But after the spin-off “Fantastic Beasts” series’ failure, it was uncertain whether Warner Bros. would work on another Potter project. Further, the controversy with the Wizarding World’s creator J. K. Rowling added another layer of complexity to the situation. However, things might have changed after the success of Hogwarts Legacy.

Also, the plan to adapt Hogwarts Legacy could be a way for the studio to check whether the Wizarding World is still relevant. If this video game adaptation proves to be a success, it will open doorways to many more movies and TV series based on J.K. Rowling’s magical Wizarding World.

What would be the HBO adaptation about?

If the HBO adaptation follows the game’s plot, it would be about a fifth-year Hogwarts student. The student can use ancient magic to fight evil forces like the goblin rebellion and the dark wizards. Also, the series would be set before the events of the original and the spin-off series, as the game is set in the 1800s.
