"Harry Potter" stars to reunite for 20th anniversary special

It's in the very early stages, but talks are underway on remaking Harry Potter, this time as a television show.

Each book would be one whole season; think "A Song of Ice and Fire" and "His Dark Materials" series.

Talks have been in the background for a series for some time, but reports say Warner Bros. is now closer to reaching a deal with Harry Potter author J.K Rowling.

If it comes to fruition, the show would be on HBO Max, and Rowling would serve as executive producer.

The show would adapt the original books directly, not a spinoff such as the Fantastic Beasts series.

Arguments in favour of the show say a whole season dedicated to a book would give it more justice and allow a lot more detail.

Plus, with seven novels to re-tell, it's a chance for a whole new set of talent to bring these characters to life.
