Fans have been relentlessly begging Warner Bros for more details regarding the reboot, with the most demand being for an update on who will play some of the most iconic characters in Harry Potter, as well as the chosen one himself. There’s been a lot of speculation that some actors from the films will reprise their roles, and some even believe actors like Daniel Radcliffe will return, but through cameo appearances.

Warner Bros has released a few teases, promising the show will give fans the chance to enjoy the series in a totally different way to the films, and that it’s believed the TV series will last for decades.

Now HBO CEO Casey Bloys has said the company is "delighted to give audiences the opportunity to discover Hogwarts in a whole new way.” He went on to say Harry Potter “is a cultural phenomenon and it is clear there is such an enduring love and thirst for the Wizarding World.”

When talking about the development of the show, Bloys said they’re having “conversations with a number of different writers” to figure out who will lead the show, and that casting will be “tricky” since “the kids are on the younger end, around 11 or 12” in the first two books.

Nevertheless it’s an exciting development for fans, as it’s clear the show is aimed to be a faithful adaptation of the books they’ve come to adore over the years.
