Harry Potter series begins selecting screenwriter Rowling as producer

Sina Film reported today (January 20) that according to Deadline, the TV series "Harry Potter" has begun to select screenwriters. People from Warner Bros. and Max recently met with several screenwriters to listen to their ideas for the series. These candidates include Americans and British. The show requires screenwriters to come up with ideas that reflect their own ideas for the IP, including Martha Hillier ("The Old Kingdom"), Kathleen Jordan ("The Bounty Hunter"), Tom Moran ("The Devil's Hour") and Michael Lesslie ("The Hunger Games: Songbirds and Snakes"), etc.

It is not yet known to what extent Harry Potter author J.K. Rowling will be involved in the series, but she serves as executive producer and is expected to be involved in the decision-making of the series.

Sources said: The progress of the show is still in the "germination" stage, and it is said that more than one screenwriter may be recruited. Max is not looking for just one idea, but is open to more Harry Potter derivative projects. Max and Warner Bros. TV declined to comment on this report.
