Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is set 19 years after the Battle of Hogwarts and centers on Albus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, the respective sons of Harry and Draco Malfoy, who, through time travel, save Cedric Diggory from his death, changing the future for wrong. The trouble Albus gets into causes the three friends (Harry, Ron and Hermione) to meet again for an adventure.

This book would be the ideal option to resume the path back to the magical world and perhaps create new stories. Of course, this would imply reaching an agreement with JK Rowling, who, apparently, refuses to adapt said book to the cinema, because despite the fact that it has been recognized in the West End and Broadway, and was even a Tony Award winner , is still classified as a “bad fanfiction” by the followers of the saga.

According to reports in Screen Rant, David Zaslav, president of Warner Bros. Discovery, mentioned during the company’s earnings meeting that he is very interested in doing more with the magical saga, since “there have been no Harry Potter movies made.” for 15 years”, leaving aside the adaptations of fantastic animals, whose success was not desired.

Zaslav says it’s better to bring the original wizard back to the big screen than to expand the universe without him. In addition, the adaptation of the already mentioned play and book (Harry Potter and the Cursed Child).

On the other hand, adapting the book into a film could be difficult, since there are no indications that Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson or Rupert Grint are interested in reprising their roles and filming together again. Additionally, the story would require bringing back other members of the original cast, such as Robbie Coltrane (Rubeus Hagrid) and Alan Rickman (Severus Snape), both of whom have since passed away.
