I don’t see how they are going to do a series off the books. I have read the books and seen the movies. Enjoyed them both. The first few books ( movies) are aimed for kids. Not until Goblet does it start to get older and darker ( more interesting).
Just don’t see how an audience will wait a week to see what happens next when the material has been out for nearly 20 years.
Would be like Disney+ making a series for the Star Wars OT with a new Han, Luke, and Leia. No thank you.

I mean, there’s diehard Potterheads out there that will support it and make it worth it for HBO. But you can really make the argument as to why people would show up for a lot of media.
LOTR has been out for ages. Why would anyone want to go watch that in theaters? Why would anyone want to watch the original HP movies? Why would people want to watch the MCU when they’re based on stories that have already happened decades before. I think it’s too soon but I think this was inevitable. If the series had come out 5-10 years ago, the movies never would have been made. A 8-10 episode series covering each book makes way more sense and will include a lot of things that were cut from 3-7

It's called nostalgia.
A lot of the people who grew up reading the books now have children. While the movies are certainly out there, it will be very satisfying to a lot of these Potter fans to be able to sit down with their children week-to-week watching a new adaptation of the books they grew up loving.
