All you Potterheads that have been wishing for a spin-off TV show can go ahead and let that dream go.
Harry Potter creator JK Rowling is pretty sure that a TV series won’t be happening any time soon, if not ever!
Rowling was asked on Twitter about the possible idea. “So like… We had seven books and 8 movies. We are getting a play and 3 spin-off movies. Where is our TV Show,” asked Skyler Spitz.
Rowling replied: “Right after the opera, Potter-on-ice and the interpretative dance version of Beedle the Bard #NotActuallyHappening.”

The author’s seven Harry Potter novels were published from 1997 to 2007. They were adapted into eight movies from 2001 to 2011, as the final book was split into two films.
Rowling also wrote Quidditch Through the Ages (2001), Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (2001) and The Tales of Beedle the Bard (2008).
An interactive website Pottermore was launched in 2011, featuring previously-unpublished material further expanding the Harry Potter universe.
There are The Wizarding World of Harry Potter sections at a number of Universal Parks & Resorts theme parks and the Potter-based Warner Bros. Studio Tour London at Leavesden that opened in March 2012.
A Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them movie will be released on November 18, 2016, with sequels planned for 2018 and 2020.
A non-musical theatrical production Harry Potter and the Cursed Child with a story co-written by Rowling and script by Jack Thorne will open at the end of next summer.
