Potterheads are going berserk on the internet ever since HBO Max officially unveiled the motion poster of the upcoming Harry Potter series.?
The announcement was made during Warner Bros. Discovery's presentation to the press and investors. News of a show based on the megahit J.K. Rowling's books first leaked on April 3 which didn't go down too well with the Potter fanatics.
It has finally been revealed that each season of the show will be based on one of the books in the franchise, with Warner Bros. Discovery described the show as a "decade-long series."
Adding insult to injury, it was further revealed that the show would feature an entirely new cast.?
"We are delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way," said Casey Bloys, chairman and CEO of HBO & Max Content.
"Harry Potter is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World. In partnership with Warner Bros. Television and J.K. Rowling, this new Max Original series will dive deep into each of the iconic books that fans have continued to enjoy for all of these years."
"Max's commitment to preserving the integrity of my books is important to me, and I'm looking forward to being part of this new adaptation which will allow for a degree of depth and detail only afforded by a long form television series," author JK Rowling said in a tweet.
A spinoff on the hit films was also released as 'Fantastic Beasts' film franchise. What's more, over the years several theme parks, games and recently launched video game Hogwarts Legacy have been launched as well.
There is also the hit Broadway show 'Harry Potter and the Cursed Child', which serves as a sequel to the book series.
