Warner Bros. Discovery Inc. is reportedly about to close a deal for a new web series. After massive hits like Batman, Superman etc., Warner Bros. is reportedly eyeing a web series of JK Rowling’s Harry Potter. If the deal works out, the new web series may also air on HBO.

The report adds that the Harry Potter web series may also allow viewers to further delve into the world of JK Rowling’s books. The move becomes strategic as even before this, Warner Bros., that is a part of the same media as HBO, also turned all seven books into hit movies.
As far as JK Rowling’s role is concerned, the author is reportedly expected to be an active part of the Harry Potter web series in order to ensure that everything remains loyal to her originally written matter.
Recently, HBO has been making headlines as its famous shows like Game of Thrones, House of Dragon etc., also left Disney+Hotstar with the ending of the partnership. Since HBO left the streaming giant, Indian audience too, has been wondering how to watch HBO shows.
