Following a massive merger, it's a new day at Warner Bros. Discovery. That new day involves freshly-minted CEO David Zaslav deciding the overall direction of the company, which includes more Harry Potter.
Already, we've seen a number of executive departures on the Warner Bros. side and the removal of scripted programming at TBS and TNT.
One thing that's not changing is a focus on Warner Bros. tentpole franchises. Reports already point to Zaslav looking for a boss for the entire DC brand, akin to the job Marvel Studios boss Kevin Feige has at Disney. It also seems that more Harry Potter content is on the company's priority list.
According to a report from the Wall Street Journal, Zaslav is looking to make Harry Potter-related content for HBO Max. The WSJ also states that the CEO has plans to meet with creator J.K. Rowling in the coming weeks in order to discuss this potential content.
