Sa phrase durant la réunion des 20ans, "Je ne serai plus là... mais Hagrid le sera", s'est réalisée bien trop vite...  

Warner Bros. Discovery souhaite se concentrer sur des franchises, incluant la possibilité de faire plus de films Harry Potter avec J.K Rowling.


"On va se concentrer sur nos franchises", a annoncé David Zaslav, PDG du groupe. "Nous n'avons pas fait de film Superman depuis 13 ans [Zaslav se trompe car Man of Steel est sorti en en 2013, soit 9 ans]. Nous n'avons pas fait de Harry Potter depuis 15 ans [Les Reliques de la Mort date de 2011, donc 11 ans]. Ces blockbusters DC et Harry Potter ont rapporté beaucoup d'argent au studio... durant ces 25 dernières années.". Il a ajouté que Warner possède toujours les droits d'adaptation au cinéma du Seigneur des Anneaux, saga qui est actuellement développée en série par Amazon.

Il ne précise pas s'il s'agira de continuer à développer Les Animaux fantastiques ou s'il pense plutôt à une série pour HBO Max. Zaslav a simplement dit : "On va voir si on peut faire quelque chose avec J.K. pour que Harry Potter aille de l'avant."

Warner Bros. Discovery Boss Wants More ‘Harry Potter’ Movies If J.K. Rowling Will Agree

David Zaslav told investors he is focused on franchises.

Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav is keen to exploit the company’s franchises — and that includes the possibility of making more Harry Potter films, if something can be worked out with author J.K. Rowling.

“We’re going to focus on franchises,” Zaslav said during an investor call Thursday. “We haven’t had a Superman movie in 13 years. We haven’t done a Harry Potter in 15 years. The DC movies and the Harry Potter movies provided a lot of the profits for Warner Bros … over the past 25 years.”

The executive went on to note the studio still has the theatrical rights to Lord of the Rings, and went back around to the idea of more Harry Potter, noting he’d like to see more “if we can do something with J.K. on Harry Potter going forward.”


It’s noteworthy that Zaslav dangled the possibility of more Potter at an investor meeting, with the venue suggesting it was more than just wishful thinking.

Warner Bros. released eight Harry Potter films from 2001 to 2011 that grossed $7.7 billion globally. It partnered with Rowling on the Fantastic Beasts franchise, which has been a case of diminishing returns at the box office. The most recent installment, Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore, debuted in April and earned $405.1 million globally. It is unclear if the studio will move forward with the two planned films to round out its five-picture arc.

In the years since Potter, Rowling has become a controversial figure and has been accused of transphobia. Star Daniel Radcliffe has been among those who have responded with support for the trans community in light of tweets and comments Rowling has made.

Zaslav’s overture to Rowling comes after there have been incidents fans interpreted as signs of tension between Warners and the author, which both sides have denied. She was not part of the recent HBO reunion special (she later said she was invited but declined). Earlier, her name was nearly entirely left off the first trailer for Secrets of Dumbledore. The studio put out a statement knocking back reports of discord: “For 20 years, Warner Bros., J.K. Rowling and her team have worked together to delight fans around the world with spectacular storytelling and the magic of the Wizarding World.”

Rowling worked on the play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, which debuted in 2016. Chris Columbus, the filmmaker behind the very first Potter, has expressed interest in directing an adaptation.

J'avoue craindre un peu ce qu'ils vont faire, surtout s'ils souhaitent se focaliser plus sur Harry Potter que le monde des sorciers (Les Animaux Fantastiques n'ayant pas eu le succès espéré). En soit, j'aimerais bien une adaptation en animation des Contes de Beedle le Barde (le Conte des trois frères dans Les Reliques de la Mort était sublime). Mais qu'ils laissent L'Enfant Maudit dans un tiroir abandonné...

J'aimerais bien une série sur les Elfes.

D'ailleurs s'ils pouvaient faire ça sans certains acteurs bien ingrats (et bien mal informés) envers JK.

Ralph Fiennes déclare qu'il reprendrait "sans hésitation" le rôle de Voldemort, si Warner Bros. ou JK Rowling le lui demandait.

Voldemort Returns? Ralph Fiennes Would Play ‘Harry Potter’ Villain Again: ‘No Question About It’

After Warner Bros. Discovery chief David Zaslav mentioned the possibility of working with J.K. Rowling on more “Harry Potter” content, Voldemort actor Ralph Fiennes expressed his interest in reprising his villainous role in the Wizarding World.

“Sure, of course,” Fiennes told Variety when asked if he wants to play Voldemort again. If Warner Bros. or Rowling called him to join future “Harry Potter” projects, Fiennes said he would jump right in: “No question about it.”

Fiennes spoke with Variety on the red carpet at the New York premiere of “The Menu,” in which he plays madman celebrity chef Julian Slowik, who prepares an elaborate fine dining experience with some unexpected twists.

Fiennes first appeared as He Who Shall Not Be Named in the fourth “Harry Potter” film, 2005’s “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire,” and returned for three additional movies — “Order of the Phoenix” and “Deathly Hallows” Part 1 and 2.

Last month, the actor defended Rowling against “verbal abuse” and death threats directed at the “Harry Potter” author for her outspoken beliefs about biological sex and trans people.

“J.K. Rowling has written these great books about empowerment, about young children finding themselves as human beings,” Fiennes told The New York Times. “It’s about how you become a better, stronger, more morally centered human being. The verbal abuse directed at her is disgusting, it’s appalling.”

Fiennes continued, “I mean, I can understand a viewpoint that might be angry at what she says about women. But it’s not some obscene, über-right-wing fascist. It’s just a woman saying, ‘I’m a woman and I feel I’m a woman and I want to be able to say that I’m a woman.’ And I understand where she’s coming from. Even though I’m not a woman.”

Rowling drew backlash in June 2020 when she posted a series of tweets in which she argued that discussing gender identity negates biological sex. “If sex isn’t real, there’s no same-sex attraction,” the author wrote. “If sex isn’t real, the lived reality of women globally is erased. I know and love trans people, but erasing the concept of sex removes the ability of many to meaningfully discuss their lives.” Rowling continued to double down on her position in the years that followed.

In response to Rowling’s comments, “Harry Potter” star Daniel Radcliffe penned an open letter that reads, “Transgender women are women. Any statement to the contrary erases the identity and dignity of transgender people and goes against all advice given by professional health care associations who have far more expertise on this subject matter than either Jo or I.”

“The Menu” premieres in theaters on Nov. 18 from Searchlight Pictures.

J'aimerais tellement qu'ils fassent une suite aux Animaux Fantastiques pour voir le duel légendaire entre Grindelwald et Dumbledore... Au moins avoir un autre duel du niveau du 5 entre Dumbledore et Voldemort, c'était incroyable.
