Get ready, Potterheads, because a new "Harry Potter" series based on J.K. Rowling’s beloved fantasy novels is reportedly in early development at Warner Bros. Discovery. According to a new report, the company is in talks to create a TV series based on the treasured young adult book series. While you would think this announcement would be whimsical music to longtime Wizarding World fans’ ears, that doesn’t appear to be the case. Fans have a lot of thoughts regarding the newly announced series, and let's just say they are not all in agreement.

Based on reporting verified by EW, the goal of the proposed TV series would be for each season of the show to focus on one of the seven Potter books (much like the "Harry Potter" movies did), allowing the creative team to delve into more details from the source material. While the news has excited many fans, others are approaching the announcement with mixed emotions. Some are thrilled to see their favorite wizarding world come to life o the small screen, but it would appear the fanbase has been split into three factions: those excited by the news, those concerned that the series may not live up to the high standards set by the books and the critically acclaimed previous adaptations, and others who wish they were adapting a different "Harry Potter" story altogether. Let’s take a closer look at what some members of the fanbase are saying about Warner Bros.’s proposed television adaption.
