Title: Harry Potter TV show. Post by: Alex on July 14, 2019, 12:45:30 PM Quote Harry Potter TV Show In Development At Warner Bros. By Matt Joseph @wgtc_site 2 weeks ago It’s now been nearly eight years since the Harry Potter films took their final bow, and after the closure we got with 2011’s Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part 2, it’s not exactly like there’s a big demand for Daniel Radcliffe to reprise his role in further sequels. Still, thanks to the ongoing Fantastic Beasts series, the Wizarding World has maintained a presence in pop culture in recent years, and according to sources close to We Got This Covered, there’s even more potential for the property to expand with further stories. Apparently, Warner Bros. is in the very early stages of developing a Harry Potter TV show for their upcoming streaming service. From what we understand, this will be a prequel and take place mostly at Hogwarts and around parts of Europe. Plot details are being kept under lock and key, but so far, it’s expected to feature all new characters, with the only connections to the property being that it’s set in the same universe as the books were. Unfortunately, that’s all we’ve got to go on for now and given how early on it is in the development process, we don’t imagine we’ll hear anything concrete for quite some time. Still, this can only be good news for Potter fans, who’ve been craving more of the Wizarding World after the somewhat underwhelming Fantastic Beasts series. Speaking of which, the third entry in the spinoff franchise starring Eddie Redmayne as Magizoologist Newt Scamander has been delayed from its initial release date in November 2020 to November 2021. Filming is due to start next spring though, so we should learn a little more about it sooner rather than later. And as for this planned Harry Potter TV series? Well, it’s certainly an intriguing prospect and makes sense for the studio to do, given that they’ll want their streaming service to be able to compete with Netflix, Disney Plus, etc., but given how it’s still early, early days, it’s hard to tell how it’ll pan out. As always, though, we’ll keep our ear to the ground and be sure to let you know once we receive further updates, so stay tuned. Title: Re: Harry Potter TV show. Post by: BoyScoutKevin on July 14, 2019, 04:42:10 PM I am not surprised, as there is apparently an audience out there for something like this, as the book-film series has already spawned a British play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which is now playing on Broadway.
Streaming services seem to be the way to go, with . . . CBS having CBS All-Access NBC/Universal coming out with their own streaming service next year, as is Warner/Turner with HBO Max and Disney/ABC having both Disney+, which will roll out this year, and Hulu. Indeed, there are over a baker's dozen of TV shows based on earlier films, scheduled to play on either Disney+ or Hulu, featuring not only Disney characters, both animated and live action, but also characters from Star Wars, Pixar, Marvel, and the Muppets.

Post by: 316zombie on July 15, 2019, 03:54:01 PM see, now, i have to disagree, i really like the fantastic beasts movies. what i'd LOVE to see though, is a crossover with the wizarding world and the world of miss peregrine's home for peculiar children, i have a great love for that too.

Title: Re: Harry Potter TV show. Post by: 316zombie on July 16, 2019, 03:00:29 PM well... did you find shelley duvall attractive in her younger days? she resembles her in an odd way, i think curtis would probably crush on eva like he did shelley.
Title: Re: Harry Potter TV show. Post by: Alex on July 16, 2019, 03:14:40 PM The only thing I can think of her in would be The Shining and I'd have to say no there. I find Eva Green... interesting to look at I guess would be the way the describe it, rather than attractive.
