HBO's Harry Potter Series Described as 'Biggest Streaming Event'

Warner Bros. Discovery chief JB Perrette has said the upcoming TV reboot of Harry Potter could be "the biggest streaming event in the history of HBO Max and arguably in streaming, period. It's number one, two and three in many ways. We can't wait for this global streaming event." He made the remarks as HBO Max prepares to go global just in time for a return to Hogwarts.

The film franchise wound down 15 years ago with Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, which capped a $7.7 billion run and helped make icons of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson and Rupert Grint. HBO has been working on a small-screen adaptation since 2021, with the intention of turning each of J.

K. Rowling's seven books into its own season. HBO's track record in prestige television and the involvement of composer Hans Zimmer and director Mark Mylod bolster the project's prospects. Dominic McLaughlin is the new Harry Potter and Francisca Gardiner serves as showrunner.
