Harry Potter: Everything That's Been Said About a Possible Reboot (MovieWeb)

Whether we like it or not, a Harry Potter reboot has become inevitable. The question is: how soon can we expect one to arrive?

tried to reproduce the impact of Harry Potter by reintroducing us to the Wizarding World with the Fantastic Beasts franchise. The main face of the franchise, Daniel Radcliffe, doesn't see himself returning for at least another 30-40 years: "I’m getting to a point where I feel like I made it out of 'Potter' okay, and I’m really happy with where I am now, and to go back would be such a massive change to my life." It would also be interesting to explore the lives of Hogwarts founders Godric Gryffindor, Rowena Ravenclaw, Helga Hufflepuff, and Salazar Slytherin. Instead of making a big boom in the film industry, the franchise is on very thin ice, with slim possibilities for the franchise to go forward with its initially-planned five-movie arc. His only condition to start a new Harry Potter related project is to have Rowling's involvement going forward. We haven’t done a Harry Potter in 15 years. With people lining up to purchase the books, the Harry Potter series is the highest-selling book series to ever exist, with more than 500 million copies sold (via The actors weren't the only ones taken aback by the impact their roles have made on the world.

'Prisoner of Azkaban' Is the Best Directed, But Worst Written Harry ... (Collider.com)

Alfonso Cuarón made a great movie with the Prisoner of Azkaban, but the script makes no sense without reading the book.

[The Lord of the Rings](https://collider.com/tag/the-lord-of-the-rings/), [One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest](https://collider.com/tag/one-flew-over-the-cuckoos-nest/), [To Kill A Mockingbird](https://collider.com/tag/to-kill-a-mockingbird/). Sadly, this time, the script for Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban just had a little too much faith in the audience's readership. [on the topic of Patronuses](https://collider.com/rarest-patronuses-ranked/), the Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban script never explains that a full Patronus should take on the form of an animal. He was an up-and-coming director at the turn of the millennium that was given the mantel of a blockbuster franchise, and he thoroughly delivered. However, it is the third act of Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban where holes start to appear in the story's fabric. He brought his unique talents and vision to the series, but never lost the spirit of the Potter universe. Again, most of the Harry Potter movies do manage to hold their own, and audiences can usually appreciate them even if they aren't familiar with the books. A deeply visual storyteller, Cuarón also fills Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban with more aesthetic nuance than other films in the series. These small moments foreshadow the time-travel plot that emerges towards Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban's ending. In the movie, by contrast, few of these details are provided, and most of them are simply glossed over in a stammering shouting match between Lupin, Sirius, and Harry. [Daniel Radcliffe](https://collider.com/tag/daniel-radcliffe/)) return to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry for his third year. At the same time, no Potter movie is without its flaws, and for all of Cuarón's masterful direction, [Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban](https://collider.com/tag/harry-potter-and-the-prisoner-of-azkaban/) also remains tarnished by a script that omits crucial details from the books while relying a little too heavily on the audience's familiarity with [J.K.
