BURBANK, Calif. — Warner Bros. Discovery is preparing to make a "Harry Potter" television series and fans are not happy.
According to multiple reports, the new television project would be based on the best-selling "Harry Potter" books by J.K. Rowling.
Each season of the series would reportedly be based on one of the books. The series could become a franchise that would stretch for years with a new cast growing from childhood into adulthood.
Rowling would have some creative involvement with the series, according to Variety. An HBO Max spokesperson declined to comment.
Warner Bros. previously adapted the “Harry Potter” series into eight movies that made more than $7.7 billion at the box office, beginning with “Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone” in 2001, and ending with “Harry and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2” in 2011.
Social media reaction to news of the "Harry Potter" reboot has been universally derided.
