We Think The “Harry Potter” TV Reboot Should Have These Storylines – Do You Agree?
If you’re a Harry Potter fan, we’re sure you’re aware that rumours of a TV series have been floating around for a while, but it looks like the adaptation is now closer than ever.
While we’ve not had final confirmation yet, according to Bloomberg, Warner Bros. Discovery Inc is close to securing a deal for the HBO series.
With the prospect of a series so close on the horizon, we thought we’d take a look at some of the storylines that didn’t make it into the movies, but deserve their moment on screen, and we wanna know if you agree!

Harry’s childhood with the Dursleys
Warner Bros.There’s no denying that Hagrid’s an international man of mystery. He’s had a lot happen to him from adopting an array of secret pets, to conducting illegal magic, not to mention being framed for murder! He was a huge part of all of the books, so getting to know him on a deeper level is longgggg overdue.
The story of the Marauders
Warner Bros.How did they become animagi? How did they make the map? Why were they friends with Wormtail? There are so many questions – the Marauder gang could probably do with their own spinoff, tbh.
The dark and tragic backstory of the Longbottoms
Warner Bros.We know they were a big part of The Order of the Phoenix, but we need the receipts! What did they do, why were they tortured so horrendously, what was Neville’s childhood like? Come on!
Speaking of which, the series would need to explore the full reasons behind Voldemort picking Harry as The Chosen One, instead of Neville.
Warner Bros.Can you imagine hearing Trelawney say the prophecy for the first time, and then watching Voldemort’s inner torment as he tries to work out which baby to kill?
And we should learn more about the students at Durmstrang and Beauxbatons, especially Victor Krum.
Warner Bros.
We know he’s the main character, but it should by no means be the Harry show all the time. We deserve to see more than just Fleur failing the challenge and Victor making Ron jealous. Krum was a World Cup quidditch player – that alone warrants a storyline!
The Half-blood Prince
Warner Bros.This was a HUGE part of the plot and it was downplayed in the movie, to say the least. Don’t you want a season-long dual plot weaving between young Severus mixing shit up, while the golden trio try to figure out his true identity?
The Order of the Phoenix: The Early Years
Warner Bros.I think we can definitely do with a cheeky little deep-pe into how The Order of the Phoenix was formed, what each member was like as a young adult, and what they got up to as a group.
And a flashback to The First Wizarding War
Warner Bros.You’ve read about it, but don’t you want to see it?
Ariana Dumbledore’s story
Warner Bros.I know that Fantastic Beasts is already delving into the story of Grindelwald and Dumbledore, but I want at least three hour-long episodes about Ariana’s tragic life. #justiceforariana
Aunt Petunia and her howlers
Warner Bros.Petunia’s an unlikeable character, to put it like lightly, but no one can deny that she’s somewhat of a closed book. You may recall Petunia getting a howler from Dumbledore that said: “Remember my last.” What was his last?! We need to know!
Percy’s betrayal
Warner Bros.Percy Weasley is actually a much more rich and nuanced character than the films give him credit for. Percy picking his allegiance to the Ministry over his own family was a super dramatic and confusing event, and it would definitely benefit from being fully explored across a few episodes.
Draco’s moral turmoil
Warner Bros.Malfoy really is the tragic antihero of the Harry Potter films, and with parents like his, he didn’t really stand a chance, did he? We can’t be the only two people who want to see what he went through after he was given the task to kill Dumbledore.
Voldemort’s family history
Warner Bros.Who remembers Merope Gaunt? The sixth book contains all of this spectacular character development and backstory about Merope, Tom Riddle Sr., and Voldemort, which is ripe for on-screen adaptation!
Peter Pettigrew’s dark journey toward Voldemort
Warner Bros.It could be awesome to explore how Peter went from James, Remus, and Sirius’s fawning friend to Voldemort’s grovelling manservant. Also, you know his path to evil wouldn’t be complete without that terrible death at the hands of… his own hand.
What storylines do you want to see in the TV show? Let us know in the comments!
