Greater than twenty years after directing his personal Harry Potter motion pictures, Chris Columbus is displaying pleasure for the upcoming sequence.
You’re a wizard, Harry! However Chris Columbus is merely a muggle director and so can solely pull out a lot magic. With that, he may solely embody a lot from J.Okay. Rowling’s books into his Harry Potter motion pictures. That’s simply what the upcoming Harry Potter TV sequence hopes to keep away from – and Chris Columbus is all in.
Talking with Folks, Chris Columbus stated that the thought of a Harry Potter sequence – during which the writers can really dive into the wizarding world, leaving no thinker’s stone unturned – is ideal, as it could keep away from a number of the trappings he fell into. “I think it’s a spectacular idea, because there’s a certain restriction when you’re making a film,” noting that his two Harry Potter motion pictures – Sorcerer’s Stone and Chamber of Secrets and techniques – have been “only” two and a half hours. “The fact that they have the leisure of [multiple] episodes for each book, I think that’s fantastic.You can get all the stuff in the series that we didn’t have an opportunity to do…all these great scenes that we just couldn’t put in the films…I look forward to seeing what they’re trying to do with it. I think it’s great.”
Perhaps it’s as a result of I by no means learn all the sequence, however I by no means felt that any of Chris Columbus’ Harry Potter motion pictures – or any of them, for that matter – have been incomplete. There might need been some lacking characters and subplots, however if you happen to didn’t know that getting into then there’s actually no hurt to that viewer. In fact, those that helped the books fly off the cabinets (some experiences put the quantity as excessive as 600 million for all the sequence).
Whereas Chris Columbus has beforehand expressed curiosity in returning to the Harry Potter franchise, he isn’t hooked up to the TV sequence. As an alternative, he’ll have to take a seat again with the remainder of us when the primary season debuts in 2026. The thought proper now’s for the present to run for 10 years, which doesn’t precisely match the “one book per season” idea that was being tossed round. Nevertheless it does give followers constant time at Hogwarts that they haven’t gotten in years.
