After The Hollywood Reporter announced that Warner Media executives were developing a series based on the “Harry Potter” saga, many fans were divided over the news.
However, The Hollywood Reporter released a statement in which HBO Max confirms that “there is no ‘Harry Potter’ series in development.”
In the text, Casey Bloys, the director of content for the streaming platform, says:
“I can’t add anything to the rumors because they are rumors. We don’t make any deals with the writers or anyone. There is no “Harry Potter” series in development. ”
Still, the executive said they would like to see the idea implemented.
“Of course, I would like to take this idea further, but there is nothing in our plans.”
It looks like the fans’ wish was granted, as some of them were promoting a campaign for Warner to drop the idea.
