After it seems clear that the Fantastic Beasts will apparently no longer be found in cinemas in the future, the media empire Warner Bros. Discovery is faced with a dilemma. While it has the third highest-grossing film franchise in the history of cinema, thanks to The Wizarding World, behind the Marvel Cinematic Universe and Star Wars, no new and much-needed blockbusters are currently being produced. The main series of novels by author JK Rowling about the wizard Harry Potter has been told.
Therefore, there is either the possibility of a reboot with new actors or the film adaptation of the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. If that were to happen, one of the three main actors would be willing to return in his role. This is despite criticizing Harry Potter author JK Rowling for her anti-trans comments in the past.
Harry Potter: JK Rowling has been criticized for his anti-trans statements
Bestselling author JK Rowling has been making transphobic statements since 2018. The creator of Harry Potter and the Wizarding World publicly positions herself against the self-determination of trans people and in this context even spoke of a danger for women, which she believes emanates from trans women.
For example, while Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes defended the author, Emma Watson (Hermione), Daniel Radcliffe (Harry) and Rupert Grint (Ron) distanced themselves and openly criticized the author JK Rowling for her trans-hostility. The latter called the creator of Harry Potter “aunt”, with whom he disagreed. In a possible new movie about Harry Potter, he would still be there.
New movie with Harry Potter: This main actor would be there again
Making the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child a movie is likely to prove complicated. Daniel Radcliffe and Emma Watson have shown little interest in reprising their roles as Harry Potter and Hermione Granger in the past.
Apparently things are different with Rupert Grint. Despite the controversy surrounding JK Rowling, he expressed interest in returning as Ron Weasley on a British talk show. “He’s a character that’s important to me. I kind of grew up with him and we’re the same person. I feel a lot of obligation and connection to him.” the British actor gives to understand.

Hogwarts Legacy offers zero innovation, but that’s totally okay
Hogwarts Legacy does absolutely nothing new in terms of gameplay, as author Annika was able to determine when playing it. But she says: That’s absolutely fine!
In a sequel to Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, he would probably be there. “I think if the timing was right and everyone came back somehow, I would definitely do it again.” Ultimately, as so often, it will probably depend on the money. A new Harry Potter movie starring the old cast certainly has the potential to be one of the most successful blockbusters of all time. You’d have to lure Harry, Hermione and Ron with a few million for that though.
