Report: Harry Potter TV show in development at Warner Bros.

A Harry Potter TV show is reportedly in the early stages of development at Warner Bros. Are we finally getting a Marauders series, or will it be something else entirely?

Everybody stay calm! The news we have all been waiting to hear for what feels like decades has happened. A Harry Potter TV show is reportedly in development and it will be taking us back to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.

Details about the Wizarding World TV show are vague; which isn’t surprising if it is in the early stages of development. No official announcement has been made by Warner Bros. either, only reports via news outlets have been made.

So, while we here at Wizards and Whatnot are super excited about the prospect of a Harry Potter TV show, you should take this news with a pinch of salt. Because in the end, nothing may come of this.

Assuming it does happen though, here is everything there is to know so far:

It will be a prequel series, set before The Boy Who Lived’s time at Hogwarts; its not clear if it will be set before the Fantastic Beasts series.

For those of you hoping it will be a Marauders series, I have some bad news. While the prequel will feature in the same Wizarding World universe, all of the characters to feature will be brand new. Which means there will be no Young Sirius Black, Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew or James Potter.

Setting will be in and around Hogwarts. Along with parts of Europe as well. So, there is the chance we may see Beauxbatons Academy and Drumstrang.

In terms of what network the prequel will air on. It is destined to feature on the Warner Bros. streaming platform. How that will work for fans outside of the US is unclear as it will depend on if Warner Bros. decide to launch their streaming platform outside the US or not.

That’s all the details available so far. If and when more are released, you will here about it right here at Wizards and Whatnot. Fingers crossed this will become a reality, because it would be simply amazing.
