By 
child wizard A new Harry Potter series based on cherished books by author J.K. Rowling is coming to streaming television.
As part of the company’s aspirations for its Max streaming service, which mixes HBO Max with unscripted programming from Discovery, Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled the series on Wednesday.
More than 600 million copies of the seven Harry Potter books have been sold globally. From 2001 to 2011, blockbuster films starring Daniel Radcliffe based on these books brought approximately $7.7 billion worldwide.
Each season of the planned series will focus on one of Rowling’s books and will have a fresh cast. The series is supposed to run for ten years.
The show’s executive producer will be Rowling.
In a statement, Rowling said, “I’m excited to be a part of this new adaptation, which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long-form television series.”
In recent years, Rowling has generated controversy for remarks that have been called transphobic. Radcliffe and other stars who are Harry Potter fans took issue with her comments.
‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight’, a new ‘Game of Thrones prequel with executive producer and author George R.R. Martin, is among the other new shows coming to Max.
In a time when the Targaryen line occupies the Iron Throne, the series will take place 100 years before the events of “Game of Thrones.” According to the production company, the plot would center on a “young, naive but brave knight” and his squire.
Dates for each show’s release have not been disclosed by Warner Bros. Discovery.
