The Wizarding World is currently going through a major facelift; unfortunately, it’s not one that anyone actually asked for. Warner Bros. surprised fans when it announced the development of a Harry Potter TV reboot, and with the show finally gaining traction, there doesn’t seem to be any room in the franchise for anything else.
HBO’s Potter series is currently the only project on the Wizarding World slate. That doesn’t bode well for the Fantastic Beasts series, which had been in limbo during the two years since The Secrets of Dumbledore struggled at the box office. Once positioned as the franchise's potential future, the film saga has faced an uphill battle for years. Though its first entry found some success in 2016, two middling sequels and a slew of behind-the-scenes controversies crippled any forward momentum.
