Could HBO Be Blessing Us With A 'Harry Potter' TV Series?

'Harry Potter' fans rejoice!

Could HBO Max be blessing us with a live-action Harry Potter TV series?

According to reports, the platform is in the early stages of development, and this is what we know so far.

Executives at HBO Max have had conversations with potential writers to explore ideas that could bring Harry Potter to TV.

While there have been meetings to make the idea become a reality, no writers or talent are currently involved. 

The Hollywood Reporter wrote that HBO is in the "extremely early stages and no deals have been made."

Harry Potter is one of WarnerMedia's most valuable properties, grossing over $7 billion worldwide from the eight movies, so it's no surprise the company wants to continue capitalizing on it. 

Alongside the entertainment conglomerate, author J.K. Rowling owns the right to all things HP. Expanding the world of Harry Potter is reportedly a top priority for HBO Max and WarnerMedia.

Plans for the series seem promising based on what we know right now, so we'll keep our fingers crossed for any developments.
