The fans of “Harry Potter” have been eagerly waiting for supplies in the cinemas for many years. But even the last hope is now receiving a severe setback.
“Fantastic Beasts: Dumbledore’s Secrets” was released in theaters two years ago now. Although there were repeated reports about the cancellation of the film series from the “Harry Potter” universe, many fans had not completely given up hope for a sequel. Now there is finally a sign of life again – but by no means a good one.
Will there be a Fantastic Beasts 4?
While the preparations for the live action series of “Harry Potter” currently running at full speed and even already Casting for the most important roles is underwaythings looked much bleaker for Hogwarts fans on the film front for a long time.
It was all the more surprising that actor Eddie Redmayne recently joined one Interview with Comicbook.com magazine about a possible future for “Fantastic Beasts”. Redmayne took on the role of Newt Scamander in each of the three films released so far. His statements about his possible comeback are likely to bring tears to the eyes of many fans.
“I assume we won’t see any more of Newt. Yes, that was a very open answer. At least that's what I know. You'd have to talk to the people at Warner Bros. and JK Rowling. But as far as I know, that was it,” it says.
Redmayne did raise the prospect that Newt Scamander's character could make a small comeback elsewhere. But he was only referring to the new Universal Epic Universe theme park, which will open its doors in May 2025. There visitors can explore a huge Harry Potter world.
When does the Harry Potter series start?
So, for better or for worse, fans have to come to terms with the fact that there won't be another film from the Harry Potter universe (at least for the time being). Fortunately, supplies are still in sight.
There's nothing wrong with that the much-speculated action role-playing game “Hogwarts Legacy 2” meant, but the reboot series from Warner Bros. and HBO. According to current plans, this will celebrate its premiere towards the end of 2026 or beginning of 2027. Unfortunately, a specific start date has not yet been set.
