According to preliminary data, the project is still at an early stage of production. There are no writers or other talent attached to the series yet, but WarnerMedia is in talks with a variety of writers. It is also not yet clear in what time period the events will develop and whether they will be associated with Harry Potter directly.
Representatives of HBO Max and Warner Bros. told the publication The Hollywood Reporterthat “no Harry Potter series is currently in production in the studio or for the streaming platform.” However, company representatives may well interpret the word “production” differently.
Last week it became known about the personnel reshuffle in WarnerMedia, as a result of which the producer Tom Asheim was appointed responsible for the development of all projects in the Wizarding World universe. We are talking about movies, TV shows, video games and so on.
Asheim will report directly to the head of WarnerMedia Ann Sarnoff and personally communicate with the writer J.K. Rowling and her officials. The top manager has also been instructed to expand the scale of the franchise, but detailed plans have not yet been disclosed.

As for the possible development of the franchise, you can recall the controversial play “Harry potter and the cursed child“which is a sequel to the J.K. Rowling saga, but contains a number of strange plot decisions. For example, Hermione Granger is suddenly black and the narrative suffers from a lack of logic.
WarnerMedia’s work is complicated by scandals. Thus, J.K. Rowling has provoked the ire of “fighters for social justice” who accuse the writer of transphobia. In addition, the company fired the actor. Johnny deppwho played Gellert Grindelwald in “Fantastic Beasts 3“while paying him about $ 10 million.
