According to The Hollywood Reporter, Waner Bros. Pictures are in talks to turn Harry Potter and the Cursed Child into a film or a series of movies. Following a recent conference hosted by WarnerMedia CEO Jason Kilar, the news outlet reported that "There's talk Warner Bros. could be developing a new tentpole based on the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child stage play."
There's currently no word just yet on whether or not Harry Potter and the Cursed Child would be adapted into a standalone movie or a franchise of multiple movies like the original Harry Potter movies. It's also unclear if Warner Bros. are hoping to use the original Harry Potter cast or find a new set of actors to play Harry, Ron, Hermione and the other characters.
Earlier this year (Jan 25), Variety reported that: "A Harry Potter series is in very early development at HBO Max.", so it seems like Potterheads are gonna get lots more Harry Potter content in the coming years.
