At its Max streaming event, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed a new era is coming for Harry Potter fans. The company announced a TV series based on all seven books about the boy wizard written by J.K.

Rowling. See below for the most current answers to the most important questions about the project. What is the Harry Potter TV series about? “This new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years,” said Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content about the project, which he also assured fans would be “a faithful adaptation.” Early reports had each season of the series focusing on one book in the Harry Potter book series, which consists of seven novels, but Bloys said the project would run for “10 consecutive years,” which would seem to defy the 1 season, 1 book assertion.

But there are three Fantastic Beasts books, which could be leveraged to provide 10 seasons over 10 years. Whatever the case, Bloys promised that, as the company embarks on its new Harry Potter era, “We do so with the full care and craft of this franchise.” Photo Gallery: All The ‘Harry Potter’ Movies In Chronological Order When will the Harry Potter series be released? The timeline on the series’ debut is unclear, but given that Warner Bros.

Discovery is embarking on a high-profile revamp of its streaming service, even changing its name from HBO Max to just Max, it’s a pretty good bet the company wants Harry Potter wizarding on the platform ASAP.
