In a thrilling development for fans of the Wizarding World, Warner Bros. is set to expand the Harry Potter universe with an upcoming TV series that will intricately tie into a sequel of the wildly popular video game, *Hogwarts Legacy*. According to a recent report from Variety, the success of *Hogwarts Legacy*, which became the top-selling game of 2023 with over 30 million units sold, has inspired Warner Bros. to prioritize this sequel as a key project for the future of the franchise.
The synergy between the new Harry Potter TV series and the *Hogwarts Legacy* sequel is designed to create a cohesive narrative that will captivate fans across multiple platforms. David Haddad, president of Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, highlighted the excitement within the company about the potential of this collaboration, stating, “The rest of the company was very curious about what we helped to unlock with ‘Hogwarts Legacy’ last year.”
While J.K. Rowling is not directly involved in the day-to-day management of the franchise, Warner Bros. Discovery ensures that she remains informed through her literary agent. Robert Oberschelp, the head of global consumer products, emphasized the importance of maintaining a respectful dialogue regarding the canon of the series, saying, “If we’re going to ever go beyond a canon conversation, we make sure that we’re all comfortable with what we’re doing.”
This strategic move by Warner Bros. reflects their commitment to delivering authentic experiences that resonate with the dedicated Harry Potter fanbase. As the Wizarding World continues to evolve, fans can look forward to a rich tapestry of stories that span games, television, and beyond.
