The magical world is celebrating! And the reason behind the celebration is that HBO officially reported that J. K Rowling will join the production of the new Harry Potter series. Recently, it was revealed that the creator of the saga will participate in the project as an executive producer, which means that the writer will influence the direction that the new series will take. However, the bad news is that it is not yet known how much participation Rowling will have in the project since it is unknown if she will have a say in the creative decisions or the choice of the cast.
Be that as it may, the fact that the British writer confirms her participation in the HBO production is synonymous with security for fans of the Boy Who Lived, who remain somewhat worried about how the story will be adapted to the small screen.
Production of the Harry Potter Series Has Already Begun
Another piece of good news for Harry Potter fans is that production of the series has already started, as HBO has already begun to assemble the team of writers who will be in charge of adapting J.K Rowling’s work. According to Deadline, what will be sought is for each group of screenwriters to develop an idea, which will be analyzed by the studio to determine which one will be reflected in the plot.
The first “writers’ tables” have been convened in Los Angeles, and it is known that starting next week they will also begin to take place in London. Although the complete list of screenwriters who will participate in the project is not known, it is known that Michael Leslie from The Hunger Games; Martha Hillier from The Last Kingdom, and Tom Moran from The Devil’s Hour are in.
