A decade-long series based on the stories from each of Rowling’s Harry Potter books will be produced with the same epic craft, love, and care that this global franchise is known for. The show will have a new cast to inspire a new generation of Harry Potter fans. It will be packed with amazing details, beloved characters, and dramatic locations that Harry Potter fans have adored for more than 25 years. The original, classic, and adored films will remain at the core of the franchise and be available to watch worldwide, while each season will be true to the books and introduce Harry Potter and these incredible adventures to new audiences worldwide.

Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content, stated, “We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way.” It is evident that there is such a pervasive love and thirst for the Wizarding World in Harry Potter, which is a cultural phenomenon. This new Max Original series, created in collaboration with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, will go deep into each of the well-known books that fans have enjoyed for so long.

J.K. Rowling stated, “I’m looking forward to being part of this new adaptation, which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long-form television series.” Max’s commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me.
