The original run of Harry Potter live-action adaptations ended in 2011 when Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows – Part 2 premiered. But, ever since Harry Potter and the Cursed Child started making waves following its publication in 2016, word has spread around on The Leaky Cauldron that Warner Bros. Discovery is thinking about bringing the original cast back to adapt the play for the big screen.
While rumors were especially persistent last week, Warner Bros. has since denied their legitimacy.
In a statement sent to The Mirror, a spokesperson for Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed that the said report going around over the weekend "is false."
There's plenty of factors in play that make creating a new Harry Potter film difficult, much more so if Warner Bros. wants to bring back the original trio. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson, who plays Harry Potter and Hermione Granger, respectively, have since stepped away from the Wizarding World in light of the controversies surrounding J.K. Rowling.
