Buckle up, Harry Potter fans. Just when you thought you were safe from Hollywood's recent obsession with rebooting, remaking, and redoing — you've been selected as the next fandom to (potentially) endure this fate.
Recently, The Hollywood Reporter announced that Warner Bros. is potentially looking to revive the Harry Potter franchise, as long as author J.K. Rowling is on board.
Are we really paying film companies millions of dollars for them to just take our beloved franchises and ruin them one by one?!
Because that's what we all want, right?
He went on to explain that they'd like to "do something with J.K. on Harry Potter going forward.”
Not only is it a bad idea to reboot a film franchise that is so beloved, but J.K Rowling is now regarded as one of the most controversial public figures in Hollywood.
As per the Hollywood Reporter, Warner Bros. grossed a whopping $7.7 billion globally from the release of eight Harry Potter films from 2001 to 2011.
Sometimes, it's best to just leave things the way they are and let the fans keep the happy memories without ruining them with spin-offs, reboots, and remakes.
