For years, there has been speculation about the possibility of Harry Potter and the Cursed Child coming to the big screen, and now, new reports suggest that Warner Bros. may finally be moving forward with a film adaptation of the hit stage play. While no official confirmation has been given, sources close to the studio hint that active talks are underway, with the hopes of reuniting the original Harry Potter cast.
Rumors suggest that Warner Bros. is eager to bring back Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, and Rupert Grint to reprise their iconic roles as Harry, Hermione, and Ron. However, it remains uncertain whether Radcliffe, in particular, would return, as he previously expressed his reluctance to reprise his role so soon.
A source reportedly stated, “The studio knows that fans have been asking for this for years, and they believe the time is right to bring ‘Cursed Child’ to life in a new way.” The same source hinted that talks are also underway with director David Yates, who helmed the last four Harry Potter films, though other filmmakers including Alfonso Cuarón are also rumored to be in consideration.
