HBO has just dropped some magical news about the upcoming Harry Potter series, and if you’re a Succession fan, you might just want to Accio a seat!
Drumroll, please! Francesca Gardiner, who has been cooking up drama on Succession like it’s a batch of Polyjuice Potion, has been named the showrunner and executive producer. That’s right, she’s bringing her wizardry from the Roy family to the wizarding world! And as if that wasn’t enough to make you drop your butterbeer, Succession’s very own producer and director, Mark Mylod, will be donning his director’s cloak to helm multiple episodes. Yes, you heard it right: he’ll be executive producing and directing! Expect the Hogwarts Express to be running on high-speed drama!
Now, for those Muggles who’ve been living under a rock or possibly petrified by a basilisk, the series is set to be a faithful adaptation of J.K. Rowling’s spellbinding books. That’s right, we’re diving back into the magical world that has kept us all bewitched, bothered, and bewildered for over twenty-five years! With a brand-new cast, we’re ushering in a new generation of Potterheads. Whether you’re Gryffindor brave or Slytherin cunning, this show is set to deliver all the charm, enchantment, and maybe even a little bit of Weasley twin mischief.
And no, the original movies aren’t getting Vanished. They’ll still be around for all your nostalgia needs, ready to be summoned via your streaming devices. So don’t worry, you can still enjoy the classic flicks while the new series works its magic.
As for who’s going to be donning those iconic round glasses and lightning bolt scar? The Sorting Hat hasn’t revealed that yet! Stay tuned for more updates, and maybe keep a few Extendable Ears handy for the latest news.
