Well, not exactly Harry Potter. But it will take place in the exact same world, in what is apparently a brand new series of films. As a huge HP fan myself, I'm at least curious to see how it unfolds.

I'm definitely interested as I think there are plenty stories they could tell that have nothing to do with Harry.

I agree. As a kid, I fell in love with the world that Harry Potter takes place in and even in my early adult life, I think it's awesome.

Wasn't the news about new HP books just a rumor too ?

One day the Star Wars franchise will do that same with telling stories outside of the regular characters.

New films were inevitable. I'm just happy they didn't cast Clint Eastwood as 75 year old Harry because voldemorts unknown son returns and wreaks havoc. Lol

This sounds like it could be cool though.

Yeah, but as I told some other people, I knew there was something to the rumors. It was pulled back too quickly, and I assumed that Rowling and Warner Bros would make an announcements about something a couple of days later.

Perhaps the most exciting thing about all of this is that WB also said that they will be working on a new video game. Harry Potter has always had a lot going for it, but creating a good, solid video game was never one of those things. With the technology on next-gen systems, I'd love to see an open world Harry Potter game. Would be a dream come true for me.
