HBO Max launched last year and is the home all of the company’s most valuable intellectual property.

The plans for a Harry Potter TV series should be seen as a rightful extension of the property at a time when WarnerMedia (like other conglomerates) is prioritizing its streaming service.

Warners also has the Fantastic Beasts prequel series of films, with the third set to bow next year and two more likely to come afterward. Rowling’s seven-book series was adapted as eight feature films that grossed more than $7 billion worldwide. News that talks are under way for a Harry Potter TV series should come as no surprise given the value of the franchise to Warner Bros.
