    Report: WB Considering R-Rated Harry Potter Movie, Emma Watson Nearing Deal to Return

    Warner Bros. Pictures

    Coming from the same tipster, the unconfirmed tidbits, however, do not mention if the Hermione Granger depicter is entering talks for the said planned R-rated project.

    Apr 1, 2021

    AceShowbiz –
    “Harry Potter” could be back on the big screen as an adults-only movie. Almost ten years since the last installment in the film series hit theaters worldwide, it’s now reported that there are talks to reboot the franchise as R-rated project.

    A so-called insider, Daniel Richtman, shared the unconfirmed tidbit on Patreon (via We Got This Covered), though no other details are available now. The report should be taken with a grain of salt, since the same tipster previously also touted potential R-ratings for Robert Downey Jr.’s “Sherlock Holmes 3”, multiple MCU projects, “Star Wars”, “Transformers”, “Star Trek”, the DCEU, Tom Holland’s “Spider-Man” movie and Tim Burton’s “The Addams Family”, but none of them have been proven to be true.

    The same source additionally reports that Emma Watson is currently in talks to return for a new Harry Potter movie. The British actress is allegedly close to signing on to reprise her role as Hermione Granger in a spin-off centering on her character. It, however, is unclear if the Hermione-centric spin-off is the same “Harry Potter” project that is touted to be R-rated.

    While Warner Bros. has never officially announced plan to reboot the “Harry Potter” franchise, the studio has already had a spin-off prequel series based on characters in J.K. Rowling’s wizarding world novels. “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, the first of the five-film series, was released in 2016, with Eddie Redmayne leading the cast as magizoologist Newt Scamander.

    A box office success after grossing $814 million worldwide, it’s followed by its sequel, “Fantastic Beasts: The Crimes of Grindelwald”, which was released in 2018 and raked in a total of $655 globally. While it’s the lowest-grossing Wizarding World installment to-date, the studio still moves forward with its plans for a third movie, which has been filmed since late 2020.

    Meanwhile, WB and HBO recently put to rest rumors that stated they’re developing a live-action “Harry Potter” TV spin-off series. In a joint statement issued to TheWrap, they insisted, “There are no ‘Harry Potter’ series in development at the studio or on the streaming platform.”

      J.K. Rowling Came Up With Harry Potter Story While on Train

      by

      WENN

      The best-selling author in history sets the record straight on the internet chatters regarding the birthplace of her hugely popular wizarding book series.
      May 23, 2020
      AceShowbiz – J.K. Rowling has torpedoed multiple fan theories suggesting she came up with the idea for Harry Potter at a cafe in Edinburgh, Scotland.
      The author took to social media this week to clear up rumours about the birth of her stories about the boy wizard and his friends, revealing she only started writing them down in The Elephant House.
      “I was thinking of putting a section on my website about all the alleged inspirations and birthplaces of Potter,” she wrote on Twitter. “I’d been writing Potter for several years before I ever set foot in this cafe, so it’s not the birthplace, but I did write in there, so we’ll let them off!”
      Rowling went on to reveal she first scribbled down her ideas about Potter’s wizarding world in London, adding, “I was renting a room in a flat over what was then a sports shop. The first bricks of Hogwarts were laid in a flat in Clapham Junction.”
      “If you define the birthplace of Harry Potter as the moment when I had the initial idea, then it was a Manchester-London train. I’m perennially amused by the idea that Hogwarts was directly inspired by beautiful places I saw or visited, because it’s so far from the truth.”
      Rowling published “The Philosopher’s Stone”, the first book from the sensationally popular novel series-turned-film franchise, in 1997.
      The author has also shared a picture of a bookshop in Porto, Portugal, and responds to the owners’ claims that it was an inspiration for Harry Potter.
      “I never visited this bookshop in Oporto,” she states. “Never even knew of its existence! It’s beautiful and I wish I had visited it, but it has nothing to do with Hogwarts!”
