The first trailer for the Harry Potter reboot is here! Fans are welcomed back to the Wizarding World in the upcoming prestige series from HBO.
Fans have long been dreading the release of the first trailer for the Harry Potter series. A reboot of any franchise has an uphill battle. However, add on how truly massive the film series was, how high the bar is set for quality, and the countless controversies of its creator…basically anyone who cares enough about the series to keep a tab on this show was preparing themselves for a belly flop of cosmic proportions.
Yet now that long-feared day has finally arrived. The first trailer for the Harry Potter reboot is here, bringing fans back into the Wizarding World. There’s no denying that the series looks gorgeous, taking cues from how the Universal theme parks managed to bring the franchise to life as it expands the world of magic and mischief onto the small screen.
The Future Of The Harry Potter Reboot
Regardless of if one considers the trailer to be a good or bad showing, the reboot has some major hurdles to overcome to be a success. The Harry Potter series is shaping up to be one of the most expensive shows in history, with reports suggesting each episode will cost around $100 million. This isn’t even to count pre-production costs, such as fabricating the Hogwarts and Hogsmeade sets.
The series is also eyeing a 7 season run, which would total into the multiples of billions if it all played out as planned. As such, the first season of this reboot can’t just be a hit – it needs to be one of the biggest things HBO has ever released. However, given the current streaming landscape and the reputation of the Harry Potter franchise, it’s hard to imagine a world where that’s the case.
Stay tuned for the latest news regarding the Harry Potter reboot and the future of the Wizarding World franchise.
