In 2026, or even 2027, the first season of the Harry Potter series is set to debut on the Max streaming platform. This is an extremely ambitious project from Warner Bros., who hope to create a buzz. The first elements we have about this production give us reason to be optimistic. Explanations.
A long-running series
First of all, the entertainment giant is committed to a very long project. The idea of making one season per Harry Potter novel was first discussed. But the streaming platform seems to want to play for extra time. Le Journal du Geek recently explained that the series could span around ten years, enough to allow an entire generation to grow up with these characters.
A story that will speak to newcomers and fans alike
Warner Bros wants to stick to J.K. Rowling's books. The introduction should therefore rekindle the flame of the most nostalgic and we will see a young Harry Potter who discovers his wizarding powers and goes to Hogwarts, then becomes aware of his power and a dark reality: he is the only one who can defeat Voldemort. At his side, a gallery of characters who have become legendary, like Hermione, Ron and so many others.

So many elements that they sometimes had to elude in order to fit into the limited duration of feature films.
Talented filmmakers at the helm
It is Francesca Gardiner who shone on the series His Dark Materials who is in charge of this adaptation. The controversial writer J.K. Rowling nevertheless wants to keep an eye on her baby and she will work on this project.
It should also be noted that Mark Mylod will direct several episodes. The latter is anything but a newcomer and has already worked on HBO series such as Game of Thrones and The Last of Us.
The casting is not yet known, but we already know that the original trio of Emma Watson, Daniel Radcliffe and Rupert Grint will not be returning and that is completely logical.
As we will have understood, there are still many unknowns about this project, but it already ticks certain boxes that encourage us to believe in it. For your part, and given the information we have, are you optimistic for the series ? Tell us in the comments.
