3:53 PM EDT, June 26, 2024
The "Harry Potter" series is what all fans of the wizard's adventures have been waiting for. MAX has revealed details about the production.
Eight movies are not the same as seven seasons, right? "Harry Potter" fans, imagine this: at least six one-hour episodes, plenty of long-awaited details, updated special effects, and the return of beloved characters.
There are reasons to rejoice - of course, whether the production will meet expectations (and the Harry Potter fandom can be very demanding) remains to be seen. Celebrating before the sun sets is not worth celebrating, but excitement is allowed.
Who will take on the golden trio? Who will get the iconic role of Albus Dumbledore? How will Voldemort be portrayed? Will we finally get the backstory of the Gaunt family? Will the series feature Ludo Bagman, Winky, Charlie Weasley, or other forgotten characters? These questions remain unanswered, but MAX has informed us of some secrets. We know more about the upcoming "Harry Potter" series.
"Harry Potter" - we know the director and showrunner of the MAX series
"All aboard the Hogwarts Express! Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod will executive produce the new HBO Original Series, Harry Potter, with Gardiner serving as showrunner and Mylod directing multiple episodes. Coming soon to Max.!" reads the official press release.
If these names are unfamiliar to you, it only seems that way. Francesca Gardiner and Mark Mylod collaborated on the hit show "Succession." Additionally, Gardiner is known for "Killing Eve" and "His Dark Materials." Mylod directed episodes of "Game of Thrones," "Shameless," and "The Last of Us," among others.
MAX promises that Harry Potter will be as faithful an adaptation of J.K. Rowling's saga as possible. The exact premiere date of the first season is still unknown.
