According to the Wall Street Journal, one of the priorities of David Zaslav, former CEO of Discovery and now of the new joint group, would be precisely that to meet Rowling and discuss how to produce new content related to the wizard saga. The intention is above all to have new productions to be offered on Hbo Max, the streaming platform of the group that has ambitious growth expectations. On the other hand, for some years now, rumors about a possible TV series linked to Harry Potter have continued to be received, even if it is not clear what it could be about and how it would be linked to the wider destinies of this narrative universe.
It is not clear, moreover, if Zaslav wants to meet Rowling to seek her assent on the creation of various spin-offs or if he even wants to ask her to produce new content that would be the first person. enrich the saga. This could obviously be a double-edged sword: on the part of instilling new life, and taken from original stories, it could give new impetus to the franchise by leaving behind the not entirely successful experiment of Fantastic Beasts; on the other hand, however, a direct involvement of the writer could arouse bitter controversy, especially from those who consider her ideas by now incompatible with the messages of inclusion and acceptance that she herself had expressed in the original novels.
