At least one live-action “Harry Potter” TV show is reportedly in the very early stages of development. 

While Warner Bros. and

HBO Max
have denied any show is underway, WB exec Tom Ascheim was recently promoted to oversee and expand the Harry Potter franchise. 

Even if the studio isn’t actively seeking any shows or spinoffs momentarily, WB will almost certainly be considering them in the future.
