David Zaslav’s new approach with Warner Bros. Discovery and the direction he wants to take the studios in as CEO includes a focus on Harry Potter movies. This project includes a series of two films revolving around the game scenario of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child. It seemed to have been on Zaslav’s mind for a while now, especially since it was an idea floated by Toby Emmerich.
However, this idea was rejected by JK Rowling when it was first put forward. The CEO’s idea of adapting the novel into a series of films led WBD to receive a lot of backlash, asking him to reconsider and that while Rowling herself is in a controversial position at the moment, she may have to be right.

CEO David Zaslav’s focus on Harry Potter and the Cursed Child came to light properly with its differentiation from The Fantastic Beasts Trilogy as not being Harry Potter movies at all. In addition to the emphasis placed by Warner Bros. Discovery on franchises, especially on the DC Universe, studios moved from one JK Rowling project to another, even though Zaslav said WBD didn’t do any Harry Potter film over the past fifteen years. Contradictory to the fact that Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part 2 he just happens to be eleven years old.
Harry Potter and the Cursed Child is the story of a future wizarding world following the characters of Albus Severus Potter and Scorpius Malfoy, sons of Harry Potter and Draco Malfoy. The book and the play see their unlikely friendship sprout and grow stronger as they join forces to unite against their common enemy, Lord Voldermort and Bellatrix Lestrange’s daughter, Delphini, or as she passes through the book at the beginning, Delphi Diggory. A character very much in the gray area, but her motivations for bringing her father back from the dead in order to meet him leads the two friends to defeat her.
Initially, what was advertised as a play was later released in a script-formatted novel for people around the world to experience the new adventure of Harry Potter and the lives of his loved ones. When an idea to turn this story into a live-action project arose, JK Rowling rejected the proposal, wanting the book to remain intact.

Fans agreed with JK Rowling that they didn’t want a Harry Potter and the Cursed Child duology
When David Zaslav first revealed his intentions to adapt Harry Potter and the Cursed Child, social media fans rallied to oppose the idea. Seeing the criticisms and criticisms that the fantastic beasts franchise had to go through, lowering fan expectations with each new episode that was released, initiating another world-turning film of The Chosen One is very much against the public.

It was the first sane thing JKR has done for her franchise since she finished writing Deathly Hallows and this guy wants to undo it… my god, Hollywood is gonna dry up everything that was once good because of their lack of creativity, is not it .
