<p>It's official now. OTT platform Max (earlier known as HBO Max) will stream the <em>Harry Potter </em>tv series. Speculations had been rife for the past few days on whether HBO would greenlight the project and now it has been confirmed that the platform will bankroll a 'decade-long series' based on JK Rowling's seven novels. An eight-part film franchise already has been made based on the books. The web series will have a fresh cast. Makers stated that it would be a "faithful adaptation of the beloved <em>Harry Potter</em> book series."<br />
<br />
The announcement was made during Warner Bros&nbsp;Discovery’s presentation to the press and investors on April 12, during which it was announced that HBO Max and Discovery+ are officially being combined into a new service dubbed simply Max.<br />
<br />
Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO of HBO Max said that the team is delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
“<em>Harry Potter</em> is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and JK&nbsp;Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years, "said Bloys.&nbsp;</p>

The announcement ends years of speculation on whether the popular franchise would ever make its transition to TV. &nbsp;The first book of the series - <em>Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone-</em> was published in 1997.

In addition to the books, each of which was a bestseller, there have been eight <em>Harry Potter&nbsp;</em>films to date, which have collectively grossed more than $7.7 billion at the global box office.
