenley-Letts e david hayman. The series will be produced in partnership with Brontë Film and TV and Warner Bros. Television.
