The Harry Potter universe is at a dead end according to many fans. According to a rumour, a complete reboot with completely new actors:inside will help.
The Wizarding World of the Harry Potter franchise is stumbling as a cinematic universe. Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Mysteries ended in a box office flop and J.K. Rowling’s comments continue to cause irritation among fans and stars. As a solution, the Harry Potter series could be completely rebooted.
Rumour: Harry Potter returns to the big screen – but not with Daniel Radcliffe
This is now being reported by rumoured Twitter user WDW Pro, who is a leaker citing inside sources at production studio Warner.
Exclusive Leak:
WBD is reportedly looking to reboot the Harry Potter film franchise, including recasting, in the next 3-5 years.
We will release some details of how I became aware of this information, presented by a source, on the @ValliantRenegad channel tomorrow morning.

Accordingly, the Harry Potter reboot is set to open in cinemas in “three to five years”. According to WDW Pro’s YouTube channel Valliant Renegade, the cast will be completely new. There are no plans to reunite with Daniel Radcliffe or Emma Watson.
So far, however, this is nothing more than an unconfirmed rumour. Nevertheless, it is not improbable. To many fans of the first hour, it will seem as if Warner has manoeuvred itself into a dead end with the Fantastic Beasts films of late.
When are the new Harry Potter films coming to the cinema?
According to rumour, we can apparently expect the Harry Potter reboot to begin between early 2026 and 2028. How many films are to come and who will replace Radcliffe, Watson and Co. is not yet clear. Whether the rumour is true or not remains to be seen. But it is a fact that Warner wants to continue the Harry Potter series in some form. This was confirmed by CEO David Zaslav.
