According to Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, the upcoming "Potter" series will not impede the development of any other projects within the Wizarding World franchise.

Despite the new series, fans need not worry about the original movies disappearing from streaming platforms. Warner Bros. Discovery has confirmed that the films will still be available to watch globally, alongside the new series.

The author of the Harry Potter novels JK Rowling will be one of the executive producers. She has been the subject of controversy in recent years due to her comments about the transgender community, which have been widely criticised. Despite this, her involvement in the new series is sure to excite fans who remain devoted to her magical universe.

The new series is part of Warner Bros. Discovery's ambitious plans for Max, which aims to compete with the likes of Netflix and Disney+. In addition to the Harry Potter series, the streaming service will also feature content from other popular franchises like Game of Thrones, Friends, and the DC Universe.
