September 1 is the first day of Hogwarts for those in the “Harry Potter” stories.

The report followed news that punters were paying up to ,000 for a single ticket to the West End stage play Harry Potter and the Cursed Child.
Warner Bros. has reportedly filed for a new class 9 trademark for “The Cursed Child”, which would allow the studio to produce a motion picture for the play. It is all speculation of course, but there is more than likely some discussion about it. K. Rowling got a Hogwarts fact mixed up, blames “Harry Potter and the Cursed Child” appeared first on HelloGiggles.
Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them hits United Kingdom cinemas 18 November, with the event taking place at Warner Bros. The original trio are a major thematic part of Cursed Child, so it’s kind of impossible to leave them out of a movie adaptation.
There are also quite a few obstacles in the practicality of the Cursed Child story that may make it very hard to adapt to the big screen. The circumstances would have to be pretty extraordinary. While Harry himself has to deal with his past refusing to stay where it should, his son Albus has his own troubles in trying to live up to the legacy of said past as the son of the one who defeated Lord Voldemort.
So yes, it certainly makes sense that Warner Bros. would want to milk another film or two out of the Harry Potter franchise. “But then I am sure Harrison Ford said that with Han Solo and look what happened there!” he had said earlier.
“So I am saying “No” for now, but leaving room to backtrack in the future”.
And just when we thought it couldn’t get any more magical than that, New York Daily News reported that the studio is now approaching none other than Daniel Radcliffe for the lead role!
Now, that’s awesome and all, but what if I told you that Warner Bros. might actually want to bring Harry Potter back for a new trilogy on the big screen?!
In news we could have guessed going in, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them has been rated PG-13, which is the sweet spot most movies aim to hit between pleasing adults, while still being able to access the teenage crowd.
Kings Cross Station was even in on the action, posting Hogwarts as a destination on their departure board (yes, we know the Hogwarts Express leaves at 11:00, but it’s the thought that counts!).

The author penned the script and has already written the sequel, with a third planned too.
