Casey Bloys, director of the platform, also ensures that at the moment there is absolutely nothing in development.
The Harry Potter saga began its audiovisual journey with the premiere of The Philosopher’s Stone in 2001, a process that lasted with the adaptation of the rest of the books for a decade. After this stage, Warner Bros, owner of HBO, continues to exploit the brand with the spin-off Fantastic Animals. However, no television product has yet been developed. Recently, HBO denied that they were working on a series set in the magical world, but in statements to Deadline, Casey Bloys, the platform’s head of content, now admits that there is interest in something like that materialize.
“I wouldn’t even say that [el proyecto está en fase] embryonic right now ”, he points out. “There is nothing in development, but I think it is fair to say that Game of Thrones, Harry Potter and DC are sagas that WarnerMedia enjoys and that represent a great advantage for us, so there will always be interest in making something of quality with these properties “.
