A Harry Potter TV show is in the early stages of development, according to a new report. The Hollywood Reporter says a live TV show is being discussed with potential writers for streaming service HBO Max, exploring different ways to bring the Wizarding World to TV. The 'early stages' theme is central here - this is not an announcement that the books are being adapted into a TV show or anything similar. In fact, HBO Max and Warner Bros made the decision to deny that a series was even in the works, which THR included in its report. "There is no Harry Potter series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform," the statement said. However, THR's sources indicate that executives at the streaming service have had ``various conversations'' about such a thing. There's not much more meat on the back of the report, really, but the idea of a TV series based on the Harry Potter universe being conceptually possible is certainly exciting for fans. The Harry Potter movies ended in 2011, but expansions to the franchise are ongoing. A third Fantastic Beasts movie is in development, along with an open-world game called Hogwarts Legacy. A play called Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, set in the future of the fictional universe, was also a huge hit when you could go to the theater.
