Subscriber only Harry Potter fans were spellbound this week when news came that a live-action TV series of the beloved book series is reportedly in very early development with HBO Max. While Warner Bros and HBO quickly shut down the story, which first appeared in The Hollywood Reporter, fans have long been campaigning for a TV series that would allow the books to be fleshed out in more details than the movie series. This year marks 20 years since Daniel Radcliffe first pulled on his cloak and boarded the Hogwarts Express, in Harry Potter And The Philosopher s Stone. We followed the adventures of Harry, Hermione, Ron and co. for a decade through eight movies, which earned almost $10bn worldwide.
