About time WB produces more Harry Potter movies and shows! Harry Potter is the Star Wars of WB,potentially even better,looking at how Star Wars fallen after the Sequel Trilogy...but look at what Disney is doing with Star Wars! A lot of products. So WB should do it too. I think HP is the biggest WB franchise,even bigger than DC. While in Disney Marvel is clearly bigger than Star Wars right now.

What they ought to do is produce some TV streaming shows in the Wizarding universe, maybe remake the whole shebang as a miniseries lasting 7 or 8 years, with a new child cast. None of the original cast grew up to be the most charismatic adult actors, I can't say I'm aching to see more of them, I think a remake with more time and detail would be a better product.

If that's a hit, start with the spin-off shows. Personally, I'd like to see a spin-off show set int he 1940s, with Dumbledore, McGonnagal, and Arabella Figg fighting Grindlewald and the Nazis. And yes, I know Mrs. Figg is a squib, but my idea for a fan fiction series that I never got around to writing is that she's a top-level spy, because even though she can't do real magic she can still talk to cats or see through their eyes. She uses common house cats to find out all sorts of secrets...
