The director of the first two Harry Potter movies, Chris Columbus, openly stated that the only way the franchise could continue would be an adaptation of the stage play Harry Potter & the Cursed Child. Since the play has already proven very popular, it's only natural that fans would want a glimpse into the HP trio's lives after the Second Wizarding War. An adaptation of the show would most likely grab the attention of many fans who were perhaps unable to see the production live and had lớn be nội dung with reading the screenplay alone. Here's everything that's known about a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie.
The Latest Harry Potter và The Cursed Child Movie News
The best Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie news comes from Warner Bros. Recent announcement that they want to lớn expand the Wizarding World franchise. Thanks lớn the resounding success of the Hogwarts Legacy video game, Warner Bros. Has been paying close attention to lớn the wider Wizarding World and its potential. Development on any new Harry Potter projects has been kept tightly under wraps, but with renewed interest in the world of HP, it's highly likely that the next addition to lớn the franchise could be a Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie. Warner Bros. Discovery CFO Gunnar Wiedenfels said the following (via Variety):
Take Harry Potter as an example, the Wizarding World, the fact that we are enjoying this massive success with the Hogwarts Legacy launch, 12 years after the last film came out, shows that there is so much opportunity & we're only just starting lớn expand that. We've got the new Harry Potter tour coming up in Tokyo in the middle of the year. Long story short, I think this one-company approach, great leadership in the individual business units, but coordinated franchise management is probably one of the biggest opportunities the company has.
Outside of Chris Columbus' interest in making a Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie, there has been no news regarding Warner Bros. Taking on the project. Movie director Chris Columbus first mentioned his interest in making a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie during a 2021 interview (via Variety). The interview itself was for a special 20th-anniversary celebration of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone. Columbus stated "I would love khổng lồ direct “The Cursed Child.” It’s a great play và the kids are actually the right age to play those roles. It’s a small fantasy of mine."
While it's true that the Harry Potter trio of Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, và Rupert Grint may be an appropriate age lớn play their adult counterparts, the entirety of this Chris Columbus fantasy hinges on whether or not the cast wants lớn return. A Cursed Child movie simply wouldn't be the same without the original cast, but it's possible that Warner Bros. Would agree to a film without them. Regardless, it seems lượt thích anything new in this franchise won't include the Fantastic Beasts franchise.
As of now, a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie has not been confirmed. While J. K. Rowling and Warner Bros. Have both denied that a Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie would ever happen, Kilar's remarks rekindled old rumors. Couple that with the fact Warner Bros. Has announced they are looking khổng lồ expand the Harry Potter universe, and it's quite possible that a Harry Potter & the Cursed Child movie could be in the works at some point.
Since nothing has been confirmed by either Warner Bros. Or J.K. Rowling, there is no way to lớn predict when a Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie might be released. However, an adaptation of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is not entirely out of the question. Bringing back Watson, Radcliffe, and Grint could tempt fans into giving new Potter content a chance. Whether Chris Columbus can live out his fantasy by making Harry Potter and the Cursed Child or some other new content, the idea could hinge on whether the original HP trio wants lớn make a return & how Warner Bros. Plans to lớn expand.

While recasting the beloved original cast for the future of the Harry Potter franchise in a Harry Potter & the Cursed Child movie would prove a challenging endeavor, the studio might have khổng lồ for story continuity. The characters are older in the play; Harry, Ron, and Hermione are in their late 30s when the story takes place. The original three actors are all in their early 30s, still a bit too young to convincingly be just a stone's throw away from 40. However, should the studio decide lớn adapt the play sometime in the future, they need only wait a few years for their original trio to lớn fit the roles.
Out of all the Harry Potter actors, Tom Felton is the most likely khổng lồ return without question. In an interview (via People), Felton displayed nothing but positivity about the possibility of returning to lớn the Malfoy family after Harry Potter ended: "Any chance to lớn be a Malfoy again would be greatly accepted." He also states that the idea of someone else filling the role of minor antagonist Draco Malfoy would be hard lớn swallow, as he feels a bit of (rightful) ownership over how he shaped the character over the course of a decade.
The other members of the Harry Potter cast haven't been as forthcoming about the prospect of reprising their respective roles. Emma Watson has basically stated that she isn't really ready to lớn be Hermione again, while Rupert Grint và Bonnie Wright are only willing lớn return if everyone else does. Matthew Lewis will come back, but only if the storyline is worthwhile & not nostalgic for nostalgia's sake. Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe, has the most surprising answer out of all the cast.
Daniel Radcliffe won't be returning for a Harry Potter và The Cursed Child movie. Out of the entire cast, Radcliffe has been the most adamant about the fact that he's not ready to lớn jump back into his titular role yet. It's understandable, given that Harry Potter's the Boy Who Lived had a slow start in terms of Daniel Radcliffe's career outside of Harry Potter and has only just begun to lớn shed the persona as a whole. The idea was brought up to lớn the actor during an interview (via The thủ đô new york Times).
Radcliffe responded khổng lồ the idea with "I'm getting to a point where I feel lượt thích I made it out of Potter okay, & I'm really happy with where I am now,". He then went on to compare his role to that of Mark Hamill as Luke Skywalker và Harrison Ford as Han Solo, basically saying that they were allowed at least 30 years before returning khổng lồ their defining parts. This should at least give hope to audiences that while Daniel Radcliffe doesn't want lớn make a Harry Potter & the Cursed Child movie any time soon, he could still be mở cửa to it in the future.
Set 19 years later after the ending of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child movie begins with 37-year-old parents Harry, Ron, & Hermione seeing their children off khổng lồ Hogwarts at Platform 9 3/4. The play continues Harry Potter’s story through his son, Albus, following Albus Severus Potter as he uncovers secrets from his father’s past in a time-travel adventure.
On top of the original phối of characters in the Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie, the play also features Draco Malfoy’s son Scorpius, Hermione và Ron’s daughter Rose, as well as Voldemort and Bellatrix Lestrange’s surprise offspring Delphi. The time-travel aspect of the play could make for a very engaging movie or TV series, both for loyal Potter fans and new audiences, by exploring much of the original story through a fresh lens.
In April 2023 news broke that Warner Bros. Và HBO were close khổng lồ securing a development giảm giá khuyến mãi on a Harry Potter TV series. If it goes ahead, the new Harry Potter show will be a reboot of the original Harry Potter books. If WB. Is planning khổng lồ reboot the Wizarding World và tell the original tales anew, this raises questions about a potential Cursed Child movie. Especially one that follows on directly from the original Harry Potter movies and the epilogue laid out in The Deathly Hallows Part 2.
However, rebooting the Harry Potter movies as a TV series doesn't mean Harry Potter and the Cursed Child will never make it lớn screens. The movie still hasn't been confirmed, và renewed interest in the Wizarding World could make a Cursed Child film more, rather than less, likely. There's also every possibility it could emerge years down the line as a show of its own if HBO's Harry Potter venture is successful. In any case, while there's not been much movement on a Harry Potter và the Cursed Child movie, there's still much to lớn look forward khổng lồ from the Wizarding World.
