Peter Serafinowicz joins the Harry Potter series
HBO’s adaptation, which is planned as a seven-season spectacular, has always intended to go “deeper” than the films, as each season tackles a novel from JK Rowling’s epic book series.“The scope of the production, the detail, the rigor of what’s being lived and what’s built takes theater to another level,” JB Perrette, WBD’s president of global streaming and gaming, said last year.“And so when you think about the love of that franchise and what you can do in a series — you can go deeper, you can tell more stories, you can tell more pieces that you didn’t capture in a two-hour movie … I really think this is the streaming event of the decade,” Perrett said, according to Variety .
