<p>Warner Bros had announced a live-action TV series set in the <em>Harry Potter</em> universe in 2021. And earlier this year, the series is said to have been in production. The series is not a spinoff like the ill-fated <em>Fantastic Beasts</em> series, but adapts the main fantasy novels by JK Rowling. Each season will reportedly adapt one book. We can argue that direct adaptation of the books was not needed considering we already have (mostly) excellent <em>Harry Potter&nbsp;</em>film<em>&nbsp;</em>series, but the announcement has still sent ripples of anticipation through the Wizarding World fandom anyway. Get ready to walk the gloomy, perilous hallways of Hogwarts once again.</p>

<p>While a lot of information is not available about the series, here's what it promises:</p>

<h2><strong>Comprehensive exploration of the story</strong></h2>

<p>As mentioned above, the series plans to dedicate each season to a specific book from Rowling's series. This approach should potentially allow for a more comprehensive exploration of the story, characters, and magical world-building that enchanted millions of readers worldwide. While the<em> Harry Potter</em> movies did quite a good job of bringing the books to life, they were constrained by time limitations, resulting in certain plot points and character arcs being condensed or even entirely omitted. The TV series provides a chance to expand on these elements, potentially including additional scenes, subplots, and character development that enhance our understanding and emotional connection to the story.</p>

<h2><strong>Advantages of long-form storytelling</strong></h2>

<p>With each book spanning several hundred pages, a TV series format allows for a more immersive and episodic storytelling experience. Viewers will have the opportunity to follow Harry, Ron, Hermione, and their classmates as they navigate their magical education year by year, uncovering mysteries, facing challenges, and growing together. This episodic structure should provide ample room to develop secondary characters and even explore Hogwarts' rich mythology.</p>

<h2><strong>Expanding the Wizarding World</strong></h2>

<p>Beyond the main storyline, the TV series could delve into the wider Wizarding World, exploring magical creatures, historical events, and lesser-known corners of the universe. Rowling world-building has made sure that the world of <em>Harry Potter</em> is much bigger than just Hogwarts. There are numerous unexplored places in the Wizarding World, like other magic schools, other forms of magic, magical creatures, and more. And with HBO's budget, the writers can really let their imagination run wild.</p>

<h2><strong>Familiar characters through an unfamiliar lens</strong></h2>

<p>The series offers the chance to reintroduce familiar characters and reimagine them through a fresh lens. We may get to spend more time with beloved fan-favourites like Luna Lovegood, Neville Longbottom, or even delve into the backstories of supporting characters who played crucial roles in the books but received limited screen time in the movies.</p>

Harry Potter TV series: Everything we know so far

<p>The announcement regarding the new<em> Harry Potter </em>TV series in development has nonplussed many, this scribe included. For one, a franchise barely 10 year older does not need a reboot. But the execs at Warner Bros Discovery would not be denied. They shall indeed have their reboot. But there is something to be said about the poverty of imagination if we are going to follow the same old story involving Harry Potter and the overarching conflict against Dark Wizard Lord Voldemort. Considering how rich and detailed the <em>Harry Potter</em> universe (also called <em>Wizarding World</em>) is, it is a shame.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Instead of again telling the story we already know intimately, the series should instead take a new direction and explore different stories and time periods in the Wizarding World.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The founding of Hogwarts</strong></h2>

<p>The Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded around the 9th century and 10th century by four powerful wizards: Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff and Salazar Slytherin. They sound like fascinating characters and also their presence still looms large in the present time. A standalone TV show could get deep into their characters and their motivations for creating the school.</p>

<h2><strong>The Marauders</strong></h2>

<p>And then there are the Marauders. A mischievous and yet brilliant group of young Gryffindors wizards (Remus Lupin, Peter Pettigrew, Sirius Black, and James Potter) they were not only pranksters during their time at Hogwarts, but they also left Marauder's Map, an object that helped future generations of troublemakers — including Harry, Hermione, and Ron. The series could delve into the friendships and rivalries between the four boys, as well as their interactions with other characters like Lily Evans and Severus Snape.&nbsp;</p>

<h2><strong>The rise of Voldemort</strong></h2>

<p>While we don't need to see another retelling of Voldemort's showdown with Harry Potter, we could explore his rise to power in more detail. The TV series could delve into his early years at Hogwarts and his gradual descent into darkness. We could see how he became interested in the dark arts and how he began recruiting followers. How his charisma and ability to attract people to this undoubtedly evil cause, and not just his unparalleled skills, played a part in him becoming the most powerful Dark Wizard the world had ever seen. The series could also explore the rise of the Death Eaters.</p>

<h2><strong>The Ministry of Magic</strong></h2>

<p>The <em>Harry Potter </em>movies did show us the inner workings of the Ministry of Magic, but a TV series could delve into how it operates and how Aurors, for instance, confront threats to the Wizarding World. We could see the political manoeuvring and power struggles that go on behind the scenes</p>

<h2><strong>Fresh characters and stories</strong></h2>

<p>There are many different corners of the Wizarding World that we have yet to explore, and the TV series could take us there. We could see how other wizarding schools operate, or how magical creatures interact with each other. Perhaps introduced a hitherto-new or little know character and tell their story.</p>
