Harry Potter fans have recently learned the team behind the anticipated, albeit controversial, development of the HBO live-action reboot will share a narrative connection to the storytelling in Avalanche Software’s Hogwarts Legacy sequel. Released in 2023, Hogwarts Legacy brought every witch and wizard’s role-playing fantasy to life, thanks to the action RPG’s immersive world jostling with familiar locations, spells, and creatures for players to experience for themselves, instead of through the silver screen or J.K. Rowling’s book series.
Warner Bros. Discovery previously announced HBO’s Harry Potter television series during a press event in 2023, and this project understandably divided fans. One-half of the community thought the original live-action film series could never be replaced and that the reboot series was happening far too soon. Others were simply happy to receive more IP content to soak up. However, a portion of fans are adamant Harry Potter needs an animated spin-off before a live-action reboot, which would be a more diverse way of exploring Rowling’s world without a straight live-action reboot, similar to Hogwarts Legacy’s feat.
