We haven\u2019t done a Harry Potter in 15 years. The DC movies and the Harry Potter movies provided a lot of the profits for Warner Bros. \u2026over the past 25 years.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Zaslav mentioned that the studio owns the rights to \u201cLord of the Rings\u201d and \u201cHarry Potter,\u201d so they\u2019d like to expand on those franchises, \u201cif we can do something with J.K. on \u2018Harry Potter\u2019 going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Warner Bros\u2019 eight-movie \u201cHarry Potter\u201d franchise earned $7.7 billion in box office revenue from 2001 to 2011. The studio has also worked with Rowling on the spinoff series \u201cFantastic Beasts.\u201d THR noted that the most recent film, \u201cThe Secrets of Dumbledore,\u201d earned more than $405 million following its April premiere.<\/p>\n<p>Rowling has become very controversial in the public sphere thanks to her stance on the trans agenda and her willingness to speak against it. The author has had many actors from the film franchise and former colleagues <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/j-k-rowling-vs-the-trans-agenda-heres-what-harry-potter-cast-members-have-said-about-the-ongoing-battle\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">turn on her<\/a> because of her views.<\/p>\n<p>Most recently, the author was not part of a \u201cHarry Potter\u201d reunion special, which premiered in January of this year. Rowling said \u201cno one said don\u2019t come,\u201d but she still chose not to participate in \u201cHarry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYeah, I was asked to be on that and I decided I didn\u2019t want to do it,\u201d she said during a podcast <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=HdKPOwCR_sg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">interview<\/a> at the time. \u201cI thought it was about the films more than the books, you know, quite rightly. I mean, that was what the anniversary was about.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>By that point, many of the younger stars had been distancing themselves from Rowling amid the trans rights controversy, saying they disagreed with her stance. Daniel Radcliffe recently reiterated his position.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe reason I was felt very, very much as though I needed to say something when I did was because, particularly since finishing \u2018Potter,\u2019 I\u2019ve met so many queer and trans kids and young people who had a huge amount of identification with Potter on that,\u201d Radcliffe told IndieWire during an interview.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Warner Bros. exec confirmed that he would like to start making more popular franchise movies, including \u201cHarry Potter,\u201d and mentioned he wants series creator J.K.
