Warner Bros. Discovery is brandishing its favorite wand, confirming plans for a highly anticipated “Harry Potter” television series, among other high-profile projects for the streaming service formerly known as HBO Max.
The new “Harry Potter” series will be a “faithful adaptation” of J.K. Rowling’s bestselling novels, the company said Wednesday as part of a larger unveiling of its new streaming service, which will be named Max.
“Harry Potter” was one of many TV projects the company announced for the service, including a “Game of Thrones” prequel (titled “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: The Hedge Knight”), a comedy based on “The Big Bang Theory” and a drama derived from the “Conjuring” horror film franchise.
