Discovery officially announced on April 12 that a new Max Original is in the works, rebooting the Harry Potter franchise. Discovery's CEO David Zaslav has new, "fresh" ideas for how to use one of the company's most valuable pieces of IP Is Harry Potter Getting a Reboot? Harry Potter The greatest success since 2011's Death Hallows Part 2 is likely Hogwarts Legacy, an action role-playing game developed by Avalanche Software, which has sold over 15 million copies worldwide. However, since concluding over a decade ago, the Harry Potter IP has been underutilized with the Fantastic Beasts trilogy that earned limited success. Standouts like Alan Rickman's Snape, Robbie Coltrane's Hagrid, and Ralph Fiennes' Voldemort help the film franchise stand the test of time. Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint as Harry, Hermione, and Ron are examples of some of the best child actor casting ever in Hollywood. The record-setting book series stole the hearts of many on the big screen from the years 2001-2011.Ī major part of its success was the cast of characters, specifically Harry, Hermione Granger, and Ron Weasley. The Harry Potter franchise is one of the most iconic in cinematic history.
