Harry Potter - La Série [Warner : Wizarding World - 2026]

Je la sens bien cela la. JKR en productrice exécutive ça évitera le wokisme , la propagande et de faire un navet comme les anneaux de pouvoir en détruisant de très bonnes oeuvres

Je comprends pas trop les avis négatifs sur cette nouvelle !
Même si les films je les trouve sympa et que j'avais 10 ans  quand le 1er est sorti, c'est dire l'affect que j'ai pour eux, force est de constater que par rapport aux livres il manque tellement d'éléments surtout a partir du 3 car les livres étaient bien plus conséquents et bien sûr impossible de faire tout tenir dans un film de 2h, même en faisant le 7 en deux parties il manquait énormément de choses
Donc faire une série avec une saison par livre au contraire ça va permettre de bien plus explorer cet univers et de raconter cette super histoire de manière bien plus immersive. En tout cas en temps que "humble" potterhead je suis ravi de cette nouvelle au contraire !

J ai tellement hâte

Je ne vois pas l'intérêt, c'est encore trop tôt.
J'aurais largement préféré une adaptation de L'enfant maudit...

La production cherche des scénaristes.

‘Harry Potter’ TV Series Zeroes In On Premise As Selected Writers Pitch Their Ideas To Max

EXCLUSIVE: The Harry Potter television series is moving closer to fruition.

In April, Warner Bros. Discovery revealed that a series, based on the classic wizarding world, would be coming to its streaming service Max.

Deadline understands that things in Potterworld are now heating up with a marathon of pitches underway from writers vying for the right to adapt J.K. Rowling’s seven books.

Martha Hillier, Kathleen Jordan, Tom Moran and Michael Lesslie are among those who are presenting their visions to the streaming service and Warner Bros Television, sources said. It’s an interesting mix of Brits and Americans. We’ve heard that the group of writers were commissioned by Max to create pitches for a series reflecting their take on the IP.

We hear the first round of pitch meetings happened in Los Angeles this week and sources said that the top choices will go on to the next round in the UK. It is unclear how involved Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling, who lives in Edinburgh, Scotland, has been with the process, but she is expected to be involved in the decision-making on the series, which she executive produces.

Deadline understands that there may also be an opportunity for more than one of these writers to be involved, and that Max is open to the possibility of developing more than one idea based on Harry Potter.

Sources did stress that the process is in its nascent stages. Reps for Max and WBTV declined comment.

Hillier is a British writer who was executive producer of Netflix and BBC fantasy series The Last Kingdom as well as the spinoff film The Last Kingdom: Seven Kings Must Die. She got her start on British soaps including EastEnders and Holby City.

Jordan created the Netflix series Teenage Bounty Hunters, which was exec produced by Jenji Kohan. Jordan is also working with the Orange Is the New Black creator on The Decameron, which received a series order in 2022.

Moran is a British writer who created Amazon series The Devil’s Hour, which starred Peter Capaldi. He also worked on Amazon sci-fi series The Feed and Rob Lowe cop drama Wild Bill.

Lesslie wrote The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes and was exec producer of AMC’s John Le Carre drama The Little Drummer Girl, which starred Florence Pugh, Michael Shannon and Alexander Skarsgård. At one stage, he was attached to Peacock’s reboot of Battlestar Galactica.

The Harry Potter series will be produced by Brontë Film and TV, the production company chaired by Rowling’s agent Neil Blair, and Warner Bros Television. The pair will exec produce with Brontë CEO Ruth Kenley-Letts and David Heyman, who produced the movies, was in talks to exec produce.

In April, Warner Bros Discovery CEO David Zaslav said that Harry Potter on Max will be “a decade-long one.”

“My wife and I, we read [the Harry Potter books] to each of our three kids….It’s really moving, for 10 consecutive years, people will see Harry Potter on HBO; I mean it’s really something,” he said.

This caps a process that began in early 2023 for Casey Bloys, Chairman and CEO, HBO & Max Content. He said that before it officially announced the project in April, the company had been “trying to be very close to the vest.”

“We haven’t gone out to agencies. We have our own internal process where we’ve been thinking about people but we have not wanted to go out into the world. Now that the news is out there, we will start working with the Blair Partnership and we’ll start going out to the business.”

Rowling’s Wizarding World, spawned from her seven bestselling Harry Potter books at 600 million copies worldwide, spans retail stores, theme parks, a global stage play and a $7.7 billion global-grossing feature franchise as well as the $1.8 billion-grossing spinoff Fantastic Beasts movies.

Jo a été confirmée en tant qu'executive producer. Personnellement cette nouvelle me réjouit.

David Zaslav, président de Warner Bros. Discovery, a annoncé que la série Harry Potter est datée pour 2026.

Harry Potter TV Series Aiming for 2026 Debut on Max

Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav says he met with J.K. Rowling in London a few weeks ago to discuss the series.

The Harry Potter TV series is moving forward, with Warner Bros. Discovery now targeting a 2026 debut for the high-profile project.

The date was revealed Friday morning by David Zaslav on the company’s fourth-quarter earnings call.

“We’ve not been shy about our excitement around Harry Potter,” he said, discussing WBD’s franchise strategy. “The last film was made more than a dozen years ago.”

Zaslav also said that he met just a few weeks ago with Harry Potter creator J.K. Rowling in London.

“I was in London a few weeks ago with Casey [HBO and Max chief Casey Bloys] and Channing [WBD TV chief Channing Dungey] and we spent some real time with J.K. and her team,” he said. “Both sides are thrilled to be reigniting this franchise. Our conversations were great, and we couldn’t be more excited about what’s ahead. We can’t wait to share a decade of new stories with fans around the world on Max.”

Development of the series began back in 2021, as The Hollywood Reporter exclusively reported. WBD gave the series a green light last year, and said the plan is to develop seasons based on all of the books, spreading out over 10 years.

Une nouvelle réjouissante ! HBO met en général le paquet niveau série donc je ne peux qu’être confiant et impatient.

Attention par contre, la série ne sera pas HBO Original (comme Game of Thrones/House of the Dragon, True Detective ou The White Lotus) mais sera Max Original (Peacemaker, Gossip Girl ou la série à venir The Penguin). Ce qui n'est pas la même chose, malgré la confusion générée par "HBO Max", l'ancien nom de la plateforme de streaming de Warner Bros. Discovery.

Pour le dire plus simplement, Harry Potter ne sera pas une série HBO.
Max produira en association avec Brontë Film and TV et Warner Bros. Television.

Hey,

D’accord !
Et Max est la plateforme de Warner Bros et non HBO Max, c’est ça ?

Max est une plateforme de streaming regroupant les contenus de Warner Bros., Discovery Channel, HBO, CNN, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, Animal Planet et Eurosport.

Il ne faut pas confondre HBO et HBO Max (l'ancien nom de la plateforme de streaming Max) :

• HBO est une chaîne de télévision payante américaine axée sur la diffusion de films de cinéma récents et de séries dont certaines sont produites par la chaîne elle-même. HBO fait partie du groupe Warner Bros. Discovery.
  
• HBO Max est une plateforme de streaming qui a été remplacée par Max, après la fusion entre WarnerMedia et Discovery, Inc en 2022. HBO Max n'existe plus depuis 2023. Le nom de l'ancienne plateforme a été abandonné car il créait une confusion avec HBO, et Warner Bros. Discovery aurait craint que le nom HBO Max affaiblisse la valeur de la marque HBO si le public finissait par l'associer aux contenus moins prestigieux présents sur le service de streaming.
  

Merci, c’est bien plus clair.
